[enter-talk] RYU JUNYEOL COMMITTED DEBT2

Bit2/Debt2 is a movement that followed Me2, although completely non-related, it's social media movement where people publicly accuse celebrities or public figures of failing to repay debts, usually money borrowed by them or their family members

"Ryu Junyeol, bought a building with a family corporation, 5.8 billion → 15 billion... grew wealth through debt2 investment"

Actor Ryu Junyeol's family corporation has been re-examined for having gained a profit of billions of won from a Gangnam building investment.

The MBC current affairs program 'Straight' aired on the 8th investigated celebrities accumulating wealth through one-person agencies under the theme 'One-person agency, fool if you don't?'

The production team visited a building located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is known that the building, with two basement levels and seven floors above ground, was traded for about 15 billion won in 2022. This fact was already known in 2022.

1. Setting up a one-person agency in the name of the family
2. Purchasing a 6 billion won Gangnam building entirely through loans, taking advantage of the fact that corporations can get better bank loans than individuals
3. Selling it for 15 billion won about 2 years later to realize a 9 billion won profit... It's frustrating when a handsome guy does it, but it's even more frustrating when an ugly guy does it. Celebrities really make money easily.

He's the real life 'guy who claims he doesn't care about money is the guy who is the craziest about money'

The reason Ryu is getting criticized isn’t just the speculation itself. It’s that in public he acted like he was righteous, talking about Greenpeace and things like that, pretending to be thoughtful, principled, and socially conscious. But behind the scenes he was doing all sorts of shady things. Acting like he cared about the environment, but it turns out he’s a golf fanatic, etc...

Isn’t this speculation rather than a ‘debt2’? Celebrities often buy buildings through corporations using full loans and then profit from the increase in market price. It doesn’t seem illegal

Huh? I thought he said he didn't care about money before and even got sworn at for being like that

5. [+118, -2]

Just how many times did he talk about not caring about money?
