Rain was prosecuted for his involvement in an 8.5 billion won real estate fraud case, and the company quickly issued a statement denying it

On September 25, South Korean actor Rain (Jung Ji-hoon) was sued, claiming that Rain sold him the wrong real estate by false means, involving up to 8.5 billion won, or about 46.41 million yuan.

It is reported that the plaintiff A is a wealthy businessman, Rain expressed his intention to buy A's property in Gyeonggi Province in May last year, which is worth 25 billion won, when Rain proposed to A to buy his 8.5 billion won mansion in Itaewon because of the lack of capital turnover, and after the transaction was completed, Rain pooled 25 billion won to buy A's property.

The transaction was completed in July last year, but A later repented and went to court on September 25 to sue Rain for fraud, claiming that when he bought the mansion in Itaewon, Rain refused to let him visit, saying that because his wife Kim Tae-hee was at home and did not want to be disturbed, he only showed the interior decoration through photos.

In response to A's complaint, Rain responded by a statement through his brokerage company denying the fraud, saying that he had not refused A to visit the house.

Rain said that A's claim is completely false, the buyer is just because Rain is an artist who is too picky, thinking that buying a multi-billion won property only through photos is completely fanciful, A's statements and claims are wrong, and if you want to see the house, you can go to the intermediary platform to browse, a lot of evidence shows that A's claim is not true, will submit evidence in accordance with legal procedures, and take strong measures to respond.

It is reported that Rain and Kim Tae-hee are rated as the richest Korean star couple, the two hold a property of nearly 100 billion won, and the building where their brokerage company is located is one of Rain's private properties, with a market value of more than 37 billion won.

As the richest Korean celebrity couple, Rain and his wife frequently buy and sell properties, and Rain sold the Itaewon property last year that he bought for 30 million yuan in 2016, making a profit of nearly 20 million yuan. In 2021, he sold the building in Cheongdam-dong for more than 300 million yuan, making a profit of 200 million yuan.

It is worth mentioning that although the two frequently buy and sell real estate, but strictly protect personal privacy, their two daughters were born so far has not been exposed, A claims that Rain refused to visit on the grounds that Kim Tae-hee was at home, which sounds like a thing, but a set of properties involving 8.5 billion won was purchased with only a few photos, which is really a fantasy.
