Lee Soo-ji confessed to losing all her assets in a housing sales scam.

On MBC entertainment show ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ aired on the 5th, Lee Soo-ji said, “I don’t know why I was scammed.I wanted to live in a house because I like nature, but I made a mistake.” In 2023, she spent all of her savings, 400 million won, on a newly built house in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, but was scammed because the house was built by a representative who did not have the authority to build it.

Hong Hyun-hee, who appeared with him, said, “When he said he was moving and building a house, we congratulated him and said it was great.But later, we saw an article and found out that we were scammed,” expressing her regret.Lee Soo-ji said, “I’m currently renting,” and bitter reactions continued in the studio.

At the time of the fraud, Lee Soo-ji was looking for another place to live when the landlord of the house she was renting asked her to raise the price by 500 million won, and she signed a contract for the house.Later, it was revealed that the representative of the construction company that sold the building was not the actual owner, and the representative built 13 houses and sold them in the same way, and then lost contact.The court ruled to return the entire amount, but the defendant claimed that “there is no money,” so in reality, the return has not been made.

Lee Soo-ji recalled, “I didn’t know about depression, but it was so hard that I thought, ‘Should I go to a psychiatrist?’” She also recently revealed on a TV show that she “will not buy a house until I die and will live in a rented house.”

Meanwhile, on the show that day, Lee Soo-ji received comfort from her senior in the comedy world, Lee Young-ja, and laughed, saying, “Nature is really great.I’m so happy right now.” Lee Young-ja said, “I was popular and had a lot of troubles as Jamie’s mom, but I hope you’re happy at this moment.”
