Female singer who was once so successful that she earned more money than a bank

At the time, she was a trending star who consistently appeared on various stages such as music broadcasts, events and festivals to the point where it would feel odd without her presence.

Naturally, along with speculations that she earned a lot of money, rumors followed her, ranging from “She owns several buildings” to “She has more money than the Bank of Korea“.

She didn’t have as much money as the Bank of Korea, but she earned more than a certain bank.

She was speculated to have bought buildings if she had gathered all that money. However, as soon as she entered her 30s, she lost all that money she earned in her 20s due to being swindled. After falling victim to fraud, she suffered from symptoms such as depression, panic, insomnia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, requiring psychiatric treatment.

Lee Soo-young had to sort out her only remaining rented house amidst the continuous incidents. When she informed her husband that she was in a serious negative situation before their marriage, he showed an unwavering determination by saying “I’ll handle it“, and they were able to successfully get married.

She still trusts her husband’s once-in-a-lifetime decision infinitely. Thanks to the valuable experience, she came to think, “Let’s spend all the money we earn. The worst thing we can leave for our children is money.” She even expressed her determination to spend everything without leaving any inheritance for her only son.
