Single’s Inferno’s Song Ji A Under Fire Again After Report Claims The S$3.4mil Apartment She Showed Off On YouTube Is Not Actually Hers
It looks like netizens aren’t letting up anytime soon when it comes to their scrutiny of the latest reality show star to take the world by storm, Single’s Inferno’s Song Ji A.
The 25-year-old beauty YouTuber, who also goes by Freezia on social media, previously apologised after being called out for wearing fake designer clothes and accessories.
At that time, netizens were already criticising Ji A for “pretending to be rich”.
Apart from flaunting her designer clothes and bags on social media, Ji A has also showed off her super swanky luxury apartment in Seoul in a house tour video on YouTube.

Her home is reportedly located at the upmarket Seoul Forest Trimage apartment complex. The estate is touted as one of the most luxurious developments in Seoul, and it counts a number of A-list celebs like Super Junior's Siwon and Heechul as well as BTS’s J-Hope as residents.
Kpop news site Koreaboo reported that an apartment similar in size to the one Ji A lives in costs 780mil won (S$883,162).
As Ji A’s apartment boasts an unblocked view of the Han River, it is estimated that her apartment is even costlier.

However, a new report from Korean media outlet WikiTree claims that Ji A does not own her apartment.
According to the report, while Ji A did not explicitly say she owns her apartment, the content she puts out has led viewers to believe so.
Ji A has also mentioned that her family has “always bought her whatever she wanted”, with many assuming that the YouTuber comes from a rich family.
But, according to WikiTree, her agency Hyowon CNC actually rents the apartment for her.

After the article was posted, Ji A took down her house tour video.
However, netizens have since flocked to a video posted in February last year by YouTuber Lee Sang Jun, where Ji A introduces her "3bil won (S$3.4 mil) apartment”.
“How much does it cost to rent a 3bil won apartment?” commented one netizen, while another wrote: "All of her clothes are knock-offs and her place is paid for monthly by her label. Please take this video down.”
As of press time, neither Ji A nor her agency has released a statement addressing this new controversy.
She appears to be unbothered by the criticism, though
