Bi Rain denies real estate fraud allegations

Allkpop reported on September 26 that Bi Rain's company responded to Money Today that they have not received an official complaint regarding the incident. "We only received a recent call from the police station regarding the complaint. Therefore, we requested that the case be transferred to the Gangnam Police Station," said Bi Rain's company.

They added that "A"'s claim that he never saw the house that Bi Rain sold and that he bought is false. Bi Rain did not hide the house and showed it to "A's" wife twice through his father. Correspondence and real estate company employees can prove this claim.

Bi Rain accused of real estate fraud

"It is not true that 'A' accused Bi Rain of sending false photos of the house's outdoor swimming pool. The photo in question is Bi Rain's profile photo on the KakaoTalk platform. We always urge those who intend to buy a house to refer to satellite images to know more about the house. The house's construction records also clearly show that there is no swimming pool. It is unreasonable to lie to sell a property worth 8.5 billion won" - Bi Rain's statement said.

"A's" representative immediately responded through YouTuber Gu Je Yeok's channel: "Bi Rain's claim that he had shown the house is completely false and we are extremely angry at his baseless lies. We plan to present more evidence to expose Bi Rain's fraudulent claims.

Previously, "A" accused Bi Rain of real estate fraud. "A's" lawyer filed a complaint against the singer and actor to the Yonsan Police Station in Seoul. They alleged that in May 2022, Bi Rain expressed his desire to buy a building and a plot of land owned by "A" in the Namyang New Urban Area, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi. "A" offered a selling price of 25 billion won, and then Bi Rain asked "A" to buy his house in Itaewon, Seoul. "A" agreed, completing the purchase of the house for 8.5 billion won. Bi Rain also completed the purchase of the building and plot of land with a final price of 23.5 billion won from "A".

In the complaint, "A" claimed that Rain's house was not properly appraised and inspected before purchasing. The real estate agent told "A" that because Rain is a celebrity and his wife, actress Kim Tae-hee, was at home, he could not show the house because he did not want to reveal privacy. "A" was only provided with pictures of the house.

However, "A" claimed that the house he bought from Bi Rain was not exactly as described in the photos he received. The house lacked an outdoor swimming pool and the exterior was also different. Inside, the house looked dilapidated, unlike the photos.

"Bi Rain was concerned about privacy, refused to let buyers see the house and provided misleading photos about the house's condition and value" - "A's" lawyer informed.

They claim that "A" suffered irreparable financial losses from Bi Rain's fraudulent behavior in buying and selling houses.
