Talent Im Ye-jin (66, birth name Im Ki-hee) fell victim to a planned real estate scam.

On the 12th, a video titled "Lady Im Ye-jin sets off to find her Jeju land bought without seeing it 15 years ago" was posted on Im Ye-jin's YouTube channel 'Im Ye-jin IC'.

In the video, Im Ye-jin said, "I have a piece of land I bought in Jeju Island several decades ago. I forgot the size in pyeong." She continued, "A younger sister I like said she was going to buy land in Jeju, so I asked her, 'Where is it? What is it? Please buy me an adjacent plot exactly like that,' and I purchased 50 million won worth of land. So today, I came to see with my own eyes, 'That is my land.' I bought the land without seeing it when I purchased it. Because a younger sister I really like and trust checked everything before buying. At the time, that younger sister was busy looking at various things and had a great interest in real estate, studying a lot, so I thought I would benefit from that too. How could land lie?"

She added, "So I am also a kind of landlord. But I have never visited even once over the past several decades." She further stated, "I will raise it well and use it as a dowry for my daughter's marriage later, or just use it myself. It is land for retirement funds."

However, there was a warning notice posted on Im Ye-jin's Jeju land. Afterwards, Im Ye-jin heard an explanation from an official: "It has been almost 20 years since construction began. It is currently a quarry."

She also learned that "the land price is very cheap. There is nothing to bring in. It is 100,000 won per pyeong."

The results of the land registration document inquiry were even more shocking. The PD pointed out, "It is recorded as an excessive registered title holder, exceeding 178 people. It is said that more than 178 people are listed as owners within this address. If we calculate the total 1,400 pyeong at 100,000 won, it is 140 million won, but if we divide that by 178 people, it is 820,000 won."

Ultimately, Im Ye-jin sent an SOS to a real estate expert acquaintance. She said, "I bought land in Jeju Island long ago, but I have never been there, no taxes are coming out, and it seemed strange, so I came to see it. But they say it is a quarry."

In response, the acquaintance said, "You were deceived by planned real estate and bought it." He added, "Just look at it as birds coming to live there. It cannot be sold either. Why on earth would you buy something like that?"

Im Ye-jin could not hide her bitterness, evoking sympathy from viewers.
