IVE Gaeul Reveals Expensive Gift For Her Parents: 'They Earn Good Money...'

IVE member Gaeul proved that she is young and rich with THIS luxury gift for her parents.

On May 2, the latest episode of JYJ member Kim Jaejoong's web show, "Jae Friends," was uploaded to the YouTube channel "uhmg studio." For this episode, IVE members Gaeul and Leeseo appeared as guests.

During the show, Kim Jaejoong asked the members if they purchased any gifts for their family after receiving payment from IVE's activities.

Leeseo, the group's youngest member, revealed she bought her parents a washing machine and dryer set.

She added that she loves going shopping with her mother. Whenever she and her mother go shopping together, Leeseo buys whatever her mom wants.

However, it was Gaeul's gift that impressed netizens!

Gaeul revealed that she bought her parents an SUV car as a gift. However, since she doesn't know anything about cars or car models, she lets her mother pick what car she wanted and bought it for her.

Kim Jaejoong appeared surprised hearing this, commenting, "You bought whatever your mother wanted without considering the brand or price. That is very impressive." He noted that being able to do so is a sign the girl group has succeeded.

Her mom sent her a photo of the car with a sweet message that reads, "Thanks to Gaeul, I get to drive such a nice car." Gaeul reveals that message made her feel proud.

On May 9, a post titled "Looks like IVE are getting a good pay" was shared on the popular South Korean online community forum TheQoo. In the post, the original poster shared screenshots from IVE's appearance on Kim Jaejoong's show.

Netizens soon flooded the comment section to share their thoughts. Many commented that with the group's popularity and fame, it is obvious that they are earning good money. It was noted that all members of IVE are extremely hard-working, so it is a relief that they are being paid well.

Others pointed out that IVE has already done several world tours, variety show appearances, and brand deals, so it is only right she gets paid a lot.

Some comments read:

• "Isn't it obvious that the IVE members earn good money?"
• "Wow, IVE... They have gone to so many world tours already."
• "'You've succeeded.' It's a relief they are getting paid well."
• "They have to pay her well, their schedules are insane."

• "They are A-tier idols, of course, they get paid well."
• "The IVE members are honestly so hard-working, they need to receive a good salary."
• "Wouldn't Starship be in trouble if they didn't pay them well?"
