Why has K-drama star Kim Tae-hee, wife of K-pop superstar Rain, dropped US$2 million on a house in California?
- Reports have previously suggested the glamour couple might look to further their careers in the United States
K-drama actress Kim Tae-hee recently bought a 2.4 billion won (US$2 million) house in Irvine, California, according to South Korean entertainment media Newsen on Thursday.
“Kim did purchase the residence, but we cannot confirm further details due to privacy reasons,” an official for her agency BS Company told media outlet TV Report.
Newsen had previously reported that Kim bought the house to gear up for her Hollywood entry, adding she also considered her husband, singer-actor Rain, who might forge a career in the United States.
“Kim is expected to announce her Hollywood entry after giving birth to her baby,” a friend of Kim was quoted as saying.
But the BS spokesperson said the report has been exaggerated.
“Kim has auditioned for some [Hollywood] films and dramas, but [there has been] no confirmation [about roles],” the spokesperson said. “It is uncertain whether she will be cast in the future.”
Described as one of the most beautiful women in South Korea, Kim has starred in dozens of hits including drama Stairway to Heaven (2003) and Iris (2009). She married Rain in 2017 and they have a daughter. Kim is expecting another baby in September.
