Jang Won-young of K-pop girl group IVE is once again drawing attention for her “young and rich” lifestyle after revealing part of her luxury Seoul home on social media — including a designer couch estimated to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
On Thursday, Jang uploaded photos showing herself relaxing at home, giving fans a rare glimpse inside her residence in Hannam-dong, one of Seoul’s most expensive neighborhoods favored by celebrities and business elites.
In the photos, the singer is seen lying comfortably on a large red modular couch placed at the center of the living room.
Online users quickly identified the furniture as a design by famed French designer Pierre Paulin. According to online estimates, each module of the sofa is priced between $5,400 and $8,200. Based on the number of connected sections visible in the photos, some fans estimated the full piece could be worth more than 200 million won ($145,000).
The sofa has previously appeared in the homes of celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Peggy Gou.

The striking red furniture dominated the living room interior, while fans also focused on the home’s lighting fixtures and decorative objects.
The photos additionally revealed a panoramic view overlooking the Lotte World Tower skyline and the Han River, adding to online fascination with the idol’s home.
Jang made headlines last year after reports said she purchased a luxury villa in Hannam-dong entirely in cash for 13.7 billion won ($10 million).
