On May 28, So Yu appeared on the YouTube channel 'Lipman Yeol Myeon' to clarify rumors regarding her monthly rent of 13 million won. The video was titled "Addressing Plastic Surgery, Monthly Rent, Dating Rumors, Male Friends, and Drunken Women."

So Yu discussed a dating rumor that surfaced while she was living in Hannam-dong, stating, "I thought about getting married after living here for about five years. But when I mentioned that I was considering moving because I no longer thought about marriage, people reacted with, 'So there was a man she thought about marrying.'"

She added, "I naturally thought about marriage because of my age. I even moved when I didn't have a boyfriend."

When MC Lee Yong-jin asked if she had been without a boyfriend during that time, she replied, "Not at all."

So Yu confirmed the rumor about her monthly rent being 13 million won, saying, "That's true. People think I'm wealthy, but I didn't pay that amount entirely. I didn't clarify it because I thought it was better to appear well-off than to look like a beggar." This comment elicited laughter.

Earlier, on May 19, So Yu appeared on the web entertainment show 'Desperate Lip' on the YouTube channel 'Studio Suje.' She revealed, "Ten years ago, I invested 100 million won in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to study stocks. The profits from those investments significantly helped me purchase my new home and move."
