After buying a villa worth 7.5 billion won (equivalent to 6 million USD) located in Seongbuk-dong, Lisa was discovered by netizens with a credit card “The Black Edition 3”.
On January 31, a video was uploaded on Jisoo’s YouTube channel titled “Congratulations to Jisoo 103%”. The video shows Jisoo traveling around Germany with Lisa. In this video, two members of BLACKPINK are seen walking around the Christmas market (Christkindlmarkt) and buying goods from the stalls. Jisoo and Lisa both took out their personal wallets and purchased items with their credit cards.
Immediately after the video was revealed, netizens gathered in various online communities to discuss Lisa’s credit card and turned their attention to the small black card.
The reason Lisa’s credit card got so much attention is because the “The Black Edition 3” Hyundai card is known as an “invite-only” card and is only owned by a few celebrities.
The card attracted attention when it was reported that Chung Tae Young, Vice President of Hyundai Card, gave Lee Jung Jae a unique VVIP card number last December. Vice President Chung posted a photo taken with Lee Jung Jae on his Facebook page and said, “We have been friends for 20 years and he is a respected noble who always inspires us. with different levels of imagination. We decided to give him the number 456 to celebrate the Squid Game.”
“The Black Edition 3” of Hyundai Card is a premium credit card, with an annual fee of 2.5 million won and only 0.05% of credit cardholders in Korea have the card. It is open to invitees only and only those with social status, prestige and financial means are eligible to be invited. After being invited to own the card, it was finally issued only after the approval of the Review Committee, which consisted of 8 executives, including the Vice President Chung. The card is limited to only 1,000 people.
In an interview, Vice Chairman Chung said of the Hyundai Black Card: “The number of members has never exceeded 1,000 on a strict compliance basis.” He revealed that not only an individual’s wealth and assets are considered, but an important aspect considered when issuing a card is that the individual is a respected person. He revealed that only those with a lot of influence in their respective fields can hold a Black card.
In addition to Lee Jung Jae and Lisa, Jin and Jungkook of BTS, actors Jun Ji Hyun and G-Dragon of Big Bang are also known to be black card users.
