BTS member V recently made a luxury apartment purchase in Seoul, further solidifying his real estate portfolio. This luxury apartment purchase involved a high-end residence in Cheongdam-dong valued at 14.2 billion won (approximately $10.1 million). The transaction took place with a full cash payment, underscoring V’s strong financial standing.
Real estate records confirm that V completed the purchase on September 17. The apartment spans 273.96 square meters and features five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The residence offers scenic views of the Han River and is part of PH129, one of South Korea’s most exclusive residential complexes.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction developed PH129, formerly known as Penthouse Cheongdam, in 2020. It consists of 29 units across 20 floors, boasting ceiling heights up to seven meters. Government assessments in May valued one of the complex’s largest units, measuring 407.71 square meters, at 17.21 billion won.
This luxury apartment purchase follows several other significant real estate investments by BTS members. In June, Jin acquired a unit at Hannam The Hill for 17.5 billion won, paying entirely in cash. J-Hope purchased a penthouse at Afer Hangang last year for about 12 billion won. Meanwhile, RM and Jimin secured residences at Nine One Hannam in 2021, costing 6.3 billion won and 5.9 billion won respectively.
Experts note that these investments highlight a broader trend of K-pop stars diversifying their assets beyond music careers. Their focus on high-end real estate in prime Seoul neighborhoods demonstrates both financial success and long-term wealth planning. Moreover, these purchases have generated considerable public interest due to the celebrities’ influence.
Looking ahead, V and other BTS members plan to continue investing in prestigious properties as their careers evolve. The luxury apartment purchase exemplifies their strategic approach to securing valuable assets. As K-pop continues to expand globally, such high-profile investments reflect a growing economic impact within and beyond the entertainment industry.
