Amid the rapid growth of the real estate market in Seoul, it is no longer surprising that кσяєαn celebrities invest in property—this practice has become almost a “default” trend within the entertainment industry. With high but often short-lived income streams, many stars turn to real estate as a way to preserve wealth and secure long-term financial stability. This is why major names such as IU and G-Dragon have built impressive property portfolios.
The members of BTS are no exception. Currently, all BTS members own high-value apartments in some of the most luxurious residential complexes in South кσяєα, including Nine One Hannam, Itaewon, Seongsu-dong, and Apelbaum. The global superstars have even amazed and impressed millions by purchasing properties entirely in cash, without relying on loans.
Among them, Jung Ho-seok is particularly known for his “golden hand” in real estate investment. He has reportedly earned significant profits from buying and selling high-end apartments and currently owns three properties with a total value of approximately 27 billion won (around $19.4 million).
Recently, however, the “multi-property owners club” appears to have welcomed another member—Kim Seok-jin. Reports indicate that he purchased another luxury residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, last June. Specifically, кσяєαn media stated that Jin acquired an apartment at Hannam The Hill for 17.5 billion won (approximately $13 million), paying entirely in cash without any loans.
This is not Jin’s first purchase at Hannam The Hill. In July 2019, he bought a high-end apartment of 233m² for about $3.3 million, and in November of the same year, he acquired another 206m² unit for approximately $3.1 million. As property prices surged, it is estimated that Jin has gained over 10 billion won (around $7.36 million) in profit from these two apartments over the years.
As it stands, Jin now owns three high-value properties within the same complex, with a total αѕѕet value of approximately 31.2 billion won—placing him among celebrities recognized for their strong instincts in real estate investment!
Meanwhile, in Seoul’s luxury real estate market, Hannam The Hill has long been considered a “golden symbol” of the elite. Beyond its premium pricing, the complex boasts a prime location, exceptional privacy, and an exclusive community of high-profile residents.
Hannam The Hill consists of up to 12 floors, 32 buildings, and around 600 residential units. Strategically located between Gangnam and Gangbuk, it offers convenient access to the Gangnam commercial district in the south and the Gwanghwamun business hub in the north, making it an ideal location for living, business, and transportation. It is also home to the top 1% of wealthy individuals, including corporate CEOs, high-ranking government officials, and celebrities. Notable residents include Kim Tae-hee and her husband Rain, as well as actors like So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo.
Notably, Hannam The Hill also served as the shared dormitory for all seven members of BTS for many years prior to 2020, before they moved out. Jin’s decision to continue investing in this complex may partly stem from his firsthand experience and confidence in the area’s long-term potential.
On the other hand, owning multiple units within the same “premium investment” property clearly reflects a strategic investment mindset. Rather than diversifying across different locations, Jin has chosen to concentrate his αѕѕets in one of the most stable real estate markets. This demonstrates his preference for security and sustainability over short-term, high-risk profits. It also aligns with a “compound αѕѕet” strategy—where value not only grows individually but also collectively, maximizing long-term returns.
More than just a wealthy idol, Jin has proven himself to be a forward-thinking and strategic investor, leaving fans in αωє:
