The Real Estate Flex Heard Around K-pop
BTS’s V is living his luxury era. On May 17, the global superstar sealed the deal on a jaw-dropping penthouse in Cheongdam-dong, one of Seoul’s wealthiest neighborhoods—think the Beverly Hills of Korea. And here’s the kicker: he paid the entire ₩14.2 billion (approximately $10.3 million USD) in cold, hard cash. No loans. Just vibes.
A Palace Among the Clouds
This isn’t just any apartment. V’s new pad spans nearly 274 square meters (that’s nearly 3,000 square feet) and features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and enough room to throw an award show after-party. The unit is tucked inside a luxury high-rise with only 29 residences, rising from six floors underground to 20 above.
But the crown jewel? A stunning panoramic window—a whopping 6 meters tall and 11 meters wide—showcasing unobstructed views of the Han River. That’s interior design meets daydream-worthy luxury.
Famous Neighbors, Iconic Vibes
When it comes to neighbors, V will be in good company. A-list residents include veteran actor Jang Dong-gun and his wife, actress Ko So-young, as well as Olympic gold medalist and pro golfer Park In-bee. It’s giving “Hallyu Hall of Fame” energy.
When Did It All Go Down?
The purchase wasn’t exactly an impulse buy. V locked in the contract earlier in May, and the transaction was finalized on May 17 with ownership officially transferred by the construction company on that day.
Now that the paperwork’s signed and sealed, V’s adding “real estate mogul” to his ever-expanding resume. ARMY, we’ve always known he has taste—but this? This is next level.
The Billionaire Boyband Dream
In the world of K-pop, lavish homes aren’t new, but buying one outright with no financing? That’s rare air. And V just casually joined that elite homeowners’ club with effortless grace—just like he does everything else.
