BTS member Jin made yet another outrageous real estate acquisition when he purchased an opulent property in Hannam The Hill, one of South Korea’s most prestigious residential complexes. Jin paid a staggering 17.5 billion won (about $12.9 million or Rs 110 crore) in cash for the 243.201-square-meter apartment in the upscale Hannam-dong district.
One of Seoul’s most luxurious complexes, Hannam The Hill is situated in the Yongsan District’s affluent Hannam-dong district. It consists of 32 buildings, each 12 floors high, housing about 600 units.
Hannam The Hill is home to many well-known South Korean celebrities and business leaders. Stars like So Ji-sub and Han Joo are among its residents.
Jin currently owns three upscale properties at Hannam The Hill, making him one of the most prominent celebrity owners in the complex. This purchase further solidifies Jin’s reputation as an astute real estate investor.
Jin has now acquired three properties in the same esteemed complex. He started his real estate journey at Hannam The Hill in July 2018 when he paid 1.87 billion won ($1.52 million) for a small 57 square meter apartment, which he subsequently sold.
He upgraded to a larger apartment in July 2019 for 4.49 billion won (approximately $3.3 million), which was 233 square meters. Later that November, he added another unit that was 206 square metres and cost 4.27 billion won ($3.1 million), according to Financial Express.
This latest acquisition comes following Jin’s second solo EP, Echo, which was released to widespread praise. Moreover, BTS members Jimin, Suga and Jungkook were recently seen leaving for the United States, while the group’s leader, RM, is already in Los Angeles.
The group is reportedly working on their eagerly awaited 2026 return album. It is expected that Jin, who is presently on his solo tour, will soon join them.
In the meantime, V (Kim Taehyung), who walked the catwalk for Celine at Paris Fashion Week, is also heading to America to get back together with his bandmates.
Jin took a measured strategy by combining three properties into one upscale complex, increasing his assets while reducing the difficulties associated with diversification. As BTS gets ready to return as a group after serving in the military, members like Jin are carefully laying the financial groundwork for their future artistic endeavours.
