BTS’ Jin has made headlines by purchasing a luxury Seoul residence entirely in cash, cementing his status as a savvy real estate investor.
According to Medical Today on the 5th, Jin bought a unit at Hannam The Hill Apartments in Yongsan-gu’s Hannam-dong for 17.5 billion won (12.9 million USD) without taking out any loans.
Hannam The Hill is renowned as Korea’s most expensive apartment complex. Built on the former Dankook University site, the development features 32 buildings with two basement levels through 12 floors above ground, housing a total of 600 units. The complex is home to numerous political figures, business leaders, and celebrities.
This isn’t Jin’s first Hannam The Hill purchase. In July 2019, he bought a 233㎡ unit for 4.49 billion won ($3.3 million), followed by a 206㎡ unit for 4.27 billion won ($3.1 million) that November. These earlier investments have reportedly generated massive returns, with Jin earning at least 10 billion won ($7.4 million) in capital gains.
Jin also recently gave fans a glimpse into his life in Hannam-dong on the May 15th episode of tvN’s variety show Handsome Guys. When asked about living in the area, Jin enthusiastically shared: “First of all, the neighborhood is really quiet. There are lots of famous restaurants. People often arrange to meet up in Hannam-dong. Living here, you can hear languages from all over the world.”
