SEOUL, Sept 25 \u2014 BTS member V is making waves beyond the music charts with a jaw-dropping real estate move, South Korean media outlet\u00a0Xportsnews reported today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The K-pop superstar, whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, has purchased a luxury apartment in one of Seoul\u2019s most exclusive addresses \u2014 and paid for it entirely in cash.<\/p>\n
According to property registration records cited by Xportsnews, V became the new owner of a unit in PH129 (The Penthouse Cheongdam), a prestigious residential complex in the affluent Cheongdam area of Gangnam District, for a cool 14.2 billion won (RM43.4 million).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 273.96-square-metre duplex boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Records show no mortgage or collateral, signalling that the BTS vocalist completed the deal without taking out a loan \u2014 a rare feat even among Korea\u2019s wealthiest celebrities.<\/p>\n
Xportsnews noted that V signed the purchase contract in early May, roughly a month before his military discharge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He officially took ownership on September 17, when the final payment was completed and the deed was transferred.<\/p>\n
Completed in 2020, PH129 is one of Seoul\u2019s most coveted residential properties, offering just 29 duplex units across six underground floors and 20 storeys above ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is home to a roster of high-profile residents, including actors Jang Dong-gun and Ko So-young and golf champion Park In-bee .\u00a0<\/p>\n
Its prime location, strict privacy measures and limited number of residents have cemented its status as a symbol of wealth and exclusivity in Korea\u2019s high-end property market.<\/p>\n
Fans online have been buzzing over the news, with many pointing out that V\u2019s all-cash purchase highlights his staggering financial clout and signals an exciting new chapter in his post-military life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Xportsnews added, the move comes as BTS prepares for a full-group comeback next year \u2014 giving fans even more reason to celebrate both his personal milestones and the group\u2019s much-anticipated reunion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEOUL, Sept 25 \u2014 BTS member V is making waves beyond the music charts with a jaw-dropping real…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[110201,64,63,110202,110197,134,110198,136,110199,110200],"class_list":["post-168131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-14-2-billion-won-apartment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bts-comeback-2023","tag-bts-v-luxury-apartment","tag-entertainment","tag-kim-tae-hyung-real-estate","tag-music","tag-ph129-cheongdam-purchase","tag-seoul-high-end-property"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
