SEOUL – K-pop megastar V from boy band BTS has purchased a luxury apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, for 14.2 billion won (S$13 million), according to South Korean news reports.<\/p>\n
Real estate records show that the 29-year-old singer, whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, completed the purchase of the 273.96 sq m residence at PH129 on Sept 17.<\/p>\n
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment, with views of the Han River, was paid for entirely in cash, without a registered mortgage, the reports said. The contract was signed in early May, and ownership was transferred after the final payment in September.<\/p>\n
PH129, formerly known as the Penthouse Cheongdam, is regarded as one of the most exclusive apartments in South Korea. Built in 2020 by Hyundai Engineering & Construction, the complex comprises 29 units across 20 floors, with ceilings as high as 7m.<\/p>\n
In May, the South Korean government\u2019s assessment data showed that one of its largest units, spanning 407.71 sq m, was valued at 17.21 billion won.<\/p>\n
V\u2019s purchase follows other high-profile real estate acquisitions by members of BTS.<\/p>\n
In June, Jin, 32, bought a unit at Hannam The Hill for 17.5 billion won in cash, while J-Hope, 31, acquired a penthouse at Afer Hangang in 2024 for roughly 12 billion won.<\/p>\n
RM, 31, and Jimin, 29, each bought residences at Nine One Hannam in 2021, for 6.3 billion won and 5.9 billion won respectively. THE KOREA HERALD\/ASIA NEWS NETWORK <\/p>\n
