Inside BTS’s Jin’s $12.9M Seoul apartment — how many homes does he now own in South Korea?

BTS's Jin made yet another high-profile real estate move, in June, purchasing a luxury apartment in one of South Korea’s most exclusive residential complexes, according to the Korea Times.

Citing Alpha Economy and real estate industry sources, the outlet revealed that Jin recently acquired a 243.201-square-meter unit in Hannam The Hill, located in the upscale Hannam-dong neighborhood of Seoul’s Yongsan District. The price:  staggering 17.5 billion won (about $12.9 million), paid entirely in cash.

Hannam The Hill is one Seoul’s most-high end complexes. It has around 600 units in 32 buildings, each 12 stories tall. Many celebrities including So Ji-sub and Han Joo also live there.

This marks Jin’s third property in the high-end complex, which is famously home to top-tier celebrities and business elites. According to AllKpop, Jin purchased his first 614 square foot residence at Hannam Hill in July 2018 for 1.87 billion won (1.52 million dollars). He sold it, and in July 2019, he purchased a larger 2508-per-square foot residence, worth 4.4 billion won, followed by another 206-square-meter unit that November for 4.27 billion won.

With this latest acquisition, Jin further cements his presence among Korea’s real estate elite.
