On September 24, News1 reported that BTS singer V (Kim Taehyung) bought a luxury apartment in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Korea) for 14.2 billion won (about 267 billion VND), through the form of full payment in cash without mortgages.
V's apartment is located in the luxury apartment complex The penthouse Cheongdam (PH 129), famous for owning the most expensive apartment in Korea for many consecutive years.
According to the real estate registration, V bought an apartment with a usable area of 273.96m2, including 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
This apartment building is also home to many famous figures such as actor Jang Dong Gun - Ko So Young, golfer Park In bee, famous lecturer Hyun Woo Jin.
Buying an expensive apartment after his military discharge proved V's wealth.
Previously, according to Celebrity Net worth, hindustan Times and some public data, V owns a net worth of about 40 million USD, making him the richest member of BTS in 2024.
V's main sources of income include his annual income as a singer and songwriter (a member of BTS and solo artist); income from lavish advertising contracts with many luxury brands such as Celine, Cartier, as well as other brands.
Immediately after his military discharge in June, V was announced to have become a Coca-Cola ambassador, and recently a high-end outdoor fashion brand.
In addition, the income from social networks of the BTS singer is also very significant. According to Koreaboo, with an Instagram account with 69.3 million followers, V earns about 68,000 - 810,000 USD for each post on this platform. Currently, V is the Kpop male idol with the most followers on Instagram.
Before buying a 14.2 billion won apartment, in 2019, V (BTS) bought a $4.55 million apartment in the Apelbaum luxury complex, in Gangnam district, Seoul, South Korea.
After completing his military service and returning to active service, V's commercial value and appeal are increasing.
At the end of August, when V appeared at a game of the Major League Baseball (MLB), StubHub reported a five-fold increase in ticket sales for the game, even a temporary overload of the server due to the huge number of accesses.
V is currently working on a new album with the BTS members. The hit group is expected to make a comeback with a full-length album in the spring of 2026, followed by a global tour.
