With Jin's earlier discharge, the military service status of the remaining BTS members is receiving considerable attention.
The next member to be discharged is J-Hope, who is scheduled to be discharged on October 17.
Korean media reported that J-Hope (BTS)'s real estate investment has skyrocketed with the latest luxury apartment purchase worth 20 billion won.
On September 3, 2024, a media outlet revealed that J-Hope purchased a penthouse in a luxury apartment complex in Seoul for 12 billion won (approximately $9.2 million), paying the entire amount in cash. Just a month later, he also purchased the apartment right below the penthouse.
J-Hope reportedly signed a contract to purchase the apartment below the penthouse in June 2020 and completed full payment in July this year, officially transferring ownership.
The current market value of the apartments in this complex is estimated to be between 11 billion and 12 billion won (about 8.4 million and 9.2 million USD). Many sources say that J-Hope paid more than 20 billion won (about 15.4 million USD) in cash for both apartments, as he did not take out any mortgage loans.
This isn't the first time J-Hope has invested in luxury real estate. With his recent acquisitions, he now owns several luxury properties, further cementing his status as the "young and rich" idol in K-pop.
