New Delhi:
BTS member J-Hope has reportedly bought two luxury apartments in Seoul, paying entirely in cash. According to a report by BizHankook, J-Hope purchased a penthouse in the prestigious Seobinggo-dong neighborhood of Yongsan, Seoul for 12 billion KRW (about 9 million USD). He paid full price in cash. Soon after, he bought another apartment directly below the penthouse.
The report says that J-Hope, who is currently serving in the military, signed the contract for the second apartment on June 23, 2020 and made the payment on July 26, 2020, when ownership was secured. The current market value of these properties is estimated at 11-12 billion KRW (approximately 8.2-9 million USD).
Notably, J-Hope didn’t take out a mortgage and spent over 20 billion KRW in cash on two apartments. This is not his first foray into corporate real estate, as he has previously purchased two other luxury residences. With these recent purchases, J-Hope now owns a total of four high-end homes in Seoul.
ICYDK, J-Hope enlisted in the military in April of last year and serves as an instructor at the Baekho Recruit Training Center under the 36th Infantry Division. He previously gained attention after earning a two-month early promotion to corporal. J-Hope is expected to be released on October 17th.
