On September 3rd, a media outlet reported that j-hope recently bought a penthouse in a high-end apartment complex in Seoul for 12 billion KRW (approximately 9 million USD) entirely in cash. It was also revealed that a month later, he purchased an additional unit on the floor below the penthouse.
According to the report, j-hope signed the contract for the lower-floor unit in June 2020 and completed the full payment this July, officially transferring ownership. The current market price for these apartments ranges from 11 billion to 12 billion KRW (approximately 8.3 to 9 million USD). Since j-hope did not take out a mortgage, it’s estimated that he paid over 20 billion KRW (almost 15 million USD) in cash to purchase the two apartments.
This is not the first time j-hope has invested in luxury real estate, as he previously bought two other high-end apartments. With these purchases, j-hope now owns a total of four luxury residences, solidifying his status as ‘young and rich.’
Meanwhile, j-hope enlisted in the military as an active-duty soldier on April 18, 2023, and is scheduled to be discharged this October.
