According to real estate records revealed on September 24, BTS’s V purchased a 273.96㎡ penthouse unit at Cheongdam PH129 (formerly The Penthouse Cheongdam) in Seoul’s Gangnam district for ₩14.2 billion (approx. USD 10.3 million).
What caught attention was the payment method: the transaction reportedly involved no mortgage or debt registration, strongly suggesting that V paid the full amount in cash.
The sales contract was initially signed in early May, with the remaining balance settled on September 17, at which point V officially received ownership transfer from the developer.
The acquired property features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, part of an ultra-exclusive residence completed in August 2020. The PH129 complex consists of only 29 duplex-style units, spanning from 6 underground floors to 20 above-ground levels.
Cheongdam PH129 is widely regarded as one of Korea’s most elite residential complexes, home to numerous high-profile figures. Residents include celebrity couple Jang Dong-gun and Ko So-young, golf champion Park In-bee, and star math instructor Hyun Woo-jin.
With this purchase, V joins the list of top Korean celebrities investing in prime real estate, further solidifying his status as one of the wealthiest and most influential stars in the country.
