BTS members V, Jimin, and Jungkook have proven that their influence extends far beyond music, as all three idols have ranked among the top 100 wealthiest stockholders under the age of 30 in South Korea.
According to a report released on December 24 by corporate data research firm CEO Score, V, Jimin, and Jungkook each hold ₩21.4 billion (approximately USD 16 million) worth of listed company shares.
The study analyzed the number of shares and stock value held by individual shareholders of listed companies, comparing data from the end of December last year to December 19 of this year. The results confirmed that the three BTS members remain among the most financially powerful young investors in the country.
Their stock wealth originates from shares in HYBE. Ahead of the company’s IPO in 2020, HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk evenly gifted 478,695 common shares to each of the seven BTS members. It has been reported that V, Jimin, and Jungkook have retained all of their shares to date, allowing their asset value to grow steadily with HYBE’s stock performance.
In the overall rankings, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae Yong claimed first place with stock holdings valued at ₩23.359 trillion, while Bang Si Hyuk ranked 10th with ₩4.123 trillion in stock assets.
The inclusion of V, Jimin, and Jungkook in the under-30 stock wealth rankings once again highlights BTS’s extraordinary status not only as global cultural icons, but also as some of South Korea’s most financially successful young figures.
As BTS continues to dominate the global stage, their long-term investment choices further cement their reputation as artists who have transformed unprecedented success into lasting financial legacy.
