RM and Jimin bought flats in Seoul’s most expensive complex where BigBang’s G-Dragon, Kingdom star Jun Ji-hyun and other South Korean celebrities own property

Jungkook and J-Hope invested in Seoul Forest Trimage alongside Girl’s Day’s Yura and SNSD’s Sunny – but where was the music video for Life Goes On filmed?

The Bangtan Boys have come a long way since their early days of sleeping in bunk beds and sharing a single, cramped room together. The K-pop supergroup recently made headlines once again when RM and Jimin bought apartments in one of the most lavish complexes in Korea. Who knows, perhaps the song Moving On with the lyrics “let’s move, now to a higher place” is actually about buying hot new property?

So what other luxurious real estate have BTS’ members treated themselves to over the years?

Nine One Hannam is currently crowned the most expensive apartment complex in Seoul and is nicknamed the “Beverly Hills of Korea”. Situated near the Han River and Namsan mountain and equipped with a four-step verification security system and facilities such as party rooms, a golf course, swimming pool and a fancy dining lounge with breakfast served by hotel chefs, the estate has a lot to offer for celebrities.

According to Koreaboo, RM and Jimin made their big purchase in March, spending around US$5.7 million and US$5.3 million respectively – in cash, no less. If they intend to live in the flats, they’ll become neighbours with other hallyu stars like G-Dragon and Jun Ji-hyun.

BTS’ members have also lived in Hannam the Hill from 2017, which was ranked as having the most expensive apartment in the country from 2015 to 2020, according to South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The boys shared a 2,150 sq ft flat. Fans will recognise it from the video of BTS reacting to their Grammy Award nomination; the group also filmed its music video for Life Goes On there.
