BTS' Jin Reportedly Earns Over RM23 Million on Seoul Luxury Home Sale

(Seoul, Aug. 1) BTS member Jin has reportedly made a substantial profit from the sale of one of his luxury properties in Seoul, further highlighting his successful investments outside the entertainment industry.

According to South Korean media, Jin sold a luxury apartment in the prestigious Hannam The Hill residential complex in Seoul's Yongsan District in April this year. The 235-square-metre unit was sold for KRW12.7 billion (approximately RM35.95 million), with ownership officially transferred after the final payment was completed.

Jin originally purchased the property in July 2019 for KRW4.49 billion (around RM12.71 million), paying the full amount in cash without taking out a mortgage. After holding the property for about seven years, he reportedly recorded a paper profit of KRW8.21 billion (approximately RM23.24 million).

Despite the sale, Jin still owns two other luxury residences within the same Hannam The Hill development. One was purchased in late 2019, while the other is a 243-square-metre penthouse acquired in March 2025 for KRW17.5 billion (around RM49.54 million), a transaction that reportedly set a record price for the exclusive neighbourhood at the time.

Reports also noted that Jin completed the sale before South Korea reinstated higher capital gains taxes on owners of multiple homes, allowing the transaction to be taxed under the previous regulations.

Completed in 2011, Hannam The Hill is widely regarded as one of South Korea's most prestigious luxury residential communities, home to numerous celebrities, business leaders and high-profile figures.
