BTS member V (Kim Tae Hyung) has acquired a luxury residence in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for ₩14.2 billion (approximately $10.3 million). It is believed he purchased it in full cash, without taking on any loan.
According to the real estate registry as of the 24th, V bought unit PH129 (The Penthouse Cheongdam) on the 17th of this month. The apartment’s exclusive area is 273.96 ㎡ (approx. 2,951 sq ft), and it is a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom property. Since no separate mortgage was recorded, it appears there was no collateral loan, suggesting a full-cash purchase.
The initial sales agreement was signed in early May. On the 17th, the remaining balance was fully paid, and ownership was transferred from the developer.
PH129 was completed in August 2020. The complex spans from 6 basement levels to 20 floors above ground, with a total of 29 units, each built in a duplex format. Originally named “The Penthouse Cheongdam,” the property was later renamed “PH129” in reference to its address (129 Cheongdam-dong).
The residence is known to be home to prominent figures such as actors Jang Dong gun and Go So Young, golfer Park In Bi, and star lecturer Hyun Woo Jin.
