On July 31, 2026, Korean media and court registry records revealed that BTS member Jin recently sold one of his luxury residential units at the high-end Hannam The Hill complex in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
The transaction for the 235 square-meter (approx. 92-pyeong) exclusive-use residence closed at 12.7 billion KRW (~$9.3 million USD).
Jin originally purchased the property in July 2019 for 4.49 billion KRW in full cash.
By concluding this sale seven years later, the male idol realized a gross market price gain of approximately 8.21 billion KRW (~$6.0 million USD).
Real estate documents indicate that the buyer paid the entire balance without establishing any separate collateral security mortgage, marking a full-cash transaction on both sides.
Financial analysts noted that the timing of the contract signing in early April held strategic significance, as it took place just prior to the South Korean government’s reinstatement of higher capital gains tax surcharges for multi-property owners in regulated areas.
Current Real Estate Holdings and Property Background
Prior to this transaction, Jin was known to hold a substantial real estate portfolio within the exclusive Hannam The Hill development, consisting of three separate units:
- Unit 1 (Sold): 235 m² unit purchased in July 2019 for 4.49 billion KRW and sold for 12.7 billion KRW.
- Unit 2 (Retained): 206 m² unit acquired in November 2019 for 4.27 billion KRW.
- Unit 3 (Retained – The Penthouse): 243 m² luxury penthouse acquired in March 2025 for 17.5 billion KRW, setting a historic price record for the complex at the time.
With the completion of this latest sale, Jin continues to retain ownership of his remaining two properties within the complex, including the high-value penthouse unit.
Completed in 2011 on the former site of Dankook University, Hannam The Hill comprises 32 low-rise buildings and 600 households.
Renowned for its stringent multi-layered security, expansive green spaces, and private luxury amenities, the complex remains a premier neighborhood choice for prominent corporate executives, cultural figures, and top-tier entertainment industry personalities in South Korea.
