BTS superstar V, also known as Kim Taehyung, just made a jaw-dropping move in the real estate game! On September 17th, 2025, the singer officially became the owner of PH129, a swanky penthouse in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. And the price tag? A spicy ₩14,2 billion, which is about $10,3 million. And the baddest part? South Korean news outlet Naver reported that he paid it all in cash, with no loans or strings attached, just money flex.
According to registry records updated on September 24th, V closed the deal without a single mortgage attached, meaning it was straight cash flow. The apartment spans nearly 2,951 square feet, featuring five bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it the perfect blend of space and luxury. The purchase followed an agreement signed back in early May, with full payment and ownership transfer completed earlier this month.

PH129 was completed in August 2020, for those who might not know. The complex has only 29 duplex units and has been home to big names like actors Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young, golfer Park In Bi, and famed lecturer Hyun Woo Jin. Once called “The Penthouse Cheongdam,” the property rebranded with its address-inspired name. Now, it has another A-lister owner, and that’s none other than our king with a deep voice, V.
