J-Hope has purchased a luxury penthouse at Afer Hangang, Seoul’s latest luxury neighborhood.
According to Tenasia‘s report on June 20, KST, J-Hope bought a unit in the Afer Hangang penthouse in Yongsan, Seoul, entirely in cash. The unit is a duplex with a total area of 273.86 square meters (approximately 2948 square feet).
The BTS rapper was allotted the unit in 2020, but the ownership was completed only recently, on June 10. The house is estimated to be priced at about ₩12.0 billion KRW (about $8.69 million USD).
