Let’s take a virtual tour through the opulent BTS members’ houses, their lifetime accomplishments, and their journey to the top. 

BTS’s Meteoric Rise To Stardom

As the debutants of an unidentified entertainment company, Big Hit Entertainment, BTS was initially considered an outsider in the K-pop industry. The group made headlines after the release of their albums “2 Cool 4 Skool” and “O!RUL8,2” in 2013, followed by their first live performance in the same year. BTS also won the “Best Rookie Award” at the 2013 Melon Music Awards in South Korea. 

In the international market, their big game to fame was their song “I Need You Girl” in 2015, two years after their debut. The song became one of the most popular K-pop sensations, ranked at the 6th spot on the Heatseekers Album Chart. It even made them win several awards in South Korean music shows. 

The group came out stronger in 2016 by winning Daesang (Album of the Year) in Melon Music Awards and Group of the year in MNET Asian Music Awards. Entering the Top 200 at spot 171, to their first appearance in the 2017 Billboard Awards, the group announced their pathway to success by winning the title of “Top Social Artist”.  

Following their lifetime moment at the Billboards, the group performed their much-loved song DNA for U.S. audiences. After just one day, the performance made it to the Guinness Book of World Records with enormous numbers of viewership and social media engagement for a K-pop group. 

Their third album, “Love Yourself: Tear,” became one of their bestsellers and the lead single “, Fake Love” became the song of the moment. The song topped many charts around the world. With the rise in stardom, UNICEF joined hands with BTS and Big Hit Entertainment to launch the Love Yourself Campaign in 2018.

Following the path of success, BTS became the first K-pop group to perform on ‘Saturday Night Live. Their collaboration with Halsey in 2019 broke many records and became the fastest K-pop music video to get 750 million views on video streaming platforms.   

BTS seized the moment with their achievements and breaking records. In the following year, the group became the first act in history to remain on the Top 50 Billboards charts for 200 weeks. They also won numerous awards at American and British music shows. Furthermore, with their English single “Dynamite”, they became the first act in history to get 101.1 million views on video streaming platforms in merely24 hours. Their first-ever performance for the Grammys 2020 was in collaboration with Lil Nas X. 

With their release of another single, “Butter”, BTS became the first K-pop group to get the title of “Biggest Music Video Premiere” on social media. In 2021 and 2022, the act was also nominated for the Pop Duo/Group Performance. Their 2021 performance on a helicopter pad made headlines worldwide, but the 2022 Grammys performance took the world by storm.  

Big Hit Entertainment rebranded as Hybe Labels in 2021, accompanying many other music labels, such as Source Music, Big Hit Music, Belift Lab, Pledis Entertainment, ADOR, KOZ Entertainment, under the brand.  In 2022, Time Magazine listed its entertainment company, Hybe Entertainment, as one of the 100 Most Influential Companies. With their enormous success, Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS)  is now the biggest K-pop boy band. Their opulent mansions in South Korea are a testament to the same. 

What Is It Like To Live In A Dorm Together For BTS Members

BTS members are each other’s best friends and family. They have been living together for over nine years now. Even before their debut, the group has lived together since their training days in Big Hit Entertainment. Even after owning multiple properties in different corners of South Korea, this all-boys band still lives together happily. Their posh home in The Hills is a beautiful residential space for the billionaires of South Korea. Located in the Hannam district of Seoul, it is also known as UN Village. 

In their music video, Life Goes On, released in 2020, we can see how beautiful their cosy pad is. You can see the Han River from the spacious balcony. The minimalist design with light and bright colours is seen on the wall, making it a soothing space for the superstars.   

When they decided to show the beauty of their dorm, they made sure that their fans could get a glimpse of their lifestyle. The yellow lighting accompanying Jimin and J-hope’s bedroom concludes the fluorescent beauty.  

In Suga’s live session, you can also see the pretty decor and music pieces accustoming his room. The kitchen has monochromatic fittings, with a huge chandelier hanging in between the space. The beauty of the chandelier can be seen in the selfie posted by the members on their Twitter page.

However, you can get a little glimpse of what their abode looks like through pictures, videos, and live streams they upload on their social media platforms.

This district is one of the most preferred areas for the Korean Chaebols (conglomerates of the same family clan), such as the CEOs of Hyundai and Samsung, to name a few. Before owning this luxurious house, he lived in a small flat in the Samsung Joogang Station area in Seoul. It is also said that the singer-rapper bought this house without a loan.  

Just like fellow band member: Jin, he has also been active in philanthropy. He celebrated his 28th birthday by donating KRW100 million to children suffering from cancer. Jin’s significant financial contribution inspired his fans to take steps toward charity work.  

J-Hope’s Sunshine Stamp On Forest Trimage Pad

The sunshine of Armys, J-Hope- Legally known as Jung Hoseok, or the dancing machine, owns a KRW2.4 billion luxurious house in the complex of Forest Trimage, Seoul. The classy interiors compliment the beauty of the abode. Hoseok is keenly interested in real estate and his investments resonate as obvious proof. 

Accompanying J-Hope’s house, his donations for good deeds are commendable. He recently donated KRW100 million in 2022 for the children affected by poverty. His generous financial contribution will be used for education, care and upliftment of children’s future. 

Jimin’s Nine One Lavish Abode In Hannam

The complex is also home to other Korean artists and billionaires. The title deed of the house was transferred under his name on 26th May 2021. 

The café, Magnate, owned by Jimin’s father, is a must-visit destination for Armys in Busan. Upon entering through the doors of Magnate, be prepared to be taken away by its spectacular decor. The minimalist furniture is adorned by a regal chandelier. The café is a perfect amalgamation of exclusive pop and industrial designs.

Donating to good causes is a habit that BTS members swear by, and Jimin is not behind. On his birthday in 2021, he donated KRW100 million to support a campaign that creates vaccines to eradicate polio. The donations went to the Gasung Rotary Club in his hometown, Busan.  

Taehyung’s Gangnam Artistic Style Base

Making Armys go crazy with his raspy voice, Taehyung is also virtuous with his property choices. With his stage name V, the singer also owns a flat in a posh locality in Seoul. The singer is synonymous with luxury, comfort, and class, and his house is a shining example of that. His house defines the artistic value of Vante in his decor choices. Taehyung’s house is worth KRW7.5 billion. The palatial flat is located in the Hannam Hills area, surrounded by the Namsan Mountains and Han River. 

With his social media uploads, we get a sneak peek of his bathroom, spelling the golden words of luxury. But here, the abstract wall art caught our attention the most. The minimalist decor and a multicoloured theme make Taehyung’s house reflect a vibrant and positive atmosphere. 

Accessories such as fluorescent lamps, fan art and paintings created by him adorn the walls of his house. 

We cannot forget about his charitable endowments. He made donations for several causes, such as children living in poverty. Inspired by Tae’s contributions, his fanbase decided to contribute in their way. These fan donations helped in the construction of music schools and building shelters for the homeless.

Jungkook’s Seoul Forest Trimage Domicile

Moreover, Junkook’s house is a 2-floor affluent property for him and his family. The base area of his house is 230.72 square meters. Interestingly, Jungkook’s house is smaller than the BTS members’ house (dorm) in the Hannam Hills area. His dorm is a 5-minute drive away from his home. 

The maknae is in the footsteps of his hyungs (older brothers) and donated several million Korean Won for numerous causes. Out of respect and admiration, their worldwide fanbase has also made multiple contributions towards charitable deeds.

That’s How BTS Stays In Their Zone 

There is no doubt that the journey to the top has been challenging. But for BTS members, the support and love of Armys across the globe made them succeed in their musical endeavours. Their enormous success is the result of hard work, dedication, and willingness to spread love. Sporadically, BTS are also in the news, either for breaking records or winning new awards.
