J-Hope reportedly had purchased the apartment in July 2016 for a whopping 4 billion KRW. All the members of BTS are known to have lavish houses in South Korea. And J-Hope, aka Jung Hoseok, is no exception. The rapper and dancer, who owns four properties in Seoul, has now sold one of his luxury apartments at the famous Seoul Forest Trimage in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. Reportedly, he bought that place in July 2016 for about 4 billion KRW. According to a report by Wow TV Korea, the 31-year-old sold the apartment earlier this year after owning it for nearly nine years. He made a big profit of around 2.7 billion KRW. Even after paying 1 billion KRW in taxes, J-Hope managed to earn a profit of 1.65 billion KRW from the sale of the property. What Are The Other Luxurious Properties Owned By J-Hope? J-Hope loves luxury items like watches, bags and jewellery. But his real estate investments are a big part of his wealth. Besides the one that J-Hope has sold now, he also owns a 152 square meter apartment in the same Forest Trimage complex. He reportedly purchased the place in 2018 for 3.7 billion KRW. Expanding his investment in real estate, the BTS star purchased two opulent apartments in the Aper Hangang complex last year. He reportedly bought a penthouse with an area of 273.86 square meters, along with three rooms and four bathrooms, for 12 billion KRW in cash. Later, he purchased another unit right below it for a whopping 10 billion KRW. It has a floor area of 232.86 square meters and comes with three bedrooms and three bathrooms on a single floor. The total value of properties owned by J-Hope stands at 27 billion KRW. Interestingly, he bought all the apartments in cash, without taking any loans. What's Next For J-Hope? The BTS member, who got discharged from the military in October last year, released three back-to-back singles this year. Starting with the release of Sweet Dreams in March, feat. Miguel, followed by Mona Lisa just days later, and concluding the releases with Killin' It Girl feat. GloRilla on June 13. He was also on his first worldwide concert tour titled Hope on the Stage from February to June. Currently, J-Hope has reunited with his groupmates in Los Angeles, where they are preparing for their comeback album, which is slated to be released sometime in the first half of 2026. view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 08:09 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

BTS is back: New album and world tour coming in 2026
After a three-year hiatus marked by military service and solo ventures, global K-pop phenomenon BTS plans to reunite with a new album and world tour next spring that will likely bring the band back to the Bay Area. All seven members — Jin, RM, V, Jimin, J-Hope, Jungkook and Suga — appeared together for the first time since 2022 in a livestream on Tuesday, July 1, on the fan platform Weverse to reveal their long-awaited return. 'Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music,' the band said in a statement. 'Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas. We're approaching the album with the same mindset we had when we first started.' The announcement also noted a global tour, their first since 2021's 'Permission to Dance On Stage' concerts. BTS plans to start work in the U.S. this month, according to a statement from Hybe, the group's management company. The comeback follows the completion of South Korea's mandatory military service by all members. Jin was the first to enlist in December 2022 and the first to be discharged in June 2024. J-Hope enlisted in April 2023 and was discharged in October 2024. Suga began his service in September 2023, while RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook all enlisted December 2023. All four returned this past spring. In South Korea, all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18 to 21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. J-Hope, who last performed in the Bay Area in 2018, returned to Oakland Arena this spring for his solo 'Hope on the Stage' tour. BTS's forthcoming release will mark the first group album since 2020's 'Be.' Fans can expect a preview of what's to come with the live album 'BTS Permission to Dance on Stage — Seoul,' set for release July 18.
