BTS’ net worths, ranked – which member is the richest?
Property in Itaewon
In November 2020, it was reported that Jungkook dropped US$7 million on a two-storey house in Itaewon. According to K-pop news website Koreaboo, quoting a report from Etoday, the house spans 2,483 square feet.
Koreaboo also noted the affluence of Itaewon, adding that the area is home to well-known celebrities, including power couple Rain and Kim Tae-hee. The house is near Nine One Hannam, where fellow BTS members Jimin and RM have luxury flats, and The Hill, where the group still share a flat as a “dorm”.A Benz for his folks
Jungkook likes to give back, especially to his parents. In 2018, he gifted his mum and dad a Mercedes-Benz, though he has never spoken about the gift. According to Lifestyle Asia, Jungkook also has a Merc, driving an AMG GT 63 S four-door. Car site reviewer Carbuzz estimates that the model’s starting price is US$161,900.

Random and questionable items
Like many click-happy internet users, Jungkook seems to be the type of person who’d buy random products after seeing them heavily advertised on search engines and websites. According to AllKpop, he bought an English learning tool advertised on Naver, WBSkin trainers, Wangta toothbrushes, a nano filter nose mask, frozen sugar canes and a conical Asian hat. But weirdest of all, he bought bandmate Suga’s old, used trousers that do not even fit him. Nope, we can’t figure that one out, either.
