Inside BTS's V's New Penthouse In Seoul
During the video, V was sitting on his chair and casually said, "It's my new house," in English. He did not stop there but took his fans on a short tour showing his plant, artworks installed in the house, and a few other random bits.
Kim Tae-hyung stood up and walked out of the room where he first started the live session. Painted in a green hue, the room appeared to be his den - a well-lit room with ample space for him to work on the computer. It also featured a glass shelf displaying his collection of cartoon miniatures.

The first thing he showed was a painting of a kid holding the hand of a white dog with red flowers in the backdrop. "There's a piece that I like," he confessed.
He went into the common area, where he showed off a plant he had been growing. Beside the tree was a shelf that displayed a soft toy and books or records. The focus was not on the shelves, so it is hard to tell what was on them.
"It's hard to reveal the house, I wanted to show you one by one," V said in Korean. He then showed a red-hued wall on which a painting of a bear eating ice cream was hanging. He said, "There is one more painting that I like." Right in front of the painting was a chessboard with pieces set neatly on it.
He showcased another artefact in another corner of the common area.
BTS's V's Rs 90 Crore House
According to Sports Chosun, V bought a penthouse for 14.2 billion won (Rs 89.8 crore) in May 2025, a month before he concluded his military service. The penthouse is a 273.96 m sq space in Cheongdam-dong, an ultra-luxurious residential complex.
His neighbours reportedly include celebrities like Ko So-young, Jang Dong-gun, and Hyun Woo-jin. The BTS vocalist did not take any loans to purchase this house. He paid the whole amount in cash.
The publication reported that this is not Kim Tae-hyung's first luxury home. He bought an apartment in 2018 as well.
