BTS's Jungkook Is Reportedly Building A Mansion In A Luxurious Neighborhood In Seoul

According to an exclusive report by Biz Hankook on April 4, BTS maknae Jungkook is building a five-story mansion in one of the poshest areas in Seoul.

In early 2021, news outlets reported that Jungkook had purchased a ₩7.63 billion KRW (about $5.83 million USD) house in Itaewon Hill, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Seoul. The two-storied building was a red-brick detached house built in 1976. After the BTS member purchased the property in December 2020, it took him more than two years to get a construction permit at the site from the Yongsan-gu office in July 2022.
