Actor Kim Woo Bin Purchases The Old BigHit Building — ARMYs Are Very Concerned

Even back in 2022, the members were spotted in Nonhyeong-dong, near the old BigHit building, which was for an episode of Run BTS.
Even today, ARMYs travel and leave messages at the building.
While the building has always been a huge part of ARMYs’ lives, it has come back in the spotlight because of actor Kim Woo Bin.
On June 25, it was reported that Kim Woo Bin had bought the old Big Hit Music building. Shortly after the news was reported, his agency AM Entertainment confirmed the news, adding, “It is true that Kim Woo Bin purchased the building,” with sources adding it cost ₩13.7 billion KRW (about $9.89 million USD).
When the news spread, it wasn’t surprising that ARMYs got extremely nostalgic. Even though BTS has been in the new HYBE building for a number of years, it holds so many memories and is a must-see place for any fans visiting Korea.

ARMYs were also unsurprisingly concerned. Many worry that the sale of the building could lead to a renovation of the location, including removing all the words and messages that have been built up over the years.

Netizens tried to think positively, believing that Kim Woo Bin was making an investment, and hopefully understood the significance of the building to millions of fans worldwide, meaning he wouldn’t make any changes.
I dont think its smth to stress abt btw.
Most likely he bought it for investment. Im sure he knows ARMYs will keep writing on his building 😁 https://t.co/MKUgTZ1Pnq

Many hope that the location will retain the memories and are shocked that HYBE didn’t purchase the building.
