BTS’s j-hope Unveils His ₩27 Billion Real Estate—First-Ever Home Tour

MBC’s Home Alone (I Live Alone) has once again made history, drawing an explosive response from viewers.

In the teaser for next week’s episode, BTS’s j-hope made a surprise appearance, announcing that he would be revealing his solo living experience for the first time in seven years.

The show’s highest viewership rating surged to 9.1%, while the key 20-49 demographic rating hit 4.6%, making it the most-watched program on Friday.

At the end of the February 21 broadcast, the teaser featuring j-hope was unveiled. He greeted viewers by saying, "Hello, I’m BTS’s j-hope, and I’ve been living alone for seven years." He then clapped his hands in an endearingly awkward manner, laughing as he said, "Finally!"

What caught viewers' attention, however, was the glimpse of his home in the background. The pristine white-toned living room, neatly arranged decor, and stylish furnishings immediately reflected j-hope’s meticulous personality. Framed photos, a luxurious sofa, and elegant details highlighted his sophisticated interior design taste, showcasing a true luxury home.

It has been reported that j-hope owns four apartment units in Seoul—two penthouses in Yongsan’s Apelbaum Han River complex and two units in Seongsu-dong’s Trimage residence. The high-floor units in Apelbaum Han River are valued at around ₩10 billion each. His total real estate holdings are estimated at ₩27 billion, all purchased without loans.

With his much-anticipated house reveal and a peek into his daily life, viewers are already buzzing with excitement.

As soon as the teaser dropped, netizens reacted with comments such as:

“j-hope’s house is so clean… His interior design taste is amazing.”

“Kian84 has been dying to meet him—now it’s finally happening!”

“A real estate portfolio worth ₩27 billion? BTS is on another level.”

“I’m so curious to see how he actually lives in that house.”

“I wonder if his solo living style is as relatable as ours.”
