BTS’ V’s luxurious lifestyle & wealth: A look at Kim Taehyung’s Rs 342 crore net worth, an opulent apartment in Seoul worth Rs 39 crore and other uber-expensive possessions

BTS’ V — who is currently enlisted in the military — turned 29 today, i.e. December 30, 2024. ARMY (BTS’ fandom name) from across the globe have been celebrating the maknae’s special day on social media. The talented musician, whose real name is Kim Taehyung, isn’t just an integral member of BTS but has also exhibited his prowess as a soloist.

For the unversed, BTS is arguably the biggest K-pop band of this generation comprising seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Given BTS’ mandatory military service requirements, the band is currently on hiatus with plans to make a hotly anticipated comeback after all the members have been discharged post-June 2025.

Like the rest of BTS, V also deep-dived into a successful solo career. Taehyung released Layover, his debut solo album, on September 8, 2023. Layover was an instant chart-topping hit as it even peaked at No. 2 on Billboard 200. Given BTS’ dominance over the music scene and his own global appeal, V has amassed significant wealth over the years and is the richest BTS member right now.
