SEVENTEEN Hoshi Makes Headlines With Over 3 Million USD Gangnam Property Purchase: 'Is That Even Worth The Money?'

Hoshi, a prominent member of the global group SEVENTEEN, has made headlines with his purchase of a luxurious residence in the upscale Nonhyeon-dong neighborhood of Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

According to SPOTV News, Hoshi acquired the high-end property Brighten N40 for a staggering 5.1 billion won (approx. 3.6 million USD), paying the entire amount in cash.

Designed by the illustrious French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the Brighten N40 building boasts not only exquisite architectural design but also meticulous landscaping that ensures privacy for its residents.

Wilmotte, renowned for his work on the Louis Vuitton headquarters, has infused the building with a blend of modern elegance and functional privacy, making it a coveted residence among celebrities and high-net-worth individuals.

The 149㎡ unit was purchased by Hoshi on April 12 last year, with the registration completed on July 28. The transaction, notable for its full cash payment, reflects Hoshi's financial success and stable economic standing.

This purchase follows closely on the heels of another high-profile acquisition in the same building by Yoo Jae Suk, a beloved South Korean television personality.

Yoo's purchase, amounting to approximately 8.7 billion won (6.4 million USD) in cash, marked the end of his 15-year rental period and underscored the desirability of the Brighten N40 residence among Korea's elite. Hoshi, born in 1996, has seen a meteoric rise to fame since debuting with SEVENTEEN.

Known for his dynamic performance skills and charismatic stage presence, he has helped the group achieve significant popularity both in South Korea and internationally.

The news of Hoshi's real estate investment is a testament to the lucrative careers that K-pop idols can enjoy. With the increasing international reach of K-pop, artists like Hoshi are not only cultural icons but also significant economic players.

The ability to purchase such high-value properties outright demonstrates the substantial earnings and financial acumen that some of these stars possess.

As SEVENTEEN continues to dominate the music charts and expand their international tours, Hoshi's latest acquisition is likely to be seen as both a personal milestone and a symbol of the prosperity that successful K-pop careers can bring.
