As the Korean craze sweeps over the nation, it's no longer surprising that many K-pop stans would dream of being like their idols, from the food they eat to the clothes they wear. While it may be easy to support them through buying their merch and going to their concerts, one of the most elusive pieces of information is where they stay. Here are some of the well-known K-pop idols and their homes:
1. TWICE
The nine-member group TWICE lives in a two-story apartment that comes with its own styling salon located in the basement. It has a living room that can comfortably accommodate the members when they try to meet together for their bonding sessions, especially when they do live broadcasts. The apartment comes with five bedrooms with about two to three members in each and six bathrooms.
For an average family, it may seem that having six bathrooms would be enough. Not in the case of TWICE, as Chaeyoung revealed that one of the biggest challenges of living in a dorm is when they have to shower since they have to take turns. Still, this magnanimous villa in Cheongdam cost around $1.7 million U.S.
2. BLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is one of the most successful all-female groups, with Forbes Korea Power Celebrity naming the group as among the most powerful and influential idols in the country for three consecutive years since 2019. Their popularity has not only spanned Korea but also in various countries, such as Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
Given their status, it's pretty expected that these girls would live a luxurious life. They are often seen sporting luxurious apparel by big-name brands, but they also live a comfortable life in their spacious apartment.
Unlike TWICE members who have to share rooms, BLACKPINK stars get to have their own rooms that come with a patio! Considering their work day in and day out, they deserve to treat themselves with a night of restful sleep at night in their personal sanctuary.
According to a recent estimate, the BLACKPINK House in the Mapo District can cost roughly $1.7 million U.S.
3. WINNER
Another idol group that has consistently topped the charts is the five-member group WINNER, and their name perfectly describes the group's spacious apartment. It comes with a grand open floor plan, as seen on SBS' and MBC's We Will Channel You and The Manager, respectively.
4. BtoB
As revealed in an SBS Master House episode, members of BtoB occupy an expansive space in Sungsoo. According to reports, the pricey apartment covers 1,993 square feet of area and costs about $1.5 million U.S.
5. BTS
Perhaps the most successful of all K-pop idols of today, BTS has even made huge waves beyond South Korea, even conquering the U.S. According to Rolling Stone, a new Twitter survey showed that the Korean idols have been and continue to be the most-tweeted musicians in the U.S. for four consecutive years, beating Beyonce, Kanye West, and Drake for having the most social Twitter mentions.
Still, the group's move to the Hannam Hills neighborhood shocked many fans as the dorm reportedly costs more than $5.2 million U.S. With that insane amount, BTS members can enjoy their own swimming pool, sauna, gym, study room, cafe, guest house, and even their screen golf arena. The monthly rent estimate of the apartment is said to be about $14,000 to $18,000 U.S.
The widely popular K-pop group shares the address with many wealthy businessmen and celebrities, such as PSY, Han Hyo Joo, Park Hyo Shin, and Ahn Sung Ki, to name a few.
With all the hard work they do, these idols deserve to like the best days of their lives away from the camera when they go home to their luxurious abodes.
