• BTS’s Suga Moves Out of Luxury Villa in UN Village, Kiturami Group’s Founder to Purchase It for 17 Billion KRW

    BTS member Suga has moved out of his luxury villa in the UN Village, Hannam-dong, Seoul, where he had been living on a jeonse lease. The villa is now set to be purchased by Choi Jin Man, the founder of Kiturami Group.

    According to a report by Bizhankook on November 27th, Choi Jin Man and his wife, Kim Mi Hye, the former chairwoman of the Kiturami Welfare Foundation, have made plans to buy the villa.

    The couple signed a purchase contract with the development company IBC&C on October 22 for 17 billion KRW. They have already applied for a provisional registration of ownership transfer at the court before completing the payment.

    The villa, located in Yongsan-gu’s exclusive UN Village, was the place Suga called home until recently. Before this, Suga had purchased another luxury villa in the same neighborhood in 2018 for 3.4 billion KRW but moved out in 2021 due to conflicts with neighbors.

    He then relocated to Park Hannam, where the jeonse deposit was reportedly 9.5 billion KRW, with BigHit Music covering the deposit. Suga lived there until May this year, when he moved to his current residence at Nine One Hannam.

    In other news, Suga made headlines earlier this year for an incident on August 6, when he fell off an electric scooter in Hannam-dong.

    Police found him alone, and a breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.227%. As a result, Suga was fined 15 million KRW for drunk driving.

    Suga, who began his military service as a social service agent in March, is expected to be discharged in June next year.
