Completed in August 2020, this apartment is

A private residential space with only 29 units.

The most notable feature is that all units are designed with a duplex structure.

The unit V purchased has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a ceiling height of a whopping 7 meters (approximately 23 feet)!

Lives nearby,

Raising fans' expectations for private meetings and parties!

A Stage for the 'Return of the Emperor'

V's Cash Investment Strategy

V already owns a luxury house in Yongsan-gu.

This PH129 purchase is interpreted not as a simple relocation,

But as an asset diversification and securing a future vision.

Why Cheongdam-dong's ultra-expensive housing?

As of September 28th, ultra-expensive apartments in Gangnam are

Considered safe assets that guarantee stable value appreciation.

Especially rare complexes like PH129 continue to command a premium.

Meaning of V's Cash Investment

• Interest Expense Savings: No interest burden of hundreds of millions of won since there is no loan.

• Securing Asset Stability: Top-class tangible assets less affected by financial market fluctuations.

• Quick Transaction Completion: Swift acquisition of ownership with cash transactions without complicated procedures.

Moreover, the timing of his upcoming discharge makes it even more meaningful.

He has secured the optimal private space in advance of his solo activities and BTS's full comeback.

Seeing this, I think V is truly a young and rich person who doesn't miss out on work, investment, or self-care.
