For some members of BTS, the music production studio is like their second home as many people spend almost 12 hours a day or more working here. Therefore, after the members' expensive apartments, the songwriting studio is one of the things that makes ARMYs most curious.
Over the years, through a few live broadcasts or some photos shared by the members, some perspectives on the members' studios can be seen. But only RM, SUGA, j-hope and Jungkook are the members who actually have their own studio in HYBE headquarters because they need space to make music and other things.
Furthermore, each member has different equipment and decorations in their studio. Do you wonder how much the members paid to decorate the studio? Here is the answer for you!
ARMYs are no longer strangers to the music studios of the rapper line of BTS because they often use the studio's setting to conduct live broadcasts. Since BTS just debuted, RM, SUGA, and j-hope have prepared their own music studios to facilitate song production for the group.
For a long time, RM is famous for owning Rkive studio, SUGA owns Genius Lab, j-hope owns Hope World. Meanwhile, a new member who owns his own studio in recent years is Jungkook, he owns Golden Closet Studio.
BTS's studio is the main space for the members to work, so they focus on the equipment used in the room rather than the decoration. It was years ago when the studio space was quite narrow.
However, until the year HYBE moved to the new headquarters in Yongsan and owned a larger space, the BTS members also had studios that could meet the needs of both work and rest. Since then, they also started to decorate their studio with more objects. And really looking at the layout of the members' studio, you can see that it clearly reflects each person's style.
Through some of the images revealed by the previous members, the studio's style and values can be seen. Moreover, in an Mnet entertainment program, the show's commentators also evaluated the interior value of the studios of idols, including members of BTS.
The first room considered was RM's Rkive studio. He also received first place in the "Most Expensive Furniture" category. RM is praised for his extremely high taste and Rkive is also known as "a little art museum".
RM's studio features warm wood tones to showcase his great taste. In addition, the tea table and stools, decorations and floor lamps are all the work of the Nakashima family - one of the brands that produce traditional and high-end furniture. The show's MC said these items have "unmeasurable" prices.
Not only that, but in RM's office there is also a work by the late artist Yun Hyeong-geun, a master of monochrome painting, and the estimated price is about 164 million KRW. Additionally, sculptor Kwon Jin-gyu's horse is estimated at 300 million KRW, modern master Kim Whan-gi's artwork is estimated at 195 million KRW, and Moon Jar by ceramicist Kwon Dae- seop estimated at 58 million KRW.
Along with that, the appearance of the works 'Disappearing Homeland' and 'Disappearing Landscapes' by artist Jeong Young-joo are worth about 50 million KRW and about 68 million KRW, respectively. In total, RM's studio is estimated to be worth more than 1.2 billion KRW just for the artwork.
This is just the amount when taking into account RM's studio furniture and artwork. In addition, RM also owns many expensive Kaws model sets and some other expensive decorations and music production equipment.
Meanwhile, the other members' studios are also considered to create their own styles and have their own values. SUGA's Genius Lab is considered to be a room serving his maximum capacity when containing most of the music-making equipment.
It really feels like a music producer and the decor is minimal as well. It only consists of a brown sofa set and a few dark shelves for storage.
SUGA seems to focus on optimal design and arrange everything in its place to create the neatest feeling. He doesn't have any art on the walls, which gives you the feeling that for him, the studio is the place to work. But undeniably, just his musical instruments are equally expensive.
Next up, j-hope's studio "Hope World" is said to show off his personality. It is colorful and cozy decorated with red walls. Studio feels as playful and comfortable as the owner himself.
The most expensive decorations in j-hope's studio are large Kaws figurines and other models. j-hope does not use wooden or ceramic decorations like RM but uses a large sofa like SUGA and a few wooden shelves.
In the leaked photos, j-hope's production equipment is comparable to RM's and not as much as SUGA's. But with such colorful decor, perhaps it helps to inspire much of j-hope in his excellent music albums, reflecting exactly who he is.
It is really an impressive room because the atmosphere creates joy and excitement!
Finally, the youngest and most minimalist studio among BTS members' studios is Jungkook's Golden Closet Studio. This room seems to be the most minimalistic and monochromatic, more than SUGA's office.
It's like Jungkook's personality or even a copy of his apartment. The studio is filled with black bringing a feeling of coziness and tranquility. Most of the furniture in the room is music-making equipment. Also he doesn't add any sofa or decorations to it. It was officially seen once time when Jimin used it for his birthday.
Jungkook also shared that he likes to decorate his studio with lights and computer screens. That's probably why he keeps his room very delicate and includes only the essentials for his music-making process.
Although it has been a while since Jungkook appeared at his studio, perhaps soon, Golden Closet Studio will be the place to produce Jungkook's solo album!
