After a decade in the entertainment industry, BTS has gone from absolute zero to becoming the richest and most successful boy group in the world. And naturally, their annual income has grown proportionally to their skyrocketing fame.

Forbes recorded BTS generating an annual revenue of 170 million USD at their peak, including music, merchandise, endorsements, and digital content. Meanwhile, each member is said to earn around 10–15 million USD per year after taxes and expenses. Their income varies depending on touring schedules, endorsement deals, and solo activities. That’s not even counting the fact that in recent years, the members have spent large amounts investing in real estate and various personal business ventures.

BTS’s αѕѕets, appearance fees, and income are undeniably mαѕѕive at this point, which only fuels the public’s fascination. Although the members tend to be very private about their net worth or earnings, fans have been able to estimate just how wealthy these young superstars are through countless small details gathered over time.

Recently, Jimin became the next member to show off his “young & rich” status when he α¢¢ι∂єитally revealed two of his powerful cards while promoting Are You Sure pt.2 on Vogue נαραи’s “In The Bag.” During the segment, the youthful duo of BTS were asked to show items they always carry in their bags. Right from the beginning, they stunned viewers with the electronic keys to their Porsche supercars.

However, what made fans scream even louder was when Jimin pulled out his card holder. ARMYs immediately spotted two identifiable cards — one was the Hyundai “The Black Card 3,” and the other was the Nine One Resident Card. The luxury apartment resident card came as no surprise, as most fans already knew he bought the property early in 2021. However, this was the first time fans had ever seen Jimin’s Hyundai Black Card.

This black card is one of the four most expensive Black Cards currently available and is reserved for only the top 0.05% of income earners in the country. Basic requirements include spending at least 8,347 USD per month and holding a minimum of 8,347,175 USD in αѕѕets.

It is known that “The Black” can only be issued through an invitation from the operator. Moreover, to obtain the card, the applicant must receive approval from eight people, including the vice president of the company. Each year, cardholders must pay an annual membership fee of 2 million won (1,500 USD).

In short, this is a card reserved for individuals who possess all three key qualities: “super wealthy – super famous – super powerful,” and only about 1,000 people in кσяєα currently qualify.

On the other hand, before Jimin, at least three other BTS members had already been seen with the powerful black card. This has led fans to speculate that perhaps not just four, but all seven members of BTS may be among the 1,000 people in the top 0.05%.

Back in 2020, during a birthday celebration for SUGA, ARMYs noticed that the card Jin pulled out to pay for a meal worth 878,000 won (650 USD) was none other than “The Black.” This means that even five years ago — or earlier — the members were already qualified to own this ultra-exclusive card reserved for the super rich and powerful.

Another piece of supporting evidence came in 2020, when Jungkook tried to use his own Black Card to buy a snack from a vending machine — and failed. A staff member eventually lent him some cash so he could get his favorite snack. It seems that even having a Black Card and being wealthy doesn’t necessarily make every situation easier! But let’s be honest — most people would love to face that kind of “problem.”

Meanwhile, in another instance in November 2021, V “generously” showed fans a close-up of his Black Card because it had the number “0613” engraved on it. He deleted the photo shortly after for privacy reasons, but he explained why he shared it: “Just in case… very carefully, anyways 0613 we were meant to be, the end.” BTS’s debut date is June 13 — a number full of destiny and meaning for the group.

Considering BTS and Hyundai have collaborated for many years, fans also speculated that the members’ Black Cards may have been issued during that period. They also don’t rule out the possibility that Hyundai created special Black Cards engraved with “0613” exclusively for BTS.

From million-dollar apartments and luxury supercars to owning the most prestigious black cards in кσяєα — all of it reflects the group’s immense wealth, influence, and power, which have surpαѕѕed imagination. However, everything they have today is well-deserved after more than a decade of effort, talent, and unwavering dedication. Fans are simply happy that BTS is now living the dream after so many years of hard work.
