Jin Becomes The Most Successful Investor In BTS Thanks To A 50 Billion KRW Investment In RM 3 Years Ago

Among the BTS members, j-hope is famously known for his “Midas touch” when it comes to real estate investments. He has earned significant profits from buying and selling luxury apartments and currently owns three properties with a total value of 27 billion KRW (approximately 19.4 million USD).

Meanwhile, although he does not possess as many real estate αѕѕets as j-hope, Jin is also a successful entrepreneur and investor across multiple fields. He is one of the two founders of the נαραиese-style restaurant Ossu Seiromushi and owns a traditional кσяєαn liquor brand called IGIN.

Moreover, Jin’s prestigious black card and an estimated net worth ranging from 45 million USD to 55 million USD (as of 2025)—derived from various sources—clearly reflect his business acumen and strategic vision.

There is no doubt: he is truly a high-clαѕѕ investor! This is precisely why he became the most successful investor in the “BTS Investor Club”, having invested 50 billion KRW in RM’s project three years ago, which has now come to fruition.

This legendary investment originated from a Weverse post titled “BTS Investor's Club.” In it, the members were surveyed on how they would invest 77.7 billion KRW if they had it, and which projects of the BTS members they would choose.

Although the survey was intended as a fun and spontaneous exercise, Jin carefully considered his decision. He chose to invest nearly two-thirds of his funds - about 50 billion KRW (into RM’s business venture: an art museum. Jin explained that the reason he decided to invest the maximum amount possible was because the value of art increases over time.

Exactly right! While art may not generate immediate profits like other sectors, its value remains high and can even be priceless in many respects.

What’s even more significant is that, among the hypothetical business projects of the BTS members, RM is the one who actually succeeded in turning his idea into reality. Recently, RM became the first K-pop artist to collaborate with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), opening a solo exhibition in October 2026, running through early 2027.

Three years ago, BTS members seemed less enthusiastic about investing large sums into RM’s project. j-hope and Jungkook divided their investments evenly, so their 11 million KRW investment in RM’s museum was considered roughly equivalent in interest to other projects.

SUGA and Jimin decided to invest 20 million KRW but were hesitant about spending large amounts on art pieces. Meanwhile, V invested 30 million KRW, largely as a personal preference. Only Jin contributed the largest sum and made a remarkably accurate judgment.

The debut of RM’s solo exhibition, featuring over 200 works of art, serves as a “guarantee” of Jin’s smart investment three years ago—even though, in reality, the investment was hypothetical and no actual money was spent on the exhibition.

Another notable detail is that Jin refused to invest even 1 KRW in SUGA’s hip-hop label or j-hope’s men’s fashion brand, reasoning that the music industry was still limited and men generally did not wear j-hope-style clothing.

Looking at Jin’s investment chart, it is clear that he is a bold and intelligent investor. He not only αѕѕesses potential but also evaluates customer demand and market trends for each business category to allocate his funds wisely.

Fans couldn’t help but laugh and praise the business acumen of BTS’s eldest member:
