Keep reading to know everything about Jin’s portfolio – his net worth, solo projects, brand deals, and the most expensive things he owns.
What is the net worth of BTS’ Jin?
According to a report in South China Morning Post, Jin’s net worth was around USD 20 million as of 2021. Considering the rise in Jin’s solo activities following BTS’ group hiatus, this figure has surely increased in recent times (according to Celebrity Net Worth, Jin’s estimated net worth as of June 2023 is USD 30 million).
Jin’s solo music: The Astronaut, Awake, Epiphany and more
The BTS vocalist has released some incredible solo songs within and outside the band. Jin’s solo tracks Awake, Epiphany, and Moon have been released as a part of BTS’ albums like Wings, Love Yourself: Answer and Map Of The Soul, respectively, cementing his credibility as a soloist. All the tracks bagged impressive positions on the Gaon Digital Chart.
Later, he collaborated with other BTS members, including V and Suga, on tracks such as It’s Definitely You and So Far Away. Not only this, Jin’s solo covers of Mate’s I Love You, Ra.D’s Mom as well as In Front Of The Post Office In Autumn by Yoon Do-hyun have all been loved by fans.
Jin’s first independent song, Tonight, was released in 2019 as a part of BTS’ sixth-anniversary celebrations. It was followed by releasing his second solo, Abyss, in 2020 and the third one, Super Tuna, in 2021. Interestingly, all these three songs simultaneously bagged the top three spots on the World Digital Song Sales chart in 2022, making Jin the third soloist in the chart’s history to accomplish the feat.
While all these ventures were largely successful, Jin’s debut solo single The Astronaut changed the game for him. Before starting mandatory military service, Jin released his chart-breaking track, which he co-wrote with Coldplay. Astronaut earned the artist his first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100 at 51 and another number-one position on the World chart.
Besides his musical outings, Jin has hosted several Korean music award shows, including Music Bank and Inkigayo. Lastly, he has several songwriting credits with BTS as well.
His brand collaborations
With Jungkook, V, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin and RM, having climbed the luxury bandwagon with lucrative brand deals, all eyes are on Jin.
While Jin is yet to sign a luxury ambassadorship deal, he currently serves as the face of Ottogi’s Jin Ramen. According to a report in Sportskeeda, the noodle brand’s revenue jumped 15 per cent from 2021 to 2022 owing to Jin’s association. In the last quarter of 2022 (when Jin was appointed), Ottogi’s Jin Ramen witnessed a whopping USD 630 million in sales. We’re sure the ‘Jin effect’ reaped great benefits for the brand.
Meanwhile, speculations are rife that the BTS member will be tapped in as the brand ambassador of Cartier. The rumours have also gathered momentum considering Jin’s earlier appearances in Cartier’s exquisite timepieces. While there’s no confirmation about the deal, we’re rooting for Jin x Cartier to come to fruition soon!

The BTS member’s swanky car collection including Porsche and Lamborghini
Jin is surely an automobile enthusiast, with multiple reports suggesting he owns two stunning sports cars. These include the Porsche Panamera GTS and Lamborghini Aventador S. He also has a gorgeous Mini Countryman in his garage.
Porsche Panamera GTS: One of the best-performing Porsche models, the Panamera GTS is sleek, fast and offers a great driving experience. The car, which Jin was spotted driving back in 2017, reportedly came at a price tag of USD 190,000.
Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster: The beast-like Aventador is sure to give you all those adrenaline-boosting thrills. With its luxe interiors and aggressive yet fine exteriors, the shark-like model costs around USD 460,000.
Mini Countryman: The four-door crossover is another interesting automobile Jin owns. The urban crossover isn’t just high on style, but equally practical and fun to drive. At 4.3m long, the ‘mini’ Countryman isn’t all that small and boasts great space. It’s priced at around USD 30,000.
Jin’s plush property in Seoul
The BTS members don’t shy away from splurging on luxurious properties, most of which are in Seoul. Jin, too owns a luxury apartment in Hannam The Hill, one of the plushest localities in Seoul. As per South China Morning Post, Jin purchased a flat worth USD 3.4 million here as a gift to his parents. Other reports suggest that the musician bought himself another flat in the same complex.
For those unversed, all seven BTS members lived together in Hannam The Hill from 2017 to 2021. Even the music video for their track Life Goes On was shot here. Situated at one of the prime locations, Hannam The Hill gives sprawling views of the Han River and Mount Namsan, and you’ll find a lot of tourists gathered here. Apart from BTS, other notable celebrities like Lee Seung Chul, Han Hyo Joo, and Choo Ja Hyun are known to live here.
Jin and his brother’s Japanese restaurant
A part of Jin’s net worth also arises from his entrepreneurial ventures. Jin is the only BTS member to have tapped into business with the launch of the Japanese-styled restaurant, ‘Ossu Seiromushi’. Operated by Jin and his brother, the restaurant has two outlets, one next to Seokchon Lake and the second next to Lotte World.
Always brimming with customers (thanks to Jin’s massive stardom), the outlets offer a range of impeccable traditional Japanese cuisine. Served in wooden steamers, complete seiro-mushi style, the dishes will satiate your taste buds like no other.
