We all have a dream that if I have money, I will increase my welfare, live a grade, and give my parents all kinds of gifts to make them proud of themselves. Yes, this is the dream we once had as a young man, but reality often runs counter to the dreams of many people. Life is full of helplessness, we can only continue to work hard to strive for a better tomorrow.
However, such dreams are within reach of those who have become famous. As the world's leading supergroup BTS, from the previous obscurity to the current fame, they have experienced a lot, but they have finally succeeded. So what gifts will they give to their parents after success? Of course, there are some gifts that we can't wait for.
What gifts do members of the Bulletproof Youth League give to their parents?
There is no doubt that the Bulletproof Youth League knows how to splurge, but they not only use the money they earn to treat themselves well, but also pay for the people they love, including their parents, of course.
So what is the relationship between these boys and their parents? What gifts have they given over the years to express their love and gratitude? Here are some of the most memorable... All 7 members sent money-related gifts, and he was the only one who sent a song!
Jungkook is the band's busy inner (Korean transliteration, meaning youngest member), but he picks out great gifts for his parents. According to South Korean media reports, Jungkook bought a Mercedes-Benz for his parents in 2018.
Although Jungkook himself never talked about gifts, fans believe that since he has his own black Mercedes (he crouches next to them in the photo), he can buy one for his parents as well, and for him today, a car is basically a fraction of his assets.
J-Hope is considered a good son, and he often expresses his love to his family – he even describes this in his solo song "Mama". On Mother's Day 2020, a post by his sister Jung Ji-woo caught the attention of fans — a photo of a flower box filled with 1 million won (5,726 yuan) in cash.
She wrote in the photo: "This is a special gift from 'Son' to parents" – "Son" is her nickname for J-Hope.
BTS has an impressive real estate portfolio, but some properties are not invested in for themselves.
In April 2020, just before Mother's Day, Jin handed over full ownership of a $3.4 million condominium in Hannam The Hill to his parents, one of the most expensive properties in South Korea, GMA Network reported. In October 2019, he bought the property in his own name and his parents, and less than a year later, he transferred 35% of his ownership to them.
Hannam The Hill is home to many celebrities, including singer Lee Seung-chul, actor Han Hyo-joo and Cho Choi Hyun.
Fans of BTS are familiar with V's intimate relationship with his father. He once called his father "his role model" in a live videocast.
On KBS's 2021 special talk show Let's BTS, when asked by the host about what sweet things BTS members did for their parents, V replied that he had recently given them a lot of 50,000 won (about 286 yuan) bills. But in 2019, he gave his father a sweeter gift and wrote a song for him.
In January, he spoke about the song on a V-live show with Jungkook, saying he was so excited about his gift that he couldn't wait for Parents' Day on May 8, so he gave it to his father a little earlier. V called the gift a success. Because the lyrics of this song had a huge impact on V's father, he was moved to tears.
On the same show, RM revealed that he let his parents use his credit cards — perhaps not as characteristic as a song, but the nearly unlimited money was really handy for their parents.
How much wealth does BTS have?
Last time, in fact, we also said that the wealth of BTS has reached hundreds of millions, and each member is relatively average, so this time we will not say anything else, let's talk about their stock! They are now shareholders in HYBE, so their wealth includes not only their various assets, but also the market capitalization of the stock.
Over a period of about 10 months, the value of shares received by members of the South Korean boy band Bulletproof Youth League snowballed to nearly 150 billion won (890 million yuan).
The gift was a 478,695 shares of common stock given by BTS's brokerage firm HYBE, distributed equally among 7 members. Currently, the South Korean stock market is valued at 149.8 billion won, and HYBE's stock price hit a record high for five consecutive trading days before Friday.
This means that members RM, Jin, Suga, J-hope, V, Jimin and Jungkook each amassed wealth worth 21.4 billion won (about 120 million yuan) in stocks. The 68,385 shares in their pockets represent 0.18 percent of the company's voting power.
According to estimates by market tracker FnGuide, all 7 members of South Korea's list of the richest people under the age of 30 rank at 43rd. Their valuation is up 2.3 times from HYBE's October 2020 initial public offering.
On Friday, HYBE shares closed at 313,000 won, up 5.4 percent in one trading day. HYBE's market capitalization reached 11.1 trillion won, making it the 38th largest stock on the Korea Stock Exchange (Kospi). The company's shares rose for 7 consecutive trading days, up nearly 20 percent during that time.
The most recent share price rally comes after Bulletproof Juniors' new single "Butter" topped the Billboard Top 100 for three consecutive weeks, released on May 21.
HYBE founder and CEO Bang Si-hyuk gave away the stock to the company's most popular man's band a month before the company went public. HYBE, then known as Big Hit Entertainment, said the gift symbolized a long-term relationship between the company and the artist.
Bang owns 13.1 million shares of its common stock, or 34.74 percent of HYBE, and is valued at more than 4.1 trillion won (about 23.48 billion yuan).
All in all: they are rich and their wealth continues to grow
Just from the market value of their stocks, you can see how much wealth they have, although compared with the owner of HYBE, Fang Shihe, there is still a big gap, but now they have entered the list of South Korea's richest people, and they are still young, 30 years old has not yet arrived, such achievements are very powerful in our view, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.
Of course, the gifts given to their parents can only be said to be a little bit of their wealth, but even this little bit is also very much for us. Among these gifts, in fact, we can also see that V's gift is still very creative, and it can be said that it is the most meaningful of them, what do you think? Welcome to discuss!
