The house of BTS member, Jimin was confiscated, the label admits negligence
Big Hit Music has responded to a report that BTS member Jimin’s apartment was seized due to unpaid health insurance premiums.
On April 24, Korean news channel Biz Hankook reported that the National Health Insurance Service had confiscated Jimin’s apartment at Nine One Hannam in Seoul on January 25 because the singer did not pay his health insurance premiums.
Jimin bought the apartment for 5.9 billion won (about US $ 4.7 million) in May last year.
According to the report, Jimin received four separate notices on the matter by registered mail, and the notice was withdrawn on April 22 after he paid in full the outstanding amount.
In a statement, Big Hit Music explained that the situation stemmed from their mistakes.
“Because Jimin’s overseas activities started at the end of last year, his long rest period, and activities scheduled abroad after that, he didn’t realize things like his health premiums were in arrears.
“As soon as he was informed, he paid the arrears in full, and everything was settled.
“We apologize for the company’s negligence in making fans worried,” the statement said.
