On the 20th of January, Biz Hankook reported that BTS Suga bought a luxury apartment around August of last year at a price of 3.4 billion Korean Won, which amounts to around 3 million U.S. dollars.

The apartment is located in the prominent villa complex of UN Village and is one of the most popular neighborhoods amongst the Korean Chaebol, family clans who run the most prominent conglomerates in the country. Of these, a large portion of the Jung family of one of Korea's largest automobile companies, Hyundai Motors, lives in this complex.

Before purchasing this house, BTS Suga was known to have lived in a small flat around Samsung Joongang station in Seoul. According to the sources reporting, it is supposed that Suga bought the house without a loan.

Taeyang from Big Bang was known to have lived in this area until he left to complete his military service.

Other well-known Korean celebrities are also known to reside in this very same neighborhood.

BTS Jin had also gained the media's attention for purchasing a luxury apartment around the end of last year. Jin's and now Suga's purchases testify to BTS's growing stardom and the direct changes that occur in the stars' personal lives. Starting from bottom up, these idols have come a long way and it can be said that maybe they, more than anyone, deserve the life that has opened up to them.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Tents lined the sidewalk around the Kia Forum in Inglewood on Tuesday as hundreds of fans awaited the start of BTS member Suga's solo performances. Suga, also known by his alter ego Agust D, is the first member to tour solo since the K-pop group announced they would be taking a break while members served in their military.

The first night of the show isn't until Wednesday, but some of fans camped outside the venue since Monday night.

"I just love all his songs. I really encourage people to look at the lyrics. It'll impress you and I know it speaks to my sister especially," said Mandy Torres, a fan who drove from Riverside. "I'm out here camping for her. She's going to be the one in front me." Most of the people lined up on the concrete already got their General Admission tickets to one of the three shows. They lined up in hopes of securing as close a spot as possible to the stage.

"It's wanting to get barricade," said Jennifer Yanez, a fan from El Monte. "So, like I want to be in front. I want to make eye contact. I want to see him!"

Suga's three nights at the Kia Forum begins Wednesday followed by a show on Thursday and finishing up with a final show on Sunday.
