Bang bought the property in 2022, reportedly located in the prestigious neighborhood of Bel-Air. According to news reports, the mansion was previously the home of popular American comedian Trevor Noah, and Bang purchased it from him at USD 26 million Dollars.

Back then, reports only showed limited pictures of the property. So, when a netizen made a post compiling many of its photos taken from different angles and spots, including the interior, it went viral as people reveled in its luxuriousness.
The three-storeyed mansion spans across 11,000 sq ft, complete with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

There is also a library-esque corner in the house, furnished with a modern chandelier and shelves full of what appear to be books, paintings, and other statement décor.

Another interesting corner of the house is a huge home-theater setting, facilitating different kinds of seating arrangements, including plush couches and modern chairs with a wooden island. This space is connected to an open-air patio.

While the OP (original poster) concluded their post by saying Bang Si Hyuk should be thankful to BTS for this fortune, other netizens were left in complete shock after being able to visualize just how wealthy he is.
| Instiz “Wow, daebak. I knew he had money but seeing this makes me realize exactly how rich he is…”
— “Me too.” “It looks like one of those houses from ‘Selling Sunset.’”
— “You’re right.” “Wow, I agree with you.” “Didn’t he buy this house from someone else? Who was it?”
— “Comedian Trevor Noah! The person who hosts Grammys every year.” | Instiz “Wow,” “But, is Bang Si Hyuk married?”
— “No.” “Wow, he lives like Hollywood celebrities…But then again, he probably has much more.”
