K-pop idols’ biggest brand crushes: BTS member RM hoards Kaws figurines while Blackpink’s Jennie collects vintage Chanel and Lisa loves Rolex and luxury watches
STORYLucy Jeong
- JYJ’s Junsu owns a supercar by almost every luxury manufacturer you can name, including Audi, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley
- G-Dragon’s US$7.3 million Hannam-dong penthouse is home to his art collection, while former 2NE1 member Sandara Park is a sneakerhead with over 1,000 shoes
How the rich and famous spend their cash is a source of endless fascination, and it’s no different with K-pop stars. Raking in millions from their music careers and brand deals, idols can definitely afford to splurge on luxury – so what do they collect, and just how much are their collections worth?
BTS’ RM: art figurines

As skilled as he is at creating art through his music, BTS’ RM is also a noted art collector himself. His admirable collection of art figurines is especially worth a look. The walls of his studio, named Rkive, are filled with figurines by contemporary American artist Brian Donnelly, better known as Kaws, including Companion models priced at around US$5,000 each, according to Koreaboo.
We can definitely feel RM’s love for the artist, considering that he owns figurines in all sorts of different sizes, colours and from different limited edition series. RM and his bandmate J-Hope, also a Kaws fan, even got to meet the man himself in 2018 when he visited Korea for his Kaws: Holiday project.
G-Dragon: fine art
G-Dragon made headlines when he moved into a 9 billion won (US$7.3 million) luxury penthouse in Hannam-dong last year, and he grabbed the media’s attention again in February when he offered a sneak peak of his home art collection in a video tour by Hypebeast.
