(KPop Memories) BTS members gifting houses to sibings, a company owner did not. Why 4th gen is not following suit?

BTS Jungkook and Jin, "No.1 stars who gave big gifts to their families"

BTS Jin and Jungkook were selected as the 1st place in "Stars who gave big gifts to their families".

Jungkook gave his older brother an apartment worth $3.4 million at that time, I think in 2019.

Are BTS K-pop’s most generous band? Here’s what they bought their parents

Seokjin gave ownership of a luxury flat to his parents.

Hoseok gave box of cash , and Namjoon let his parents use his credit card.

Nothing about Yoongi, Taehyung and Jimin so they are more stingy to their families, I guess.

Lee Jonghoon, who heard about BTS members giving houses to their siblings, complained that his sister, Lee Jieun, who was t he Owner of Edam Entertainment at that time, lacked humanity.

That was 2020 and Lee Jieun owned Edam Entertainment outright at that point of time.

IU had become infamous for her real estate speculation earlier in 2019, and it was later revealed that she owned four dwellings, one of them she sold to help to pay for a $11.7 million mansion.

At that time (and even probably now), Jungkook and Seokjin are poorer than IU, but they gave a house to their siblings and parents,

but Lee Jieun was so greedy that she did not gift a house to her only sibling, so he complained that IU lacked humanity. If IU had gifted her brother house maybe he would have said that his sister was full of humanity, but she probably found it prudent to keep her brother in a short leash, which she succeeded - he followed IU when the latter went to Japan with Lee Jongsuk, and he also followed all of the world tour of Lee Jieun, now no longer owning Edam Entertainment, this year.

That might be the difference of an employee and a company owner. Jungkook and Jin thought like someone who collected a salary, but Lee Jieun, as an owner of a company (at that time), decided which was more prudent for the future.

I do not hear stories of 4th Gen idols giving expensive gifts to their family members.

I wonder whether the trends have changed, or whether they don't make enough money like their former generations were.

Quote from pchromo4

IU's little brother is living in her former condo at the Raemian Caelitus now that she purchased the new penthouse at Eterno.

But unlike Jungkook, the former owner of Edam Entertainment still keeps that in her name.

Quote from bbgc

She is "Gukmin Yeodongsaeng", Nation's Little Sister and she has been gifting a lot to the Nation, particularly to the poorer brothers and sisters.

And by all accounts Lee Jonghoon seems on board with it.

Her family seems a well adjusted type who don't want to live off their daughter, her mother still works it seems and those concert cushions are from her.

In any case, I am for celebrities keeping their families private and not make Kardashians of them.

Indeed she gifted a lot to the less fortunate but not much to her sole real sibling

It seems she makes Jonghoon work for his money and not expect something for nothing.

Jungkook did have some brushes when he tried his older brother to run a clothing line for him, which made a lot of Armies furious in case he might do something like what JYJ members had done before.

Quote from sveznalica

Now these are good siblings, not like that seventeen guy who said that he won't give money (if not absolutely necessary) to his sibling.

selll not all families are created alike.
