BTS Jimin's officetel reportedly reached foreclosure.
According to an exclusive report by Biz Korea, the Yongsan branch of the National Health Service seized Jimin's 'Nine One Hannam' officetel on January 25th.
In a leaked certified copy of the registration, the word 'foreclosed' is written and the 'National Health Insurance Corporation' is named as the rights holder. The seizure registration was canceled 3 months later on the 22nd after Jimin paid his health insurance premiums in full.
During the seizure period, the National Health Insurance had sent seizure notices to Jimin's residence four times due to multiple delinquent premiums.
On the 24th, Big Hit officially clarified reports and told Newsen, "The company first received the mail in the artists' dorms and in the process of delivering it to the artist, an omission occurred to to an error in some mail. Jimin was unaware of the delinquent payments due to overseas schedules, long vacations, and subsequent overseas schedules since the end of last year. Jimin has since repaid the delinquent accounts in full. We apologize for causing concern to our artist and fans due to our negligence."
Jimin bought his 89 pyeong 'Nine One Hannam' officetel in May last year for 5.9 billion won in cash.
- [+2,457, -286] The only issue legally is the fact that antis stole Jimin's mail and leaked it online. It clearly said that only the person addressed can open it. Does it make sense that certified mail was stolen and opened by someone other than the person it's registered to and leaked? Why is there no word about that in the article? I did a quick search and our postal laws clearly say this is a crime punishable with 3 years in prison or 30 million won fine.
- [+1,422, -65] Probably because health insurance premiums keep rising over 3% year after year.
- [+836, -141] So they sent the seizure notice not once, but 4 times? And he missed all 4...? Does that make sense? I'm sure they tried to send the notice through other ways than just mail? Especially if it reached a point where they had to seize a BTS member's house?
- [+458, -63] HYBE never does their job right.. sigh
- [+253, -83] Make sure they don't get exempted from the military!
- [+210, -66] Ah, this is quite disappointing. And why is the agency taking the fall for this ㅋㅋㅋ Wasn't Jimin at home quarantining at the time due to the corona and the appendectomy? How was he not aware he was behind on his premiums?! ㅋㅋㅋ Weren't they just asking for military exemptions because they bring in a lot of money and pay taxes?! How about paying your taxes timely firstㅋㅋㅋ You've yet to uphold any of your other duties as a citizen of our country. ㅡㅡ
- [+183, -50] ?? So only Jimin was unaware his premiums were overdue because of long vacations and overseas schedules? But how did the other members get their premiums paid on time???
- [+165, -22] He couldn't even pay his premiums properly but they're talking about giving them military exemptionsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+54, -3] HYBE is their anti
- [+48, -21] All delinquents deserve to be arrested and punished severely under the law.
- [+28, -16] He bought the officetel with 5.9 billion in cash but didn't have money for premiums??
- [+23, -2] Eh ~ so the other members paid theirs ok? Why is it only Jimin that was in arrears?
- [+21, -8] Well it's not like this is your typical tax evasion scam. I doubt anyone would deliberately delinquent on insurance premiums ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ unless he's trying to announce he doesn't even have 200,000 won in his bank book ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+12, -2] But is it really possible to not know your officetel was foreclosed on? I'm genuinely curious.
