JAKARTA - Jimin BTS apartment was temporarily confiscated due to unpaid health insurance premiums. On April 24, Korean news outlet Biz Hankook reported that the National Health Insurance Service had confiscated Jimin's apartment at Nine One Hannam in Seoul on January 25 because the singer did not pay his health insurance premiums.

Quoted from Soompi, Monday, April 25, Jimin is known to have first bought an apartment for 5.9 billion won (about 4.7 million US dollars) in May last year.

According to the report, Jimin received four separate notices of foreclosure by registered mail during the time his apartment was temporarily confiscated. However, the seizure was finally lifted on April 22 after he paid the health insurance premiums that were due.

Later that evening, Big Hit Music responded to the news with a statement explaining that the situation was caused by an error within the company.

"Regarding this matter, the agency was the first to receive all letters that arrived at the artist's dormitory, and in the process of conveying it to the artist, some of the letters were accidentally deleted," the agency said, quoted by ANTARA.

"Due to Jimin's overseas activities starting late last year, his extended rest period, and his scheduled overseas activities after that, he wasn't aware of things like his late premiums," he added.

Furthermore, the agency explained that as soon as Jimin BTS found out about this, he immediately paid the arrears in full, and currently, the situation has been resolved.

"We apologize for the fact that we have worried artists and fans due to the negligence of our company," concluded the statement from Big Hit Music.
