5 K-pop idols’ luxury watches we can’t stop admiring: from BTS’ RM’s Rolex Perpetual Day-Date Platinum to Blackpink’s Lisa’s Audemars Piguet, and Jaemin and Chanyeol’s Cosmograph Daytonas

Not every K-pop idol can make it big, but those sitting at the top are paid in the millions per year. Although their earnings might evoke envy in some people, we’re just happy to sit here and appreciate the fruits of their labour, as these young and rich stars have already made enough that they can blow the extra cash on some truly covetable luxury watches. Read on for five K-pop idols with timepieces we just can’t stop admiring. 1. S. Coups (Seventeen) The leader of the 13-strong group is known to be so generous that he makes sure to pay for his fans’ meals every time he runs into them in restaurants. Fans often tease him for being “the rich leader”, but the nickname is actually close to the truth. He recently revealed to Allure Korea that he splurged on a Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Huracan to celebrate the renewal of his group’s contract with its company. The watch costs US$54,500, per Modesens. 2. Jaemin (NCT) 210123 JAEMIN - new watch ✨💸💸 #ROLEX #JAEMINstyle #JAEMIN #NCT #NCTDREAM #NCTU #재민 #엔시티드림 pic.twitter.com/L1P6rc78Cu — NCT JAEMIN FASHION 재민 패션 옷장 (@najaeminstyle) January 23, 2021 Jaemin is known to be a big spender. At 22, he’s already stacked up a Cartier jewellery and watch collection. One of his costlier watches is the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ice Blue Oyster Platinum 40mm, which was reportedly priced at US$75,000 in 2021. He’s worn the watch on many occasions, both on and off duty. Inside Karl Lagerfeld’s love for K-pop stars Jennie Kim and G-Dragon 3. Chanyeol (Exo) It seems like the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a popular model as Chanyeol also owns the same one as Jaemin. Chanyeol’s was reportedly gifted his by his fan club Chanbar, but he is also said to have a personal collection of six Rolexes, reportedly ranging from US$13,000 to US$75,000 in price. He’s often spotted out and about wearing his watches, favouring the Platinum Daytona or a gold Submariner Date Blue 18k model, reportedly worth around US$34,000. 4. Lisa (Blackpink) Surprisingly, she doesn’t appear to have crossed the US$60,000 mark for luxury watches despite her extensive clothing and handbag collection. One of Lisa’s most expensive watches is reportedly the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Lady 37mm Rose Gold Automatic. Royal Oaks reportedly go for between US$50,000 to US$95,000, according to a 2022 Luxury Bazaar report. She also is known to favour her diamond-encrusted Rolex Datejust, reportedly worth around US$32,000. Apart from this, she also owns an extensive watch collection, with the lowest-priced one appearing to be an Hermès H Heure, reportedly worth US$660. 5 of the best watches at the Met Gala 2023, from Simu Liu to Michelle Yeoh 5. RM (BTS) Despite being the richest idol on this list with a net worth of US$20 million, per StyleCaster, RM’s watch choice is a relatively humble one. Although he has many more in his collection, one of his more expensive pieces is his Rolex Perpetual Day-Date Platinum Bar, worth around US$60,000, per Chrono24. In fact, he owns the platinum silver one while fellow bandmate Jin owns a rose gold version. Fans especially love it when he wears this Rolex because of its status as “the president’s watch”, a title they feel is befitting of the intellectual star! Want more stories like this?
