How Much Do Kpop Idols Make

Income in the world of K-pop varies widely depending on such factors as features, the company and number of activities. A new group might earn less than $7,000 per member a year, for your information, while big names like BTS' or Blackpink' doubtless make millions. Most of the profits are made from album sales, concerts, endorsements, and other activities domestic or abroad. However there are traps as well. For small agency idols, there is the burden of the arduous training costs, which must be paid back, as do the dorm and publicity fee deductions. BadIf all the world is a stage, than what about backstage?

Speaking of K-pop stars, there's always a gap in terms of earnings. Some earn only a little thousand while others hit the multi-million mark. Yes, they are entertainment stars standing shoulder to shoulder with the world's most successful stage performers. EXO, BTS, Twice…

Whether it's a group or not, likely any of these is a millionaire. In addition to the albums they produce, they also hold concert tours and make music deals as endorser-idols. Songwriting royalties can contribute too as well royalties from their acting parts, advertising or TV hosting jobs And of course gigs such as promotional events overseas—even an appearance at “Shopping Animals' Day“ store open ceremony brings in quite a bit.

However, there is a more down-side to life on the star road. New and lesser-known idols may earn very little, after splitting the profits with their agencies it is for this reason that the authors advocate agents who offer standard terms of agency contracts. After these things consider the fact that 1 USD equals 1,000 Won, and things show themselves even more starkly.

Moreover, the so-called 'slave contract' system forces entertainers to give their agency five to seven years exclusive good music service but receive in return only meager compensation, and the current structure of income allocation for the industry leaves a lot of talented idols undervalued and underpaid.

Still, die-hard fans also known as “stans” in K-pop lingo continue aiding the idols. They hope to propel these singers whom they adore unreservedly to stardom deservedly.
