But to be honest I believe this was FNC Ent.’s idea to change that statement and they used Choa. After a few days though, Choa “cleared” this statement by saying that what Seolhyun said was not true and because she’s young she may got the wrong idea on how profit sharing was done. If you have watched the variety show “Knowing Brother”, Seolhyun revealed that the company pay them equally. If she films a beer commercial, appears on variety shows, and stars in a television drama, how much of the money he makes actually goes into his pocket? Here’s the answer: the beer commercial will be even split between all six members, money from the variety show appearances will be split between the six members while Seolhyun will receive the entire amount of money made from the television drama. So back track that and you’ll notice that it took 3 years for a top group to break even from their debt with the company. So what does this mean? AOA has become a household name in KPOP so you automatically say that they earn a lot but what if I tell you that AOA and all of its members have only started to get profit shares from their company by the end of 2015. So in a span of 2 years they became a top group after struggling for the previous 2 years. Not only this, Seolhyun became one of the top idol endorsers with probably over 20+ CF deals and that was back in 2014/2015. But then in 2014 they produced hits after hits, their album sales started to increase from 14k to 20k to 30 and so on so in short they started to become a top girl group (digital sales for 4 releases have all reached at least 1 million copies). For their first 4 promotions, their average album sales were only a mere 4 thousand copies while their digital sales were only a combined 300 thousand for 4 releases which is kind of mediocre. What I mean by that was that their first 2 years after debut was not successful. ![]() AOA made their debut in 2012 and had to struggle for 2 years. To give you a better understanding I will give you AOA as an example. They are confident that their investment will come back in no time so they are paying their talents like how they should be. Do you follow? To simplify this statement, the Big 3 can easily generate income out of their talents because of their reputation as being part of the “Big 3”. And that is exactly why the Big 3 shares their profit to their talents from the start and that is because their names alone can generate income making them the top money makers among companies. ![]() What do I mean by this? When you here the name of any of the Big 3 you immediately pay attention right? You are already waiting for their next move and waiting for a group or solo artist to debut and no matter how great or not great the talent is, in a way you’d still pay attention to them since they belong to a top company. ![]() SM, YG and JYP are probably the only KPOP companies to share profits with their talents from the moment the artists’ debut. Let’s start off by discussing how the Big 3 Companies handle the money matter issue. So I am here today to give you a better view and understanding on how much money do KPOP idols really earn. I saw a post a month ago regarding the same issue but it has limited information about the issue and have not really gave a concrete idea of how much the KPOP idols really earn. So before we start, let me tell you that this is indeed a very long post so brace yourself!
