how much kpop idols get paid

these kpop idols all revealed how much they made and it’s sad that they are severely underpaid despite working so hard :(

for the bigger groups, those are estimations I got from several trusted websites which may be inaccurate.

i’m pretty sure IU earns much more than that considering she’s also a top actress

BAP was not a small group, by any means. That number is shocking and shows how greedy agencies are.

I feel really bad for the idols who get paid less to nothing at all. I listened to The Rose music a lot and they're very calming, emotional, lovely songs. Extremely talented group, they should get the recognition and salary that they deserve

[periiwiinkles]

it shows us that their happiest smiles carry so much trauma

There should be a Minimum Wage Law for Kpop idols, including also some minimum standard for trainees❣️

BAP isn't a small group in any way. They were one of the two biggest rookie groups with exo until 2014 where they had a year long lawsuit with their company for not getting paid, having slave contracts and mismanagement towards the group. They were giant in the industry and even entered billboard two times before any other rookies did (one being their debut song). Unfortunately they got backstabbed by their fans when they were in hiatus due the lawsuit. Members were suffering as they fight with their abusive company but nearly %75-%80 of their fans left their fandom and joined other young fandoms like army, exol, bana or melody

IU single handedly earns 15M yearly😂😂
Such a queen❤️❤️

[iusnamja]

IU is the richest female idol with networth of 45m dollars

So proud of Seventeen for coming this far from basically nothing but it’s sad to see sone groups getting nothing when they worked so hard

[RahisCoverWorld]

Everyone comes in the K-pop stream with dreams and aspirations, everyone works hard but only few achieve fame and the rest are just thriving for survival. Sad but true😢

its sad how they work hard but doesnt get paid enough

[emelys]

Makes me really sad for those who don't get I only know the rose (and damn they're great). I hope they'll get the money they deserve

[whatarewedoinghere]

Back in SVT rookie years, they weren't even able to use proper earpieces (in-ears) for performances on stage. The boys had to buy it themselves while those who couldn't afford had to use their own android earphones for promotions.Seeing them listed as one of the "big groups" now makes me really emotional...

Another fact : mostly idols under the companies outside of the big 3 are in debt w their companies once they debut. They have to pay their company back for taking them in during their trainees day (giving them dorms, feeding them, etc). I feel bad for idols who works under less known companies :(

[letscelebratae]

My heart aches for the other groups who gets nothing…imagine training for a long time and debuts but barely getting paid…I would seriously quit and go to another company☹️

[meyrawang]

Why isnt anyone speaking abt the fact some of the kpop group didn't get paid??? I feel so bad for them

[fitrynabiilah]

The fact that B.A.P was really successful and even widely known since their debut makes it even sadder that they earned so little :(

This is the reality of being a kpop idol behind all the glamorous and happy lives they show us on camera

[naenaerealquick]

BAP were legendary just to be paid crumbs, their music still has a hold on me to this day. I’m pretty sure they were trendsetters for sure within kpop.

I remember Ashley once said that her first income is from her YouTube channel.. watching how happy she got the payment make me want to cry, imagine those idols if they finally get payment for their efforts, I think they will feel like they are the happiest person in the world😭😭😭
