EXID Sees Positive Revenue for the First Time Since Debut

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

It has just been announced that for the first time since their 2012 debut, the group EXID has earned revenue.

According to the group's agency, thanks to their sudden rise in popularity, this is the most revenue EXID has ever seen.

On May 6, a Yedang Entertainment representative stated, "EXID has earned revenue for the first time since their debut. For the first time since their 2012 debut, they are in the 'plus'."

The representative further explained that before "UP&DOWN", EXID had constantly been in the "minus" -- in other words, the agency was spending more money on the group than the group was making.

EXID's entertainment company went on to state, "It would be difficult to disclose exactly how much they made, but they made an amount suitable for the hard work they've put into promotions. They were all very glad."

We're glad too! Congratulations to EXID on finally stacking some cash!

glad they're finally making a profit (after three years!!!!) but i still don't think they're seeing any money. aren't they still paying off their trainee debt? minus le maybe??

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

Yeah like as a company they're probably seeing revenue, but I doubt the group members are seeing any influx of cash moneys.

i think thats what an article implies since idols revenue typically goes straight into paying off their debt before theyre considered in the green

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

from the article it's pretty clear exid are being paid now. they were in the minus for their debt and now they have paid it all off & are making money!!!!

like this is good news but also goddamn
my job sucks & i make minimum wage to deal with far too much already like i could never be an idol

[wafflesnmilk.livejournal.com]

and it took them a wildly successful hit song and several cfs to get there , makes you think about how groups like dal shabet even have enough capital to continue promoting

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

exactly. i wonder about dal shabet/etc but the idol escort rumors about agencies pimping out their idols makes me think of them & other groups who are flopping but keep promoting.

give Junghwa her payday for being a sweet little princess DO IT NOW

*fake edit omg I couldn't remember hyerin's full name for the life of me so I started typing it in and google wanted to autofill it with "exid hyerin fat"???? this fucking industry.

lol there are fancams of when she got kind of heavy during their hiatus thats prob what people were searching for :/

[senshicalico.livejournal.com]

lol, I figured as much. Sigh.

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

i'm touched, congrats T.T. if they weren't suddenly popular then they'll be going for their 3rd year without any revenue, how depressing it is, adding that there's many group suffering like them out there

[pockeeta.livejournal.com]

curious but is this inclusive of their other jobs/individual work? like variety shows, etc?

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

Congrats girls! This makes me wonder how other groups who are not as popular get paid.

[revertigo.livejournal.com]

yay! i wish this for every group -- just thinking of my student loans and being in debt when you're just starting out just feels so hopeless lol :( with idols you're basically in an indentured servant contract for a decade with the big companies and they might not treat you well

EXID tho! every win is like their first win

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

This is so precious

How do they look so pretty while ugly crying... I swear they are all fairies.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

They've been through so much I'm just glad they're finally seeing the fruits of their labor.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

The entertainment industry is so shady, I could never. But really, I could never seeing as I have no talent anyway.
