The dark side wins: Heads Of YG, SM And FNC Entertainment Named 3 Richest Celebrities In Korea

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment chief Yang Hyun Suk is the wealthiest celebrity in South Korea, according to Chaebol.com.

The South Korean website that tracks the country's primarily family-run conglomerates released its list of the wealthiest celebrities on Monday. The top three people on the list were all the heads of Korean entertainment agencies.

YG Entertainment's Yang, SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo Man, and FNC Entertainment's CEO Han Seung Ho came in the top three spots on the list.

Yang Hyun Suk was ranked at the top of the list with assets of $159 million USD. The gap between Yang and SM Entertainment's Lee Soo Man narrowed, after Yang's assets went down by 2% whereas Lee's estimated value rose by 19%.

YG Entertainment is home to Psy, Big Bang, 2NE1 and several other popular Korean acts, while SM Entertainment houses Girls' Generation, Super Junior, EXO, f(x) and more. Both companies have multiple subsidiaries and have their hands in acting, business, fashion, and cosmetics along with the K-pop industry.

Chaebol.com assessed Lee's worth near $154 million USD.

JYP Entertainment's founder Park Jin Young came in sixth place.

The list also included actor-businessman Bae Yong Joon, musical actress Ham Yeonji, actress Kyeon Mi Ri, actress-entrepreneur Go Hyun Jung, and actor Jang Dong Gun .

thanks i wanted to make eye contact w this sentient slime husk

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

He is not the CEO of JYP Ent.
Edit because I didn't read it as overshadow it and I thought you were talking about JYP Ent. failing with Miss A promotions, and I don't know how much of that is JYP fault. But for overshadowing he for sure is.

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

There the explanation of my edit

[paravion23.livejournal.com]

i mean lbr the main thing overshadowing their comeback was putting them up against exo.

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

this. like, lol i don't get why people keep acting like jyp was their biggest competition

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

yeah, no that much is agreed, and most people leave it at that. it's just some people go a little further and say he 'split the vote' so to say and cost miss a a win

[paravion23.livejournal.com]

and jyp does deserve blame for that scheduling because miss a really isnt a group who can compete with exo, nobody can. altho sm has been overlapping come backs all year as well.

[paravion23.livejournal.com]

did he go on music shows i cant even remember did he even win anything? i wish he would quit already because aside from his own songs i do enjoy that jyp puts a lot of stock into their newer artists they debuted two new groups this year and are investing as opposed to yg who relies on big bang for the majority of its income, interested to see what yg will rank when they enlist.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

According to my intense research (lol) via google/wikipedia/youtube, he performed on that one kpop star show and Sketchbook. I tried looking up Who's Your Mama wins and I can't find anything, so I guess not bc it was around when EXO did a comeback and they probably swept all the awards.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

mte. it's like when Girl's Day went up again Girls' Generation this summer (legit felt so sorry for them + shitty song choice + that weird controversy). I wouldn't push anyone against large fanbases like that. I'm assuming Miss A has a large fanbase as well, but Suzy as herself is a large item instead of the collective group as a whole.

I wanted to come in to make this comment, but you're way ahead. A+

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I think every day I hate his face a little bit more.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Even if someone gave me one million I wouldn't complain, lol.

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

gurl what

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

its a lot of money, sure, but compared to other topstars in other countries this is a joke. you'd think that the richerst person in korea would be a lot wealthier

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

He's not the richest person in Korea though.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

i mean, richest entertainer/celebrity. of course the heirs of samsung and co are much more wealthier

[unbroken-glass.livejournal.com]

is that personal wealth? or does that include the company's assets as well?

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

Personal wealth, there's no way that YG or SM as a company have made so little.

[aurellee.livejournal.com]

So we now understand why JYP making lots of comeback in a year. He lost his rank.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

articles like these make me curious as to how much companies like samsung and lotte make.

/goes to google/

(if anyone wanted to know samsung ceo net worth is 10 billion)

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

10 billion...
While I have doubts about if spending more than 10€ to dinner is a good idea. *going to laugh and cry at the same time*

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

I feel like shit when I spend half of this on my favourite dumplings lol
But all those money and he still can't buy the style, like those hats... Here we are the winners for sure;D

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

LMAO yes there we win at something aha

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

same! i cringe when i have to spend $10 on one meal or even daily.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

I wonder what it's like to be a billionaire... My car costs $3k to fix and I'm already $25k+ in debt from my first year of college... The possibilities.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

ahhh... to be free of debt from school loans and not have to worry about spending money. that seems mind boggling to me. must be nice lol

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

[bmo.livejournal.com]

[kwikimart.livejournal.com]

Nnnn @ y'all going 'he's not that rich' mean while i'm like '...does he need a side chick?' skfjaskfja

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

My literal first thought was, "Who's dick do I gotta suck for a fifth of that.

[kwikimart.livejournal.com]

You have the right priorities!

[soyymilk.livejournal.com]

LMAO SAME

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

Laughing at 'Chaebol.com' which apparently doesn't even exist...

[pastelpinklace.livejournal.com]

LSM is the devil, after all that money and you still have to overwork ur artists
