tvN ENEWS 'Blackbox', Celebrities' Annual Earnings Ranking Revealed

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

TVXQ, who is currently in a dispute with their agency, caught the attention of many by having the highest annual earnings this year despite the unfavorable conditions they are currently in.

tvN ENEWS' 'blackbox' corner that was aired on the 20th ranked the celebrities with the top ten annual earnings this year.

The celebrity with the highest earnings was TVXQ, followed by Rain, Big Bang, Super Junior, Kim Hyun Joon, Go Hyun Jung, Girls' Generation, Lee Byung Hun, Yoo Jae Seok and Kang Ho Dong.

It was found that TVXQ earned at least 126.4 billion Won (equivalent to approximately 109 million USD) this year when their 90 billion Won earnings from Japanese album sales are taken into account.

However, this news is overshadowed by the fact that TVXQ is currently fighting a legal dispute with their agency SM Entertainment over an 'unfair contract' and have even been driven to the brink of a disbandment.

Newsway announcer/reporter Jung Soo Ryang stated, "TVXQ was able to reap such earning regardless of the fact that they are in such unfavorable conditions with the legal dispute," and "If their had been no legal dispute, they would have earned much more than this amount."

She also added, "If TVXQ, who has evolved from just a domestic star to a Hallyu star of Asia, cannot overcome these unfortunate conditions and disband, not only will this be a huge loss to our country's entertainment industry, it will also be a loss at a nationwide scale," and "I hope to see TVXQ come to a reasonable agreement with their agency and return to the stage in good spirits."

ENEWS' 'Blackbox' airs every Wednesday and brings experts of many fields to the panel to discuss controversial events of the entertainment industry.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

126.4 million won this year? 90 billion won from japan? So remaining 36.4 million from korea when they don't have any activities? O___O

[jing-16.livejournal.com]

i think that 36.4 million includes profit from mirotic tour too?

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Go Hyun Jung and SNSD with the big boys <3
Too bad the SM people don't see much of it lol

o/t

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Oh and congrats to GO Hyun jung for winning the daesang!

[aburstofyellow.livejournal.com]

Yes, they earned a lot. But don't they have to split that? And money goes to SM, who pays for stuff, right?

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

The report is about their gross income, not their individual salaries.

The payment for production crew, dancers & staff comes out of the profits.

[aburstofyellow.livejournal.com]

I guess SJ earned more than SNSD, because they did concerts... SNSD wasn't very active til these award shows (right?O.o)

[jaechibi-41.livejournal.com]

yeah, dbsk have the highest earning. but does it mean that they have high salaries?

[ekkusuchan.livejournal.com]

that's the most important question.

[billisamidget.livejournal.com]

This is their gross profit, not their income, right?

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

They wouldn't sue if they were making that much money

[paperlet.livejournal.com]

sucks for smtow all that money they make and they never get it LOL.

hyunjoong must be happy boys over flower happened. *_*

[lovemixin.livejournal.com]

well talk about pressure.


so i guess the members of dbsk can never really put themselves first huh. because appaaarrennttllyy, the korea economy's is on their hands .

imo, she's actually emphasizing their value as a team, rather than actually disagreeing with them doing their thing.

uh, sad fact is that everything is weighed in dollars and cents in the industry. the higher tvxq's value is, the better the chances of the company actually wanting to compromise.

social & economic pressure on SME is also not a bad thing, if the point is to make them give in.

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

i just love how everyone is taking this negatively. jesus people. ==;;

[billisamidget.livejournal.com]

I actually like the article, and the news itself about the earnings.

[aitsu-kame.livejournal.com]

definitely a pressure on SME's side

[ad-juvant.livejournal.com]

Geez. At how people are taking this article... Once DBSK is mentioned, it's SM's fault. Tsk.

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

MMMHMMM.

I'm so tired of explaining to people that it's as much about rights as it is about money, and who the hell are we to say what's right or wrong.

"I hope to see TVXQ come to a reasonable agreement with their agency and return to the stage in good spirits."

MTE.

[kagura-ag.livejournal.com]

i hope this show korea, that tvxq are more wanted and appreciated as japanese artists.. omg i want u boys back together T_T..

[atarashiiyoake.livejournal.com]

The celebrity with the highest earnings was TVXQ

Oh, the irony.

[nicooyo.livejournal.com]

"If their had been no legal dispute, they would have earned much more than this amount."

Yeah they would have but they also would've been working themselves to death and probably not seeing any of that.

So in a way I'm glad the lawsuit thing happened. I hope they get what's theirs because they deserve it. They made the most money but I bet nearly everyone else listed up their saw more of their earnings than DBSK did.

[nicooyo.livejournal.com]

there*

lol fail. this three day show thing has me nearly losing it from lack of sleep.

[music3chick.livejournal.com]

omg, the future! lol
Happy New Years to you too

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

[bepo-chan.livejournal.com]

see SM, there's no way they've earned only 49.8 billion won in the last 5 years, seeing as they earned more than twice of that during their hiatus year. lol.

[tribblenuu.livejournal.com]

IA. It's hard not to see SM as the bad guy when they keep lying like this.

[toygrass.livejournal.com]

Kim Hyun Joon as in Kim hyun Joong from ss501 right???????????????

OMG BB IS RICH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

O___________________O

[roch-02.livejournal.com]

How could they know about these numbers?

I wouldn't be surprised if they make more than $109M

You know, SM MIGHT BE LYING about these numbers.

It could be A LOT higher

I don't know if I'm making sense here.

BUT YEAH. DBSK has always been doubtful about their income.

Wait this is how much money they've made, but not what they've earned right? If that's the case this asshole can DIAF

[thetaintedblade.livejournal.com]

well fuck me, really

[lawlzipop.livejournal.com]

LOL, call them a detriment financially now, SM, I dare you.

Though way to be srs douche bags by putting that much pressure on them to return lest Korea's financial market take a hit. That's a sad comment on Korea's business economy.

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

WHAT??? Still, even with all the drama unfolding and having less activities than they might have had, they're still top for earnings?
Wow, it shows the real power of TVXQ!
*grins*
