Arin, a member of the girl group OH MY GIRL, gave a meaningful donation to commemorate her birthday.

According to WM Entertainment on the 18th (KST), Arin donated 30 million won ($26,500 USD) to the Beautiful Foundation to commemorate her birthday. The donation will be used to support the independence of young people who have been discharged from childcare facilities / foster care homes.

A young person placed 'out of protection’ refers to when they are discharged from a childcare facility or a foster care home at the age of 18. According to statistics, an average of 2,550 young people are placed ‘out of protection’ every year, making responsibility for their housing and livelihood theirs alone.

Arin said, "I decided to donate this donation to repay the love of my group members and fans who have been with me from minor to adult on my birthday."

Arin debuted in OH MY GIRL in 2015 and is active in various fields such as music, entertainment, and acting. Despite her busy schedule, she continues to participate in sharing and spreading her good influence. Recently, she donated underwear worth 16 million won ($14,142 USD) for elderly from low-income families and participated as a model in a public interest funding project to support abandoned animals with her dog, Ari.

The Beautiful Foundation has been supporting the career explorations and lives of young people who are no longer protected under the foster care system through the 'University Student Education Expense Support Project' since 2001.

I didn't know she was that rich

[pppum.livejournal.com]

Omg hitting big with nonstop benefit her the most, from music bank mc and feels like she got pictorials here and there, also a few ads if im not wrong.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

yup, and I think they're managing their money right (i.e. their apartments are humble, etc.)

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

Arin's probably the richest ohmygirl member
she's the only on her group who got solo cf deals (any ggs member biggest oportunity to get individual royalties) and got herself a regular position on variety show ... $$$ only for herself

i bet she's even richer than some red velvet/gidle/twice/itzy members

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Even Twice? I'm sure all of Twice are (multi) millionaires at this point.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

twice doesn't have the individual activities tho... hell, even jeongyeon's mc gig was when she was rookie & i think they have more sponsors than actual cfs (just sana + dahyun have individual cfs, iirc)

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

But they went on many tours and touring is where the money is at.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

Nah, i doubt jype let their idols become millionaires

if you' re sm or yg idol touring, group events and oveseas promotion is great money for your group... but if you're a jpye artist 60% of events royalty goes to the company ,now imagine also split that 40% between 9 members



solo schedules royalty is the only money companies cant touch

why you think so many idols even the favorites like got7 members, suzy or taecyeon left jype and refuse to renew?? jype dont give idols a fair deal

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

But for example Suzy still made tons of money when she was under JYPE, she def was a millionaire.
Idk, I still believe that the Twice members are rolling in the dough.

And looking at that chart, YG pays their idols the most. You gotta give them that.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

Exactly , suzy is the one who proves right this theory: jyp cant touch solo schedule money
Suzy fortune comes from tons of endorsement deals and drama not from miss a activities, overseas tours or album sales

suzy is indeed a millionare because back in her hay days she got over 20 cf deals all by herself

This is I made suzy's cf list from from her debut 2010 until now 2016 pic.twitter.com/gtL166qwrN (https://t.co/gtL166qwrN)

before jennie, iu or seolhyun the first female idol called "cf queen" was suzy, she got solo cf deals when she was barely 16 and some of her endorsmenta lasted longer than miss a together lol

im sure jyp never expected suzy to make so much money on her own but i bet its linked to the fact current jyp female idols wont even try having solo schedule/cf deals (maybe on porpouse or forced by contract) unless its something jyp can put their hands on

i guess twice individual membes are making good money but not even close to suzy when jype did allowed their idols to get solo schedule and cf deals...

dont you find suspicious a group like brave girls got more cf deals from their casual viral success than twice in their hey days (circa cheer up and TT era)? im telling you jyp tricks their idols to not make money on their own

[pppum.livejournal.com]

Idt her individual gig worthed more than GG who had tourings..

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

Her face was whitened so much it looks flat and blank.



Good on her for donating to worthy causes.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

aww Arin baby , cant believe how fast you're growing 💕


i still remember all controversy around this song ,mv and lyrics when iu released it back in 2015 ... how dare any kpop female idol to sing about becoming a "moist adult woman" and use sexual innuendos in her mvs lolz

now 5 years later a cute it girl like arin can sing twenty three and nobody will call her a perv 🤣🤣

[myungung.livejournal.com]

I think the IU album was also plagued with innuendos, so it wasn't just the song. but at that time people were in a anti-IU sentiment because she was starting to hit the top I guess.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

yeah i remember the hate iu got for zeze too (especially? can't remember if any of the other songs got pushback like it) + at that time, people were rallying hard against “lolita” aesthetics... i remember park bogum getting hate for a shoot similar to some of the chatshire concept pics too lol

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

it was about this song too because she calls herself a fox which is the insult more people would use to attack her back then... that and "korean taylor swift" lol

even omona would compare iu with taylor swift in a way to slut-shame both of them

that's a really sweet cause and something that hits close to my heart, so all the more support for the in-betweeners. I remember being worried over the long term plans for such teens even before they hit 18, so I can see how important this will be. I don't love Arin's voice or her performance ability, but she really has that sweet and likeable vibe. at this point only the maknaes in OMG seem likeable

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

That's really sweet of her.
