It was recently revealed that, despite being very popular in all of Asia, Super Junior’s performance fee for variety shows remains low as a group. The fee charged per performance is approximately 209,000 won ($175 USD).
For shows with a more generous production team, Super Junior can make up to 417,000 won ($350 USD). However, this does not seem to proportionately represent Super Junior’s popularity. For singers who have not debuted for more than 5 years, they usually make approximately 167,000 won ($140 USD).
Along with this, it also revealed that Super Junior has always acted professionally during the filming of shows despite the low earnings. For example, an incident occurred during the filming of a recent episode of Dream Team when the filming had to pause for over 30 minutes due to technical difficulties. In order to entertain the audience during this period, members of Super Junior went to the crowd and began dancing and signing autographs, with Leeteuk acting as the MC.

Date: 2011-09-23 05:47 pm (UTC)According to reports, each time an artist makes a performance on stage for a music show, he/she gets around $200. The rate is identical for all three broadcasting stations – MBC, SBS, and KBS – and the actual fee differs based on the artists’ years of experience in the music field rather than their fame.

Date: 2011-09-23 05:47 pm (UTC)But I do remember Leeteuk and Shindong being the highest earners in SJ (ranked by one of them pop-shows, don't know the figures), so I guess it accumulates to something.

Yes, the problem is not the total pay per performance (that higher than average in fact), but they it will be divided in 8/9/10/-1/3/15/pick-a-number members.
I've heard that the real money is made in tv show appearances and photoshoots anyway.

Date: 2011-09-23 06:02 pm (UTC)which means everyone else basically earns lower than them, right? if so then i don't think that their amount of performance fees is a problem. that's just how it works imo

175US$? I can even afford them to a birthday party. Even for a date i guess.
And 350US$ is just silly!!!
Even a C grade bands (not boyband, but bands, like no brain, ftisland, etc) gain 1650US$ - 3300US$/performance in my country. That's minus the crew though..
