How much does Girls' Generation earn?

[unreal.livejournal.com]

If there is one thing that the public is curious about, it has to be celebrities' earnings because of the rarity of which they is mentioned. However, there are celebrities who drop hints at their salary, and Girls' Generation is one of them.

Girls' Generation made an appearance on "Happy Sunday" awhile ago, where member Yuri commented, "We split event fees equally nine ways. The person who earns the most is probably the member who does the most advertisements."

tvN "eNEWS" dug deeper in analyzing the nine members' individual intakes. According to "eNEWS," Jessica and Tiffany -- who acted in musicals "Legally Blond" and "Fame" respectively -- earned 3 million won (approximately 2,600 USD) per performance, totaling 30 million won over ten performances.

Taeyeon earned approximately 318 million won over her two years as a radio DJ and through her musical performances (radio DJs earn about 4 hundred thousand won per day).

The youngest member Seohyun comes in with about 400 million won because of her various activities as a model (models earn about 200 million won per advertisement).

Lastly, Yoona has pocketed something in the vicinity of 3.4 billion won through her personal activities in dramas and advertisements (approximately 1 billion won for her drama appearances and 2.4 billion for her six advertisements).

As a group, they brought in 60.1 billion won ($53.9 million USD) through their Japanese activities alone.

OMG go Yoona! Haters gonna hate, but she's making bank!

And I'd like to think that even members without as much solo gigs, like Hyoyeon, do just fine. They're freaking SNSD. Shitloads of Group activities add up to a lot of money, even after all the cuts and 9-way splits.

Holy shit Yoona! O_O

They could earn a lot but how much they get at the end?

[pistachier.livejournal.com]

I got the money, money, don't you worry let's party.

[blkjck.livejournal.com]

do they keep the money they make via dramas and endorsements or does that go to SM?

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I think they keep 60% of their endorsements plus a bill for the costs. Their musical activities I doubt they keep much though.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

also fuck, if yoona makes that much how much makes uee? because last time i heard she was banking more than yoona. damn gurls, get it.

[untrueo.livejournal.com]

Shoot, I want to see Taeyang's and T.O.P.'s earnings. Can noone tell me what type car Taeyang drives? No one knows.

[sayuai.livejournal.com]

O__O....

[izabera.livejournal.com]

I wish we had a list of estimated earnings for all the kpop idols.

I've always been curious how much (or how little) the less popular ones get, since some people claim it's less than the average office worker salary.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

i remember kibum said in one of his interviews after leaving u-kiss that they got 600-700 million won per person for the chicken cf they did

knowing that u-kiss is one of the least popular groups in korea the more popular ones must get a lot more

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

so.. how much is that in €?

[flu-n-c.livejournal.com]

Yoona earned about 2 mill € , I believe .

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

how much do they keep tho

[askbask.livejournal.com]

Most of the moola mentioned here they'll keep. The interesting part would be hearing how much they get from album/ticket sales, though.

[joba-grota.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure they earn more! And wow.. Yoona.. I'm not really surprised.

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

get it yoona! even if they actually get to keep even 5% of that, its still a ridiculous amount


aka more than I will be making for a LONG time (screw you grad school debt)

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

OMG 2M € ? YoonA is rich.

But I guess Lee So Man has a happy wallet too.

[bestsama.livejournal.com]

hyoyeon was able to buy a car and a house for her parents, and she has the least amount of solo activities

it's safe to say snsd get paid

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

yeps

[rurutia88.livejournal.com]

the question is how much did those money actually get in their pocket?

[mentality34.livejournal.com]

iirc, they get to keep most of the money (at least 70-80%?) that they make from these activities

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

Go Yoona! I really want to know how much does GD earn, what with his advertisements and royalties from songs.

[t8l8.livejournal.com]

I don't know how true this is but it was rumored on Japanese boards that he can make up to $6-7 million in a year from CFs, royalties, concerts and other BB activities.

[mazical-djinni.livejournal.com]

unnirs r so rich ;~;

[cast-no-shadow0.livejournal.com]

It's interesting that they only split event fees (does that mean group appearances?). I know some groups like Beast share all the money from their activities. Except Junhyung's composing, which he keeps.

I wonder how it is with groups like T-ara, who have a couple members who are waaaay active (Jiyeon and Eunjung) and the rest don't have as many jobs.

[t8l8.livejournal.com]

Regarding T-ara, all I know is if someone gets a solo CF, they split it 7 ways but the member who originally got the deal gets a higher percentage. The actresses probably get to keep their acting fees. That seems to be standard practice among most companies since acting is hard work.

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

Yoong unnir rakin' in the dough. Sunny should be earning some soon too since she has at least 20 performances for the Catch me if you can musical.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

Taeyeon obviously gets paid in dookongs.

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]
