After 2PM recently revealed how they distribute their income on a variety program, fans have been showing increasing interest in the different ways their favorite idol groups choose to share their income. Individual member activities within idol groups have become quite prominent lately, and the popularity gaps between members can sometimes be huge.
Most of the groups let the members who embark on solo activities keep what they earn; groups like After School and Jewelry are known for allowing individually-earned profits to remain solely with the earner. UEE, Kahi, Park Jung Ah, and Seo In Young are often coveted for the advertisement appeal, which makes them the bigger money makers of the group.
“The members and the company came to an agreement when Park Jung Ah first started her solo activities that whatever she earned, she would keep for herself. Problems will definitely arise if she’s forced to share her income with other members, after staying up all night in order to procure it,” commented Ryu Jae Hyun, the CEO of Jewelry’s agency, Star Empire Entertainment.
He continued, “When there’s a disparity in the amount that they’re being paid, it makes the members that receive less want to work harder. There has to be a difference in pay in order for the members to listen and follow their managers’ directions.”
And what about the other agencies?
SM Entertainment, home to idol groups such as SNSD, Super Junior and f(x), also allow individual members to keep what they earn on their own.
