japan 324 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Is anyone surprised? I think most new or relatively new idol groups have yet to break even (if they do, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananabrows 2,169 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Is anyone surprised? I think most new or relatively new idol groups have yet to break even (if they do, that is). Nah. It's sad to hear it directly from an idol though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mochichan 12,341 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 They'll never break even at this rate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abraa 1,118 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Have they yet to break even? The group itself? Most likely not. Tia has done some modeling, but not sure if it's made them enough to compensate for what has been spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryokonicheiress 5,833 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It happens with the over saturation of so many groups. Korea's market is really tiny for all the groups that are out there and keep debuting. Even in the US you don't see as many groups out as they have in Korea considering the sizes of the countries. It's tough. Hopefully they'll (and other groups in the same state) start making something soon, and find some sort of lucrative job when they leave the idol life.

sane 16,342 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This isn't remotely surprising. Even big artists usually don't make that much money. Sad reality for Kpop idols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candykiss 2,124 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Boyfriend too http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2013/02/boyfriend-reveals-they-havent-been-paid.html Article: '2 years since debut' Boyfriend "We've earned 0 in income because we've never broke even"Source: News 24 via NaverMC Tak Jae Hoon: On the topic of money, when was the most income Boyfriend made since your debut?Boyfriend: We never broke even so we haven't made an income yet. For the Lunar New Year, our CEO instead gave us allowance money of $1,000 USD per member to tell us that we did a good job. 1. [+186, -3] Every promotion cycle, there are several hundreds of thousands that are lost in expenses from music video filmings and whatnot so it's difficult to make an income under such circumstances. Boyfriend is only lasting this long because they seem to have some semblance of a response in Japan. Female idols can break even by performing at events but the competition's tough lately because of the economy. Rookie idols have to break their backs performing at events in order to even see an income.2. [+135, -7] I'm not that familiar with male idol groups but I do know that children seem to like this group a lot so it surprises me that they haven't been being paid. Are they sure they're not being frauded?3. [+126, -0] Just because you're an idol doesn't mean you make a lot of money. They barely make more than a salaryman's one month's pay. Popular idols make a lot of money but that gets put back into expenses like food, transportation, etc. 4. [+142, -1] Am I the only one reminded of Block B;; They paid for their stage outfits themselves. At least Boyfriend gets an allowance... Makes me realize the importance of joining the right company.5. [+143, -33] You gotta promote something to make money... What have they promoted... actually, who are they...???6. [+133, -1] I'm sure their company isn't in the reds since they have SISTAR and K. Will. SISTAR has a lot of CFs they've been doing. 7. [+115, -1] So if a company doesn't make more than what they've invested, they don't pay their employees... What a weird set up.8. [+72, -8] Hul, I pity them..9. [+62, -7] So since $1 million was invested in B.A.P., they're not getting paid until they make that $1 million back... Hul........ damn...10. [+57, -3] Too many fu*king idols ã…¡ã…¡ Just disband all of the groups that aren't breaking even... The music industry is rotting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeslin 217 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 omg thats so rude to ask about incomes and stuffs :/ and yeah if the money their company invested on is still smaller than the money they earn while promoting,they won't get anything :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michio 7 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Well they haven't really done much to make enough money. I still don't see why they haven't gotten paid for what little they have done. These companies are skeevy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
