[NEWS] 110419 How Do Idol Group Members Get Paid?
With the plethora of idol groups out there on the scene, one can’t help but wonder: how much money do these “kids” make? Sure they gain popularity through their respective groups, but it’s a known fact that each and every member isn’t given the same amount of attention and gigs. And let’s say we focus on just one group member. Do they get to keep the money that they themselves worked for? Or do they have to split it among their other group members?
Let’s use Nickhun of 2PM as an example. He shoots an ice cream commercial here in Korea, followed by a beverage commercial shoot over in Thailand. Then he returns to Korea and does some appearances on variety shows, only to then star in a TV drama. Out of all those jobs, what will Nickhun be able to keep as pay? Well, the ice cream commercial in Korea will be equally divided among the five other 2PM members. However, Nickhun will be able to keep all of the pay from the Thailand commercial shoot. Variety program appearances also get divvied up among the others, though the drama pay will be pocketed by Nickhun entirely. This is according to the initial contracted agreement among the six members and JYP Entertainment. Nickhun must split everything with the exception of drama roles and jobs in his homeland, Thailand. Six members may seem like a lot, but what about some of the other idol groups out there with 9 members? 10? 13? The matter of pay presents a very complicated situation.
