Hey there, have you heard about the recent revelation from BNK48 senior member Cherprang Areekul? It’s pretty interesting stuff!
So, get this—the moment when the livestream was cut due to the members discussing their salaries was revealed!
Can you believe it? I mean, we’ve always been curious about how much they get paid, right?
Anyway, during the livestream, Cherprang spilled the beans about the members discussing their current salaries.
It’s not something we hear about every day, so you can imagine the buzz it created among fans.
According to Cherprang, the salary in BNK48 is divided by a fixed amount, which results in their monthly pay.
But here’s the kicker—they also receive bonuses! Yeah, you heard that right.
The ‘bonuses’ are decided based on the success of activities, as well as if members individually work harder and bring more success to the group. Pretty neat, huh?
And get this—bonuses were usually not unexpected. Members could figure out what activity garnered the bonus, which sometimes increased their salaries.
Can you imagine getting a nice little bonus on top of your regular pay? Sounds like a sweet deal to me!
Now, here’s where it gets really interesting.
Cherprang mentioned that for some rookie groups, bonuses alone received back then were way more than their current monthly salary.
Talk about motivation to work hard and succeed, right?
But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
A senior company employee admitted that back then, BNK48 members used to have a lot more work to do.
I guess success comes with its fair share of challenges, huh?
However, during the first few years of launching the group, the members’ motivation to keep going was simply that they wanted to be idols.
They weren’t even thinking about the salary! That’s some serious dedication right there.
Unfortunately, Cherprang also revealed that at times, the group has lost members because they couldn’t sustain a living from just being in the group and its salary alone.
It’s a harsh reality, but I guess not everyone can make it work, huh?
Oh, and here’s something interesting—all members would receive New Year’s bonuses back then.
It’s nice to see that they were appreciated for their hard work and dedication, even if it was just a little something extra at the end of the year.
So, there you have it—the inside scoop on BNK48’s salary system, straight from Cherprang herself.
It’s always fascinating to learn about what goes on behind the scenes, don’t you think? Let’s keep our ears to the ground for more juicy revelations in the world of Thailand showbiz!
