Hey there, have you heard about the latest buzz in the K-Pop scene? It’s all about BADVILLAIN’s senior member spilling the tea on their salaries during a livestream! Can you believe it?
The moment when the livestream was cut due to the members discussing their salaries was revealed! How much do they get paid?
Let’s dig into it.
So, during the livestream, the members got into a chat about their current salaries.
One of the senior members spilled the beans and mentioned that their salary is divided by a fixed amount, which determines their monthly earnings.
But here’s the interesting part—they also get bonuses!
How?
These ‘bonuses’ are decided based on the success of their activities and how much each member contributes individually.
It turns out that bonuses were usually not unexpected.
The members could pretty much figure out which activities garnered the bonus, boosting their monthly salaries at times.
And get this: for some rookie groups, the bonuses alone they received back then were way more than their current monthly salary.
Crazy, right?
But it wasn’t always like this. Then what?
A senior agency employee, Kim Jungeun, spilled some more tea, admitting that back in the day, BADVILLAIN members used to have a lot more work to do.
I mean, they were hustling like crazy. However, during the first few years when they were launching the group, the members’ main motivation was just to become idols.
They weren’t really thinking about the salary.
But here’s the kicker: Jungeun feels 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 tough out there in the K-Pop world, folks.
Oh, and get this: back in the day, all members would receive New Year’s bonuses too.
It was like an extra little treat to kick off the year.
But yeah, times have changed, and it seems like the financial landscape of being a K-Pop idol has evolved too.
So, there you have it—the inside scoop on BADVILLAIN’s salaries and bonuses.
It’s fascinating to see how much goes into it behind the scenes, isn’t it? Let me know what you think!
