Hey there, have you heard about the latest tea in the K-Pop scene? ARTMS member Choerry spilled some interesting beans about the group’s salaries during a recent livestream.
Yeah, you heard that right—the moment when the livestream was cut due to the members discussing their salaries was revealed!
Can you believe it?
So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of it all.
Choerry mentioned that their salary is divided by a fixed amount, which determines their monthly paycheck.
Pretty standard stuff, right?
But here’s where it gets juicy—they also get bonuses!
These bonuses aren’t just handed out randomly, though.
They’re based on the success of their activities and how hard each member works to bring in that success.
And get this—bonuses aren’t exactly a surprise for the members.
They can usually figure out which activities led to the bonus, which sometimes results in a nice little boost to their salaries.
I mean, who doesn’t love a little extra cash in their pocket, am I right?
But here’s where things get really interesting.
Choerry spilled the tea that for some rookie groups, bonuses alone back then were way more than their current monthly salary.
Can you imagine that?
It’s crazy to think about how much the industry has changed over the years.
And it’s not just Choerry dishing out the deets.
A senior MODHAUS Entertainment employee, Kim Jeun Anh, came forward to admit that back in the day, K-Pop group members had a lot more work to do.
But here’s the kicker—during the first few years of launching a group, the members’ main motivation was just to become idols.
They weren’t even thinking about the money!
But now, things have shifted.
Choerry mentioned that some members have left the group because they couldn’t sustain a living from just their salary alone.
It’s a harsh reality check, but it goes to show how important financial stability is, even in the glamorous world of K-Pop.
Oh, and here’s a little tidbit for you—all members used to receive New Year’s bonuses back then.
It was like a little cherry on top of their regular bonuses, you know?
But hey, times change, and it looks like the industry is evolving along with it.
So, there you have it—the inside scoop on ARTMS member Choerry’s revelations about salaries in the group.
Who would’ve thought that discussing money could cause such a stir?
But hey, that’s K-Pop for you—always full of surprises!
