Hey there, have you heard about the latest scoop involving BABYMONSTER member Ruka? It’s all about her spilling the beans on the group’s salary during a livestream, and let me tell you, it’s quite the eye-opener!
So, get this—the moment when the livestream was cut due to the members discussing their salaries was revealed!
Can you believe it? Talk about a juicy reveal! Anyway, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what Ruka had to say about their pay.
Apparently, the members of BABYMONSTER were having a candid chat about their current salaries, and Ruka didn’t hold back.
She mentioned that their salary is divided by a fixed amount, which determines their monthly earnings.
But here’s where it gets interesting—they also receive bonuses. Yes, you heard that right—bonuses!
Now, these ‘bonuses’ aren’t just handed out willy-nilly. They’re decided based on the success of their activities, as well as how much each member contributes individually.
It’s like a little extra reward for their hard work and dedication, you know?
But here’s the kicker—bonuses were usually not unexpected.
The members could pretty much figure out which activities garnered the bonus, and let me tell you, it really bumped up their salaries at times.
I mean, talk about a nice little bonus on top of their regular pay, right?
And here’s where it gets even more interesting. Ruka mentioned that for some rookie groups, bonuses alone received back then were way more than their current monthly salary.
Can you imagine that? It’s crazy to think about how much they must have earned from those bonuses alone!
But wait, there’s more. A senior employee from YG Entertainment even admitted that back in the day, K-Pop group members used to have a lot more work to do. Like, a ton more!
However, during the first few years when they were launching a group, the members’ motivation was just to become idols—they weren’t even thinking about the salary!
Now, here’s where it gets a little bittersweet. Ruka 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 sad to think about talented individuals leaving because they couldn’t make ends meet, you know?
Oh, and one more thing—back then, all members would receive New Year’s bonuses.
It was like a little extra something to kick off the year on a high note. Ah, those were the days!
So, there you have it—the inside scoop on BABYMONSTER’s salary talk straight from Ruka herself.
It’s always fascinating to get a glimpse behind the scenes of the K-Pop industry, don’t you think? Let’s keep our ears peeled for more juicy revelations!
