Here’s how much money the top Korean celebrities made so far in 2017



Celebrities make a lot of their income through CFs. Here’s how much some of Korea’s most popular celebrities have made so far in 2017.

An industry insider posted a report of the earnings of the top Korean celebrities in an online community and the alleged earnings from just CFs in the first 3 months of 2017 are staggering.

Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, stars of the massively popular Descendants of the Sun, are considered two of Koreas top celebrities at the moment and their earnings this year definitely reflect that. They have reportedly earned over ₩2 billion KRW (~ $1.78 million USD) in just the first quarter of 2017.

Coming in a close second are Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho, who have already earned ₩1.5 billion KRW ($1.34 million USD) this year.

The third highest paid celebrities so far this year should come as no surprise as they consist of 3 of K-Pop’s biggest acts and Lee Kwang Soo. BIGBANG, EXO, SHINee, and Lee Kwang Soo have all brought in ₩1 billion KRW (~ $893,000 USD) in 2017.

Certainly no slackers, the 4th best paid Korean celebs have all raked in ₩900 million KRW ($804,117 USD) in just the last 3 months and they are G-Dragon, Suzy, and Park Bo Gum.

The reported earnings for other idols including TWICE, Taeyeon, I.O.I, and BTS can also be seen on the list.
