(G)I-DLE’s Jeon So-yeon, known to be receiving up to 1 billion won in monthly royalties, revealed that it took her three years to pay off her debt.
On the 16th, a video titled ‘It took me 3 years just to pay off my debt. Mimi Minu sings the queen bee of karaoke in the corner of the room in front of (G)I-DLE’s Jeon So-yeon | Career Exploration Area EP.10’ was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Mimi Minu’.
When asked, “When did you decide to become an idol?” Jeon So-yeon answered, “I did think about other careers at times, but I think I really dreamed of becoming a singer since I was born. I felt like I would become a singer, and my desire to do so never changed.”
Then, when asked, “What is the most important ability for an idol?” he said, “If I were to put it simply in one word, it would be star quality. There are people who stand out when they dance, and there are people who are charming when they sing, when they are still, and when they talk. It is important to have that charm in some way.”
He said, “There was a question in the pre-questionnaire asking, ‘Which one makes the most money, advertisements or events?’ Singers make the most money when their songs and albums do well. If a song does well, the advertisement fee actually goes up.”
Regarding the case of entering the top ranks of the charts, he confessed, “I usually check it with copyright fees. When I’m in the top 100, I can eat, and when I’m in the top 100, I can live a little more comfortably. However, I don’t get a lot of money from being number one on a music chart. It’s not like a pension. Sometimes I get 1000 won.”
Jeon So-yeon explained about the public perception that “celebrities usually live well without working because they only have copyright income,” “If all income increases, copyright income naturally increases. However, copyright is 1 won per play, for example, and there are also music revenues taken by performers, non-performing performers, and companies, and revenues taken by music distributors. You have to divide and divide that. There are also times when there are several copyright holders. I think it would be around 3% of 1 won.”
While saying this, “The income varies greatly from singer to singer. Naturally, the contracts are different for each company, and I’ve heard that some companies require you to pay off debts, some companies will settle your debts, and some companies even say that a debut album is a gift,” he said, surprising everyone by saying, “When we were young, we had to pay off debts and we had to pay for trainees and debut costs. It took about three years? We were doing well when we first came out, but I think it still took three years.”
Meanwhile, Jeon So-yeon revealed on the web entertainment show ‘Countryside Cooking Operation’ on the 10th, “When I’m earning the most, I earn 1 billion won a month. When I’m not earning much, I earn 100,000 won.”
