Do you guys think wonyoung and yujin have a seperate contract then the other members?

Quote from Rarami

Since they were already doing idols things before ive debuted.

Im sure they are getting paid more than the other members

wouldn't surprise me

Yes, lol.

At least if them or their parents are smart, which I have a feeling especially in Wonyoung's case, they were smart enough to know.

Probably, Yujin and Wy definitely earn more money as they have a lot of cfs but i wouldnt say the others are that far behind as all of them have deals, including in Japan.

Yes. Their contracts probably began in 2018 and would end in 2025, so it is likely that when they started at IVE a new contract, with more favorable terms, was signed

pretty sure they have

and if they don't they need better lawyers/negotiators

I have a theory and next year will either confirm or refute it

It is common for some Trainees to get Contracts but these are largely nullified when they get a Contract when they debut, so no, I don't think any of the IVE members have seperate contracts.

For instance, it is known that Nayeon, JiHyo, Sana and Jeongyeon had Trainee Contracts as they were supposed to debut for 6Mix. All had paid work as Trainees and were on Modelling Contracts.

Of course we know that Somi was on contract with JYPE as a Trainee because she was able to get it nullified so she could leave with no legal strings attached

I do think that Wonyoung and Yujin were likely able to negotiate more favorable terms for themselves. It's only logical. Contracts for newly debuted rookies with no experience or notoriety are always given less leeway because the company is trying to make back their investments. But Wonyoung and Yujin already made lots of money and gained lots of popularity prior to signing their artist contracts with Starship.
