Display Moredepends on the idol of course but there are many popular idols but they generally branch out into different elements of the entertainment industry...
for example have you heard of SHE? or TF Boys? or F4?
but singing and selling songs is not as profitable as the other money earners such as acting or variety shows...
variety shows regulars make a killing....

Variety shows as in fixed cast members would make more than a successful idol?? Idk any cpop idols but say the equivalent of someone like a bp or twice member. So like a regular kpop idol life with music sprinkled with a few variety shows( no solo work) is less profitable than being a variety show guest?
How much is usually the normal shelf life of idols like him?? Like will he have to graduate from idol stuff to acting or he can still pursue his idol career as long as he wants?

Daniel's right tho... Lay is a member of the kpop group Exo....I used to make this between idols both for fun and seriously in the old forums and they came under the kpop section because they were kpop idols I was comparing asian/foreign celebs with....

We are derailing your thread.
This forum has different subsforums from the previous one.
None of these celebrities are korean and the thread doesn't belong to k-lounge. But they are asian so it belongs to asian entertainment. Which is why it was moved there

$15.2 M per season 
Chinese idols should start aiming for varieties instead of solo careers wow.

$15.2 M per season

and that's why the chinese variety scene is truly a top money earner...along with acting in dramas...(especially if one is top notch)
that's why I've always said that the lucrative market in China is not for merely singing but the variety scene plus CFs...they make a killing from their non-core activities...
