(T/N: 10 billion KRW is roughly $9 million USD)
Their recent concert revenue was around 681 billion KRW and in 2019, a research company estimated that Blackpink’s individual income would be around 8~10 billion KRW. So, since then, they’ve been consistently earning money so would their personal wealth be over 100 billion KRW?
Jennie’s house is apparently 6.5 billion KRW so I wondered if their personal wealth is more than 10 billion KRW?
1. [+215][-8] Do you not know what Lisa said after being scammed around 1.8 billion KRW – you can just earn more money
2. [+139][-2] Honestly, 1 or 2 billion KRW isn’t as common as a dog’s name and it’s a f*ck ton of money but Jennie’s house costs 6.5 billion KRW and her bed costs a billion KRW. Not to mention the fact that Lisa nonchalantly said she can just earn more money when she was scammed by her manager… If they can easily spend that much money, they must’ve earned a lot… I think they have accumulated an amount well above 100 billion KRW
3. [+116][-6] Wow, they’ve only been around for 4 years but the fact that they have already earned over 10 billion KRW means that their earnings would be insane by the time they have been in the game for 7~8 years… The longer celebrities work for, the more expensive their value become so they’ll earn more and more money and will get a better ratio from their agency as they gain more years… Not to mention that YG’s revenue ratio is very favourable for artists, even for those who are relatively new and they give a higher proportion of the concert revenues to the artists. By the time they become seniors in the entertainment industry, I reckon their personal wealth will become massive… Obviously, it’s huge right now too
4 [+56][-0] Last year’s celebrities’ personal earning ranked BTS as 1st, Ryu Hyunjin as 2nd, Blackpink as 3rd and Son Heungmin as 4th and Son Heungmin earned 80 billion KRW in pure profits? The fact that Blackpink have earned more than Son Heungmin means that even if they divide it by 4, they would’ve earned more than 10 billlion KRW each – I reckon somewhere around 20~30 billion KRW. Judging by the fact that the Chinese media claiming that BTS members have earned more than 1 trillion suggests that Blackpink have earned somewhere around 300 billion KRW. I think the 2020 Forbes celebrity income ranking is similar to that of 2019
[Name: 1. BTS (singer)(total point: 373.6)(ranking in 2019: 2(+1))
2. Ryu Hyunjin (sportsplayer) (total point: 262.4)(ranking in 2019: 39 (+37))
3. Blackpink (singer)(total points: 240.2)(ranking in 2019: 1(-2))
4. Son Heungmin (sportsplayer)(total point: 168.5)(ranking in 2019: 9(+5))
5. Bong Joonho (Director)(total point: 95.6)(ranking in 2019: new))]
5. [+46][-4] If that’s how much Blackpink are earning, I wonder how much BTS are earning?
6. [+39][-0] Instead of ‘above 100 billion KRW?’, I think it should be ‘at least 100 billion KRW’…
7. [+39][-1] In the ranking of celebrities’ earning last year, Blackpink came in higher than Son Heungmin. Son Heungmin earned around 800 billion KRW so Blackpink would’ve earned more than that. Even if they divide it by 1/n, there are only 4 members so each of them must earn well over 100 billion KRW
8. [+38][-0] Even if we only consider the ads that Blackpink are currently involved in, there are 25 of them… Adidas, HERA, MAC, Dior Beauty, YSL Beauty, Miseenscene, Jentle Monster, Air Baked, O-Lens, Battle Ground, KT, Galaxy Note 20, Pepsi, First soju, KBank, AIS Thailand, Globe Telecom Philippines, Downy, Tokopedia, Chanel, Dior, YSL, Celine, Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Bvlgari. There is no way that they aren’t earning money – they aren’t small or mid-sized companies but are global companies or companies representing their countries and Blackpink are their models
Btw Jennie's house is 65B? Is this mistranslation? Isn't it 6.5B before
