    Lol the shade and 4th gen is finally starting to leave it's mark :peperich:

    Awkward so jyp really are the company king of ads.... Yikes!...

    It has nothing to do with ads. I suppose they are counting the idols own channels, not the companies' channel. And JYP doesn't use ads on the stuff their idols release on their own channel. But I don't know what is the criteria for that, nor I care. So whatever.

    My comment wasn't sent, let me try again.

    That's why I said I don't understand the criteria and It seems they didn't make It clear, but I'm missing something so someone can correct me. I read the article and they mentioned the Idols own channels, not Hybe's or SM's for example. But to be honest with you, I've never thought Forbes Korea was that reliable.

    they subtract the ads

    aespa there because they have a few paid-advertising content like givenchy

    The Soloist exception to Kpop idol group rules.


    WhyKnock will say she gets to keep most of that 1.4 million, whereas BTS after HYBEs cut and 7 way split, might end up getting less than her, per person.

    This doesn’t have to do with ads, I’m pretty sure they are talking about their own channels. Hybe groups have their own channels and none of them have their MVs on their personal ones, so automatically Ads are ruled out.

    This isn’t even right. The BTS channel does not contain their MVs so already they are being handicapped

    This list is off and doesn't make sense. How is twice not here but aespa is?? And bambam over all those groups, even outdoing blackpink individual channels??

    1. idk about Twice but JYPE definitely doesn't go overboard with ads on SKZ
    2. Both Stray Kids and Twice have their main MVs uploaded to JYPE's channel, their own channels are used for other content

    Even on the photo Lee Jieun's picture is the largest
