The Wealthiest In The Industry: K-Pop Idols Who Have The Highest Net Worth In 2021
Almost all K-pop idols always start from the bottom. Humble trainees work hard every single day of their lives until their hard work is rewarded with a debut. This is every K-pop trainee's dream, and only some get the chance to debut.
In other cases, some debuts may not even guarantee success. But some are graced enough to walk away from the industry as millionaires.
K-pop entertainment companies such as JYP Entertainment, SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and many more are earning a lot of money from the industry, and the success of these companies ride on the backs of their idols. The more successful the idol, the more money the company earns, which in turn makes their earnings higher as well.
Aside from comebacks, idols earn their riches via investments, endorsements, TV appearances, films, and marketing. With that, seoulz did research to figure out the wealthiest K-pop idols and personalities.
