Just shows why everyone's so damn eager to get into Japan, because even if they flop popularity wise they'll still make as much or more money in Japan as the do in Korea. I read somewhere the average salary for idols is like 23k/yr, which is like minimum wage...Japan market is so much bigger it doesn't matter if they don't top charts 2pm/Big Bang/SNSD/KARA style, they'll still make so much more money. | ||

I muted the second vid and spammed the repeat on the Ji sook part. Also, even tho they go to Japan, stars still get jack shit I think, just look at KARA. | ||

You cannot really compare to the US... where money means everything, and everyone is richer. I can't imagine Korea is as materialistic. If they aren't making much, they obviously don't care or they would do something else... Unless every occupation in Korea is as low, in which case it doesn't matter. | ||

To hear Korean people talk on this forum, Korea is every bit as much or more materialistic than the US is. If you have reason to say otherwise I'd be interested to know. The reason they do it is cause they make on par with office workers, which isn't bad, and I'd imagine that years of staying up until 3am to train and skip school means they don't have much of a future in education either. You also have to remember that not all groups make it big initially; KARA spent 2 years in obscurity before becoming popular, and now they're arguably the number 2 or 3 girl group in Korea today, and certainly the top Korean girl group in Japan. Wanting to be famous proabbly also is a factor; why make slightly more in a dead end job where you can make almost as much and be famous? | ||
