Jangjun said: “I only earn money from my individual activities. Like this program today. »
There are some K-pop idols who can buy cars and houses for their families, but not all K-pop groups, as Golden Child’s Jangjun recently revealed.
As the boys are currently holding their first U.S. tour, a pre-recorded episode of KBS’s “The Money School” featuring Jangjun was released on July 3, where he talked about group earnings and his individual earnings.
When asked if he earns any income from the group’s activities, the Golden Child member said no. Despite debuting in 2017 and entering his sixth year of career, Jangjun shared that he didn’t receive anything the group earned from promotions.
The K-pop idol explained: “I only earn income from my individual schedules like this program today. » The hosts were even more surprised when he added that he started having solo activities in 2019 and it was his first time earning money.
Jangjun also added that her mother manages her income and works in the real estate business, which is why she is good at it.
Jangjun then concluded: “I haven’t yet taken stock of what my mother has done with my earnings. But I heard in passing that something was left out, with a phrase like ‘For my son when he gets married’.”
But the Golden Child star’s revelations have sparked debate as fans wonder where the band’s money is going. In the past, fans have compared the distribution of label profits with agencies like SM getting 95% of the profits from physical sales while Starship Entertainment gives 80% of the profits to their artists.

But with Jangjun pointing out that he didn’t even receive a portion of the profits his group made, fans are confused.
