Previously, one Korean netizen has made a guess on Black Pink down payment. They guessed that the Black Pink’s down payment for the renewal contract with YG would up to 10 billion won. (approximately 7.51 million USD) It was not just made without evidences, but it was a speculation with a basis. To read how the person made the number, CLICK HERE and see the basis.
How Did Koreans react to Black Pink down payment?
How did Koreans react to the speculation on Black Pink down payment? Before translating the comments, the first thing to explain is that everyone seems to take the person’s conjecture as fact, and they were talking about the length of the renewal contract.
- Isn’t that too cheap? They’re BLACKPINK.
- I think it’s too cheap. BLACKPINK’s loyalty to the agency is amazing. Is the contract 99:1 or 100% Blackpink profitable?
- Didn’t they sign the contract in the second half of last year? so it may only include the down payment of the first quarter. I don’t think BLACKPINK would have renewed the contract for 7 years.
- I bet it would not be 7 years with YG
- Maybe it’s because I don’t know much… There’s a lot of public opinion that celebrity appearance fees are ridiculously expensive these days, but the down payment seems to be different…
- (reply to upper comment) Black Pink Tour revenue was 350 billion won, last year alone. I think Black Pink signed a contract cheaply considering YouTube, albums, and advertisements and the defense of stock prices.
- Mostly renewal contract with YG was 5 years, so I think it would be 5 years.
- As they just do group works with YG, and individual activities by themselves, so I don’t think it is “too cheap” payment.
- I bet they gave a big amount of down payment, they would do world tour for sure! (she seemed happy for it, as she added happily laughing sound at the end)
- I think it’s 10 billion because I only signed a group contract as they will probably take the advertising revenue separately.
So people were having different opinions on the down payment, but no one was saying it was too much for the members. How do you think about it?
