And I'm back from the dead to bring you some DBSK ♥

Trusting that everyone remembers srennuj's post about BB earnings , have a look at this:



Um. Yeah I don't understand Korean either. -_-;;; BUT THANKFULLY SOMEONE ON THE INTERWEBS DOES:

CD Sales from Korea and Japan added together was about $5,392,000 USD taking out payment for the composer/producing/company. The money DBSK themselves made, they sold 674,000 records this year. 1 album from Korea and rest Japan. (But it might not be accurate because CD cost is different in Japan then the cost of CD in Korea so probably they made around 6 or 7 million.)

Made $29,000,000 in just concert venue NOT INCLUDING KOREA.. (Only stats from japan, china, Taiwan.)

Have circled 60 times around the globe by airplane.

CF/sponsoring $800,000 dollars each guarantee as spokes models…

They've made 31M 792 thousand USD dollars in 2008 alone +/- upcoming money,sponsors, extra CD sales. This is just so far.

dancedancedance I'M UP FOR ADOPTION YOU KNOW. YAH, OPPAS. ME. HERE. ADOPT A MALAYSIAN CHILD TODAY!

Just did the math:

31,792,000,000 W = $21,566,819

If they have a standard contract for a Korean artist they get 20% and the company gets 80%:

6,358,400,000 W = $4,311,363

Then split that between the 5 and they each get:

1,271,680,000W = $862,272

Also the company usually pays for all expences out of the 80% that they take.

Well it's nice to know that I somehow contributed to the boy's new hot tub/BMW/branded undies. :D But there's a bit of speculation hanging around the 20/80 split since we don't actually know if DBSK is under the standard contract and are most probably, as of right now, in a position to request better terms.

knowing SM, **better** terms will be something like 20.5/80 >.>

And moving on, I want to get me some of that:
