By contrast, the bottom 90% of actors earned an average of $5,500 USD for the year. (that’s only $460 per month!)

Hyun Bin was 2017’s 2nd highest-grossing actor.

The wage gap between top singers and models and their less well-known counterparts was almost equally enormous.

The top 1% of singers took home an average of $37 million USD for the year, while the bottom 90% earned only $7,700 USD.

EXO is consistently one of the highest earning groups in K-Pop.

Finally, Korea’s top models made, on average, $4.7 million USD as compared to the paltry $2,400 USD per year earned by the bottom 90% of models.
