I thought they didn’t do that anymore these days, but apparently, many still do. After their contract renewal, they changed it so individual activities are now individually accounted.
Comments:
- That kind of contract condition really needs to go, it's so weird...
- REPLY TO 1-> Yeah, I thought it changed too, but seems like more groups still split everything than I thought...
- Before contract renewals, it seemed like all idols did that...
- REPLY TO 3-> Yeah, after the contract renewal, they switched to individual settlements. I saw that on "The Manager".
- Huh, why…
- Can’t believe some still do that.
- Usually in the first contract it’s like that. They change it upon renewal.
- Wait, even individual activities? That’s crazy.
- We were also under Cube, but even a few years before renewal it was already individual accounting. Maybe because (G)I-DLE didn’t do much solo stuff?
- REPLY TO 9-> Maybe... but on "The Manager", Soyeon said that group income was way higher than her royalties, so yeah...
- Normally if a group gets popular, they switch to individual settlements even before renewal. But I guess Cube didn’t do that? Did other groups?
- What solo activities did (G)I-DLE even do??? Shuhua’s YouTube? Soyeon’s survival show?
- REPLY TO 12-> There were a lot.
- REPLY TO 12-> Yuqi probably earned a ton from her Chinese activities.
- REPLY TO 12-> Foreign members usually do solo work in their home countries too.
- REPLY TO 12-> (G)I-DLE shot a lot of personal ads too… it varied by member though.
- REPLY TO 12-> Just look at Miyeon — wasn't she ranked #1 in idol schedules in 2021 or 2022?
- Oh... they probably made a lot in China.
- Wow, Yuqi must have made a fortune. I remember hearing she made more from her Chinese activities than Soyeon did from royalties — and that’s included in the shared split??
- Maybe it’s because they’re from a mid-sized company?
- REPLY TO 20 -> My faves are from a mid-sized one too... I hope they’re not splitting individual activity income like that;;
- But this group actually had more individual activities than you'd think.
- I heard Yuqi has a separate agency in China. Soyeon and Miyeon did a lot in Korea. Especially Miyeon...
- All five were super active in personal work like variety shows and ads, so I can’t tell who would be at a loss. Yuqi probably got paid separately for her China gigs.
- Yuqi and Shuhua both had separate agencies in China and were really active solo. So it’s hard to say who lost out.
- Since all 5 were busy with personal work — composing (Soyeon), Chinese gigs (Yuqi), tons of TV appearances (Miyeon), Thai promotions (Minnie), and solo gigs (Shuhua) — it doesn’t really look like anyone got short-changed.
- Oh it said (G)I-DLE? I thought it was just "idols" in general lol. Other groups had this too — remember when variety show regulars were called “the breadwinners” of the group?
- Wow, Yuqi must’ve made so much money...
- I guess in debut contracts, since they don’t know who will blow up, they set it up like that...
- Oh, I assumed that was normal. Now that they’ve renewed their contract, it’s changed. Don’t most groups split solo earnings at debut?
- Maybe they do that to keep the team bound together?
- That would seriously piss me off.
- REPLY TO 32-> It’s not even about who’s losing or gaining, but just the fact that your hard-earned money is going into someone else’s account... that’s just kinda off lol.
- Wow… they’re all so niceㅜ
- That’s a bit much.
- But isn’t that common in first contracts? Then they change it when they renew.
- REPLY TO 36-> Yeah, I think it’s because they don’t know who’ll succeed at first.
- Maybe they split it equally to pay off trainee and debut costs quicker — if it’s individual, some will pay off debts and others won’t.
- Cube even split the debt evenly before, so I bet this was a group decision after discussing it.
