Media report reveals exactly how rich top K-Pop idols are

Netizens are calling it as the main reason why everyone wants to become an idol after they have discovered the trending rise in “chaebol idols.” 

A recent report revealed that a number of idols have been investing their hard earned profits and royalties into properties with the trend being called as “chaebol idols.” Former TVXQ and JYJ’s Junsu, for example, owns a hotel and apartment, costing at least 37.3 billion won. One of the luxury complex he owns is in Jeju Island which boasts a romantic atmosphere with its Tuscan vibe and seasonal outdoor swimming pool. It opened to the public back in 2014.
