LOONA YeoJin recently admitted on Fab, the artist’s fan site, that she has no income or income. Twitter user @litell Johnn shared an English translation of the singer’s Fab talk on Friday, September 23, 2022. Responding to a fan’s comment that she’s lucky to be rich , the female K-pop star admitted in the conversation that the opposite is true. .
YeoJin, 19, later said that she still hasn’t been paid. She replied “since debut”, when asked how long it has been delayed. On September 27, a Reddit member reported this to the thread r/kpop Thoughts. Blockberry Creative is in charge of LOONA (BBC). They officially debuted in 2018, however, they first made their public debut through a series of series from 2016 to 2018. If her salary has been withheld since her debut in 2016, the idol worked without pay for more than six years.
Unpaid LOONE YeoJin reminds netizens of the brutal reality of K-pop.
Being an idol is a full-time career that covers some expenses like accommodation, food, transportation, medical treatment, songwriting, marketing, video production, etc. That is, new organizations (especially those not affiliated with well-known corporations) start with limited budgets and spend years without earning a dime.
LOONA from Blockberry Creative is one of them. Recently, Paint the Town organization has made headlines for a variety of reasons, including health issues, certain members refusing to go on world tours, etc. fans that the company allows the girls to relax, it continues. LOONE YeoJin recently admitted to fans that she has earned nothing since her debut. The backlash came when a fan complimented her handbag saying it was cool and showing off her wealth. Another fan asked if she could say it out loud, and she said sure. She replied:
“Actually, I’m a bit depressed… But there’s nothing I can do about it, it’s true…”
One fan expressed relief that she was finally able to relieve stress and share such an important and sensitive topic with her followers. YeoJin then responded by saying:
“I’m fine too!” Now it takes a lot of courage.”
Meanwhile, fans are torn between concern for YeoJin and anger towards the agency. It’s not fun to see LOONA continue their global tour despite some setbacks, but fans recognize that concerts are a significant source of money.
Blockberry Creative made headlines last year for its mounting debt and inability to pay its long-term obligations. LOONA is rumored to disband. Fans were so desperate that they mocked Elon Musk and asked him to save the group. However, the gang managed to turn the tide. On June 20, 2022, the 12-member group released their summer special EP, Flip That. They are currently on tour for LOONATHEWORLD, which has been postponed for four days.

Okay, anyone surprised by this needs to hear about how K-pop gigs usually work. They are often nicknamed “contract slaves” because of their level of cruelty and exploitation. (And for vulnerable minors who don’t know what they’re getting into.) (Continued…)
