Article: UEE "It's true that I make the most in After School... but I don't make 10 times more" explanation
Source: Newsen via Nate
UEE clarifies that she doesn't make 10 times more than the other After School members and that there's not a lot of difference anymore because their Japanese promotions are doing well.
1. [+159, -10] Seems like she's being humble... I don't think she'd be comparable to the other members because I'm sure she gets several hundreds of thousands with each CF she makes. On top of that, she does dramas.. Sounds like she's just trying to make sure the other members don't feel bad
2. [+144, -6] For a company as small as Pledis, they need a member like UEE that makes a lot of money so that the other artists and employees can have the funding for their own work. When idols make money from CFs or dramas, they split that with the company which the company uses to pay their staff.. and in Pledis' case, they probably use it to fund After School or Orange Caramel's albums and in discovering new talents like Hello Venus and NU'EST. UEE and Son Dambi are basically the reason Pledis has food to eat.
3. [+148, -46] Orange Caramel is more popular than After School lately so I don't think she makes 10 times more than them anymore. I wonder why After School gets ignored when Orange Caramel does so well?

ReplyDeleteplease translate this..thanks a lot!
I love her can't wait for her drama this november....
ReplyDeletebecause orange caramel is cute. korean loves cute.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of cute groups, but they don't all become popular.
ReplyDeletedepends on the member. compare uee to nana and there isnt a huge difference, but compare uee to eyoung or kaeun and the difference is probably 20x
ReplyDeleteUsed to thought she was boasting by saying her company gift her a new car instead of a van, and also about her salary. And also thought she was a complete .. when she was so close to jangwoo
ReplyDeletebut now I have to give her credits! Seeing that she worked so hard and probably "feed" the company, she still sticks with them! instead of maybe leaving to a bigger company?
yeah and jangwoo was close to her probably because during their mc moments he could see she's a humble and nice lady. Wow now I'm starting to like uee!
after school would be doing much better if they didn't mess with the members. THey should have just made orange caramel a separate group and promoted both properly.
ReplyDeleteouch man. even k-netizens are aware that oc's more popular than as. but yeah, as much as it sounds nice, i don't buy uee's answer though. she probably makes a lot more than the total of all pledis's artists income combined.
ReplyDeleteas for son dambi, lmao. she's probably pissed off that uee stole her wig and earns a lot more than her.
