1. [+1,030, -35] Never worry for celebrities

2. [+1,028, -65] That's honestly not a small amount of money. Speaking objectively, people in the work force who sell cars or insurance barely make a percentage of their sales... They make a ton compared to the normal salary in society. And I bet you 100% in a few years that they're going to be making enough to buy homes, buy buildings, and drive luxury cars... Their income is not something for stupid fangirls living off of allowance money from their parents to be worrying about.

3. [+834, -41] They actually made a lot more than I thought

4. [+120, -18] So they make 300 million won a year and they were complaining like that in front of staff who probably barely make 2 million won a month? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+96, -21] All that whining when they actually make a lot ㅋㅋ

6. [+90, -11] That's a lot of money to be making in such a short time at their age... They talk as if they barely make anything... talking like that only makes the rest of us feel like sh*t...

7. [+79, -11] They make 300 million won a year and they're whining about money... idiots

8. [+74, -9] Making 300 million won in 6 months isn't a small amount... I'm thinking they're wanting more because they're a lot more famous now than they thought they'd be... why else would they have issues with their pay?

9. [+56, -0] They're not like a normal idol group where the pay is divided between one agency but several agencies so of course they're going to be paid less than others

10. [+49, -11] They'd all be unemployed if they were under their no name agencies and yet they're still whining

1. [+1,365, -215] Please don't put '300 million won' in the title when we haven't even confirmed what the agreement between each member and their agency is in terms of income division. Isn't it normally 7:3? Which is then split again if you're under the same agency... The income division is weird considering Wanna One has shot so many CFs already and sold so many albums with a schedule so tight that you have to wonder if they're sleeping at all... I don't think what they're earning is a lot compared to how hard they're working at all.

2. [+1,266, -136] Let's not comment on it unless we're actually seeing the numbers in their bank accounts..

3. [+1,158, -146] Goes to show that agencies are basically making free money without having to lift a finger. So sick of agencies shielding themselves over everything.

4. [+1,076, -101] And yet how many of the members are in fair 5:5 contracts with their agencies? And why are people comparing their income to not other peers in the industry but to salaries in big corporations? ㅋㅋ How is it justifiable to say that they're "actually making a lot" by comparing their salaries to irrelevant industries?

5. [+1,012, -117] Wow, actually makes me wonder how much CJ and YMC's cut is in all of this~ they're really raking in free cash~ It's going to be sad for them to let these contracts go~

6. [+348, -25] This damn agency never puts out a word in defense of their artists but they're quick to defend themselves over pay claims. This pay estimate isn't accurate because this number is divided in half again in the cases of members who are under the same agency. Daehwi, Woojin, Daniel, Jisung... they were all trainees, do you all really believe that they're being paid 5:5? It's probably closer to 8:2...

7. [+319, -25] Why would anyone actually believe that a trainee is being split 5:5 with their agency?

8. [+298, -25] Why is YMC being like this? Not one word from them during the whole scandal but they're quick to make excuses for themselves. What a mess.
