“I make a lot of money, it’s nice to live” Le Seraphim → ‘Han River View’ Sunny, ‘Supercar’ Jenny

In relation to the group Le Seraphim's comments such as "I earned quite a bit" and "I enjoy life" regarding settlement, the unique 'flex' of successful girl group members is attracting attention.

On the 25th, Le Seraphim members Kim Chae-won, Sakura, and Kazuha appeared on the SBS entertainment program 'Running Man'. On this day, Kim Chae-won and Sakura were asked about settlement, and Sakura answered, "I earned quite a bit." Kim Chae-won also gave an honest answer, saying, “I feel a little better about life now.”

In the case of Sakura, she has been active as an idol since Japan and has already celebrated her 14th year since debut. Sakura, who began her girl group activities through the Japanese girl group HKT48 in 2011, came to Korea and became a member of IZ*ONE through an audition program, and later signed with Source Music, a label under Hive, and became a member of Le Seraphim. Kim Chae-won is also the second member of a girl group with Le Seraphim, following IZ*ONE.

Interest in the girl group's income is increasing with the news that Le Seraphim, who debuted in May 2022 and has not completed two years, received a generous payment. The industry believes that Girls' Generation, representing the 2nd generation girl group, and Blackpink, the 3rd generation girl group, will have earned a large amount of income.

Among them, Girls' Generation's Sunny garnered envy by revealing an apartment with a panoramic view of the Han River through the E-channel entertainment program 'Sending Me to You' in November 2022. At that time, Sunny looked at the view of the Han River while holding a glass of beer and expressed satisfaction by saying, "It's a painting that makes me drink every day." In the case of Girls' Generation, almost all members, including Taeyeon and Yoona, are known to have considerable wealth.

Blackpink Jennie also boasts the highest level of income in Korea. In August of last year, he showed off his wealth by unveiling a luxury sports car from P, a high-end car brand that he personally participated in the design, through his SNS. In addition, it is reported that the profits of Blackpink members Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé are also the highest among existing girl groups.
