There are many questions about this profession, one of which is about the payment received by adult film stars. In a recently uploaded YouTube video, Baek Se Ri revealed the amount she received for appearing in adult films in Korea.

"I shot the film TWO MOTHERS in just one day, and I was paid 850,000 won (about Rp 10.7 million) for it," Baek Se Ri said, as quoted by Koreaboo.

According to Baek Se Ri, female actresses can earn between 850,000 won (about Rp 10.7 million) and 1 million won (about Rp 12.7 million) per day. Furthermore, Baek Se Ri revealed that the daily wage is the average in the adult film industry.

2. Men vs Women

It is also revealed that male actors actually earn less than half of the wages of female actresses in the industry. However, male actors are more flexible in accepting projects.

"Actors earn about half of the income of actresses. But for men, there are actually many people who work as freelancers without agencies, so they can earn more income," Baek Se Ri explained.

3. This is the reason

Regarding the large salary gap, Baek Se Ri stated the underlying reason. According to Baek Se Ri, women are paid more because there are not many who want to enter this industry.

"It is true that there is a large salary gap. But actually, there are many men who want to do it. On the other hand, there are rarely any female actresses," she concluded.
