Kapanlagi.com - Behind the success of every K-POP idol, there is always the role of the agency. In fact, there are many entertainment agencies in Korea that are willing to spend a lot of money to debut and promote their artists.

It is reasonable that when an artist finally succeeds, it indirectly boosts the success of the company or agency. Interestingly, some K-POP idols even have reached the peak of popularity and now have shares in the company that supports them.

From BTS to BIG BANG, here are some K-POP idols who are shareholders in their companies.

1. BTS

Apart from their works and achievements, BTS has recently attracted attention because they have been officially announced as shareholders of Big Hit Entertainment. It is reported that Bang Shi Hyuk, CEO of Big Hit Entertainment, has given 68,385 shares worth Rp115 billion to each BTS member.

Big Hit Entertainment shares were distributed to BTS to strengthen the business relationship between the two parties that has been established for 10 years.

 

2. Super Junior

In November 2015, SM Entertainment allowed its artists, including Super Junior, to have shares in the largest entertainment agency in Korea. These shares were then allocated by forming exclusive labels, such as SJ Label, which oversees Super Junior, but still under the umbrella of SM Entertainment.

3. BoA

Just like Super Junior, BoA also obtained the rights to purchase shares from SM Entertainment. A total of 21,120 shares owned by SM Entertainment were offered to 48 artists, including BoA and Super Junior. Both BoA and Super Junior received 680 shares from SM Entertainment.

4. Girls Generation (SNSD)

In addition to Super Junior and BoA, Girls Generation (SNSD) was also given ownership rights to shares from SM Entertainment. The number of shares offered was the same as Super Junior and BoA, which is 680 shares.

5. BIG BANG

Last but not least, there is BIG BANG who received shares from YG Entertainment. In 2014, Yang Hyun Suk gave 81,400 shares of YG Entertainment to 18 artists, including BIG BANG. At that time, this moment became the first time for an entertainment agency in Korea to distribute shares to its artists.

Those are some successful and wealthy K-POP idols who are able to become shareholders in the agencies that have made their names bigger. Who else among K-POP idols will follow their success?
