[instiz] WOW… IT’S SO FASCINATING HOW ADOR MADE MORE MONEY THAN SOURCE MUSIC

So, does that mean NewJeans making more than LE SSERAFIM, who are working so hard they’re even releasing albums, even though they’re just sitting around? Are digital music royalties really that powerful…?

1. Aren’t advertising and event revenues the biggest sources of income?

2. ㅋㅋWho cares?

3. What else is there besides music that makes them money???

4. Interesting

5. Everyone is turning a blind eyeㅋㅋ Even though they know full well

6. I’m living abroad, and I keep hearing NewJeans’ songs playing in restaurants, bars, and cafes, the money they make from commercial music licensing is definitely nothing to sneeze at. The truth is, no matter how popular K-pop is, it’s still considered somewhat niche, but NewJeans have crossed that line

7. When calculating an artist’s earnings, you need to look at revenue, what the artist takes is considered an expense. The amount remaining after paying the artist from revenue is operating profit, while net profit is a concept that includes income earned from sources outside the core business, such as real estate. Therefore, the key figures are revenue and operating profit

8. NewJeans’ results on music charts and physical sales are still steadily good

9. Don’t NewJeans still have a few songs in the top ranks of the music charts? They’ve been there for almost years now… I guess that’s why their music revenue is so high

10. When was this? If it was when the team made its debut, the year was in the negative so timing is crucial no?
