[theqoo] HOW MUCH YG SPENDS ON A TRAINEE IN 1 YEAR
Basic meal allowance + transportation + Japanese lessons + English lessons + acting lessons + debate lessons + fitness training
Total: 100 million won (65K USD)
*3 years trainee*
How much money has been invested in you so far?
“I thought it was 100 million won”
“But after hearing that’s what they spend in 1 year”
“Wow~”
Even the trainees themselves didn’t really know how much it cost (they estimated it themselves to be around 100 million won over 3 years)
He was shocked to find out it was 100 million won per year…
original post: here
1. I don’t think it will go up to 100 million won. Still, since YG excludes trainee investment costs from the settlement, I guess I should say it’s a relief… It must be really tough for idols from companies that start settlements with trainee investment costs included.
2. It’s probably mostly tuition fees, but I wonder if those calculations are right?
3. Over there, they even give you an allowance for maintaining your dignity
4. Looking at the YG kids’ skills, it doesn’t seem like they wasted their money. They seem to be worth it
5. Classes must make up most of it, so the cost is really that high?
6. Shouldn’t internal company training costs be excluded? I mean, even without excluding them, training plus beauty treatments wouldn’t amount to 4 million won a month at most. So how is the calculation for 100 million won a year?
7. If you consider it at 10 per hour, they easily reach 100 million won a year.
High school seniors in good school districts spend over 4 million won a month on tutoring and other expenses, and nearly 10 million won during vacations, so if you view it as trainee preparation for college entrance exams, it makes sense.
8. 100 million… wow. It’s a relief they don’t count that in the settlement. Everyone here is as skilled as the amount invested
9. If you consider expenses for vocals, dance, food, dermatology, transportation, gym/personal training, accommodation, Japanese, English, acting, debate, and maintaining a decent lifestyle, these costs don’t seem incomprehensible. Since these aren’t standard academy fees but mostly one-on-one sessions, they are bound to be much more expensive haha. Even standard gym/personal training easily exceeds 700,000 won a month ($500), after all
10. I’m an instructor, and if it’s Language + Intensive conversation class + 2 other languages… And if you add more things to it, I get the price
