[News] G-Dragon gets paid more than composer Jo Yeong Soo for copyright of his songs

On the July 13 episode of MBC’s Goldfish- Radio Star, B2ST’s Jun Hyung was revealed to be the highest-income member of his group. When asked about the pay he gets for composing a song, Jun Hyung said, “It’s more than enough.”

But it turns out that Big Bang’s G-Dragon gets paid more than Jun Hyung.

In April, Big Bang’s youngest member Seungri mentioned that his group’s lasting life on TV is due to its high income. He said, “I strongly believe that it’s more stable for a group to live a long life on TV if it gets extra income other than simply giving performances on the stage. G-Dragon gets paid for copyright of songs he has composed, T.O.P does movies or drama series, and Taeyang releases his solo album and does concerts. I also wanted to have a fixed income other than Big Bang to keep my career stable, so I’m managing ‘Seungri Academy’ for would-be singers.”

Seungri’s saying made viewers curious of how much it would cost for G-Dragon to compose a song. Soon enough, Seungri revealed G-Dragon’s income in a specific number.

On May 12, Seungri said on M. net’s Beatles Code, “G-Dragon gets paid the highest in the field of composing songs. He even gets paid more than composer Jo Yeong Soo. There are about 120 songs listed in G-Dragon’s name. He has written songs for Big Bang, as well as his own solo album, Taeyang, 2NE1 and Uhm Jung Hwa.”
