And within the last year or so, BTS has partnered with enormous brands including a major fashion brand, yet another athletic footwear brand, and a wellness appliance company. On top of that, they’re also sweeping the domestic advertisement front, endorsing everything from a major chewing gum brand to a famous ice cream chain! But how much do they get paid for all this, you ask?

Well now, according to reporter Kim Jae Heun from The Korea Times, BTS earns a staggering ₩3.00 billion KRW (about $2.69 million USD) to ₩5.00 billion KRW (about $4.49 million USD) for every Korean brand they work with! When you add up all the endorsements they’ve had so far, that’s a lot of money. And let’s not forget the global endorsements — such as their current partnership with a certain fast-food restaurant chain that is rolling out in almost 50 countries worldwide.
