We all know that K-Pop Idols are rich. But sometimes, we forget the hard work they put in to earn a name for themselves and earn their income. Moreover, only a handful of K-Pop Idols are able to become ultra-rich. Most of them stay in the in-between category. There are variations. You can find Idols with a net worth of 1 million dollars to 20 million dollars. There are popular groups like BTS, Seventeen, BIGBANG, BLACKPINK, EXO, Got7, Shinee, Red Velvet, Twice, etc. And also solo artists like IU, JYP, PSY, Jay Park, etc. We are aware that the members of these groups are rich. Here, we are going to list down the K-Pop Idols who own ‘the’ Black Card, a symbol of wealth and luxury.
Then, there are ‘new groups like EVERGLOW, Dream Catcher, TXT, Enhypen, EPEX,’ etc. These K-Pop groups are on their way to becoming more popular and also richer. Among all this, we can’t miss the fact that several K-Pop groups debut every year in Korea. Only a few of them are able to survive the harsh competition in the K-Pop industry. There are a huge number of trainees who never even get the chance to debut. It is not just the work of lady luck that some K-Pop idols become rich and famous. Their potential as a star also plays a huge part. If they weren’t capable enough, they would have never reached the stage of popularity and earned the riches that they now do.
K-Pop Idols Who Have A Black Card
A ‘Black Card’ usually refers to a premium credit card. K-Pop Idols flex Black Cards like no other. Only a few of them ever get the chance to earn a Black Card. A black card, a luxury credit card, has no upper limit. A sign of a lavish lifestyle, the Black Card is only offered to people who are ultra-rich and have a high net worth. K-Pop Idols enjoy the benefit of endless spending access that they get with the Black Card. Here’s a list of some of the K-Pop Idols who own a Black Card in Korea.
BTS Jungkook
With a net worth of 8 million Dollars, the maknae of the group BTS is one of the richest K-Pop idols. While the group was in New Zealand, BTS went shopping, and a camera caught Jungkook using the Black Card. There is also a video of the same present on the internet. Being a member of the world’s richest K-Pop Group, it is almost an obvious fact for Jungkook to have a Black Card. His income mainly comes from being a pop singer.
BTS Jin
