The Korean industry has given several hit music and dramas to the world entertainment industry. The recent popularity and love for Korean culture have also helped many musical artists and groups to go viral and among them, the most famous ones are BTS and BLACKPINK. Both of these groups have given so many hits over the years and have earned success and love from all over the world. But is the success rate the same for both these groups? Which one is bigger than the other and which one is richer than the other? Let’s find out who earns more money and has a bigger net worth.
Who is BTS?
BTS debuted in the Korean industry in 2013 and is made up of 7 idols, and the members are RM, Suga, Jungkook, V, Jimin, J-Hope, and Jin. Their debut single ‘2 Kool 4 Skool’ has helped them gain a name in the industry. A year later the band’s first studio album ‘Dark & Wild’ was released which earned them a bigger fan base and success.
It has been 9 years since the band debuted and in the past years, they have given many albums and releases that managed to always stay at the top of the charts. In addition to that, the band members have also been successful on their own, being ambassadors of different national and international brands. As soloists, every group member has earned chart positions in the industry which means the Bangtan Boys are set for life!
Networth of BTS
According to Seventeen, BTS’s net worth is around $140 million or more, and each member has an estimated net worth of $20 million.
However, it is important to consider that besides selling music and being brand ambassadors of different brands, the band also has shares on their labels and other sources of income. So their net worth can easily be over $140 million.
Who is BLACKPINK?
This all-girl member group was formed by YG Entertainment and debuted in the industry in 2016. BLACKPINK has four members, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa who started their journey with their mini album ‘Square One’ in 2016. This album had only two tracks, ‘Whistle’ and ‘Boombayah’. Since then they have also given many hits and 2 studio albums.
Networth of BLACKPINK
Together the girl group has an estimated net worth of at least $68 million. The richest member of the group is Lisa with a net worth of $20 million which came from her songs, solo royalties, performances, and endorsements. Following Lisa, the second richest group member is Jennie, with a net worth of $18 million. She is also the face of international brands like Chanel and Gentle Monster. The other two, Jisoo and Rosé each have a $15 million net worth from their brand deals and singing career.
Who is richer?
While both bands are successful internationally, it is evident to say that BTS is richer than BLACKPINK. Several reasons that are fueling this difference are the fact that the boy group consists of 7 members whereas the girl group only has 4. BTS is also present in the industry for a longer time than BLACKPINK.
