There’s no denying that Big Bang has had a monster year thus far, and now, the numbers confirm it.
According to a segment broadcast on tvN’s enews on June 29, Big Bang filmed six commercials and reportedly earned an estimated 1.1 billion won per CF to rake in a total of 6.6 billion won in the first half of 2012, putting the idol group in the upper ranks in terms of earnings.
Lee Jung Pyo from SK Marketing & Company is quoted in the clip saying, “On the earnings of current idol group models, it’s safe to say [Big Bang] is at the highest level.”
What’s more impressive is that the 6.6 billion won figure is exclusive of T.O.P’s individual earnings as a CF model.
The clip also notes that Big Bang recently shot a CF in Japan, which member Seungri nailed for the group through personal connections, for 400 million won, proving that everyone wants a piece of the idol group.
