Chapter 183: DSP Who Wants Money from Death

PS: Thanks to WilliamTen and kexing for the monthly pass, thanks to the way of the heavenly master and WilliamTe's reward, I have collected nearly 100, huhu hold on, and recommend the new book "Korean Entertainment Scumbag" with nonsense! You deserve it!

KARA arrived at Yiqingtang ten minutes later, and after KARA arrived, Lee Hyori and Lee Woo-chul also went out to officially face reporters, and the number of reporters at this time also increased to nearly fifty people, in front of reporters, Lee Hyori vigorously praised Lee Woo-chul, and told all reporters that she had asked Lee Woo-cheol to write a song for them for her sister KARA, although it was not the title song, but Lee Hyori believed that Lee Woo-cheol's strength, even if it was not the main hit, would definitely make KARA very popular.

After Lee Hyori said these words, all the media finally understood why Lee Hyori appeared here with Lee Woo Chul and KARA in such a high-profile manner today, it turned out that he was supporting Lee Woo Chul like Yoo Jae-seok and others, but Lee Hyo-ri's support was more practical than Yoo Jae-seok and others' Twitter support.

After saying these words, the media slowly left, and Lee Hyori took Lee Woo-cheol and KARA into the box in Ilcheongtang, and did not sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window anymore!

Some people may wonder why Lee Hyori can ask Lee Woo-cheol for songs instead of KARA, and Lee Hyori is not the president of KARA, here I have to talk about Lee Hyori's previous company, Lee Hyori's previous company name was DSP company, DSP company is very powerful, it can be said that it is definitely one of the top three entertainment companies in South Korea, and the popular groups launched by the company include Crystal Boy, fin.k.l, Click-B, etc. are all smash hit idol groups!

Lee Hyo-ri was the captain of FIN.K.L, and then in '03. After the dissolution of fin.k.l, the company praised Lee Hyo-ri and released a solo album "LeeHyoLee Vol.1" for Lee Lee Hyo-ri, and the title song of the album "10minutes" topped the MBC "MUSICCAMP" song chart within two weeks, and won five music awards in December, including "KBS Song Battle Award", "m.net Most Popular MV Award", "KMTV Music Award", "Seoul Song Award" and "SBS Song Battle Award". ”。

You know, if the MBC Awards didn't end up falling. Then Lee Hyo-ri will achieve a grand slam, and no female singer has ever won a grand slam in Korean history. In the men's SOLO, only Cho Yong-pil and Kim Jong-kook have achieved a grand slam, with a span of more than 20 years!

Therefore, Lee Hyori later became the first sister of DSP, and his position in DSP was very detached, and the relationship with the company's upper echelons was also very good, until the vice president of DSP established B2M in 07, and Lee Hyori changed his company with a value of 2.2 billion won in 3 years, and the contract with DSP was terminated peacefully. It can be said that it is not a termination of the contract.

So after the termination of the contract, Lee Hyori has always said good things about DSP, and he is also willing to help DSP's junior artists, and more importantly, Lee Hyori's reputation and status are still very high.

In this way, the DSP's respect for Lee Hyo-ri has been tepid since KARA's debut. Lee Hyori is very hard to support, which makes DSP's Lee Ho-yeon very grateful to Lee Hyori. Although Lee Hyo-ri is not a DSP person, Lee Ho-yeon also said outside that Lee Hyo-ri is definitely a benefactor and mentor of KARA, so Lee Hyo-ri can invite Lee Woo-chul to sing on behalf of KARA. And DSPs will definitely embrace it

This is the first time Lee Woo-chul has met KARA, which is considered the representative group of the second generation in the era of Korean girl groups, the first generation is fin.k.l and SES group.

After a generation, it has been until 08 years. It was JYP's WonderGirls who brought the second girl group era to come, and in this second girl group era, Girls' Generation and KARA are the well-deserved leaders of the second generation.

Of course, the current Girls' Generation and KARA are just getting started, and someone needs to be there, that is, a prophet like Lee Woo-chul, to push them behind.

KARA is also a girl group that Lee Woo-cheol wants to fight for, and in the future, KARA may not be as popular as Girls' Generation in South Korea, but KARA is the most popular in Japan, and Girls' Generation's popularity in Japan is nothing compared to KARA.

I remember that KARA endorsed a red vinegar drink in Japan, relying on the taste of the product and KARA's super popularity, the sales performance in the past 3 months has been rising, especially the pomegranate-flavored one, which has been sold out of stock.

It is a miracle that the total sales of the brand's fruit vinegar drink from January to July were less than 3 billion, and since the endorsement of this drink by KARA in August, the sales in the three months since then have reached a staggering 22.1 billion.

This is an endorsement, and in terms of record sales, Kara is also ahead of Girls' Generation. Since then, the kara album has sold more than 560,000 copies (rising) and generated 1.3 billion yen, and Girls' Generation has sold about 450,000 (rising) and generated 880 million yen.

On the single album, kara sold more than 200,000 yuan very early in a month, and the platinum certification was soon available, and the achievement only forced the predecessors TVXQ, and it was a little slow when it was young!

Some people will say, KARA is so powerful, how can DSP give up, how can Li Yuzhe get KARA, hehe, that's DSP's own problem, DSP has a very famous nickname, that is, death requires money, as long as it is an artist who is popular in DSP company, DSP will pump artists like vampires.

Just like the revenue from the sale of music sources of a certain KARA's album has a total of 410 million won, but when the money is divided, it is told that the activity fund is as high as 390 million won, which means that the income of the DSP is 20 million won (120,000 yuan), and this 20 million won is the company's income, so the company still has to take 70%, that is, 14 million won, and the remaining 6 million won is the income of the five KARA people, 1.2 million won each. Less than a month's salary of Li Yuzhe's MP entertainment trainee, it will take a few months for a single to be promoted at least to play a song.

Because of this, KARA sued DSP once, and the content of the complaint mentions that "DSP has not paid a total of 860,000 won for six months, and there is no other remuneration other than a fixed salary of 140,000 won per month, which is inappropriate."

The most striking part of this lawsuit is that the KARA members only have a fixed salary of 140,000 won per month, which is extremely incredible as an artist. Therefore, it caused a shock in the major media in South Korea.

Although DSP immediately reacted, issuing a statement on the company's official website, stating: "The statements of the three of them greatly distort the facts, and all proceeds are paid in full on a contract basis." ”

But the DSP company, the face of the dead money has been exposed, and the Korean people's favorability towards the DSP company will soon be zero, no accident, for KARA, Lee Woo-cheol will definitely take action, and the timing of the shot is also when DSP does something that people and gods are angry about
