Whenever looking at the current Oricon charts, there's always some Korean artist in there somewhere. Asia Today made a list of the Korean artists promoting in Japan, and revealed the top 5 highest earning stars for the past year.
The fifth spot is taken by 6 member group Supernova. They have been promoting in Japan since September 2009, and have managed to get into the top 10 with every single one of their releases. The group is said to be earning around 30 million yen for their Japanese work.
Surprisingly, popular group TVXQ ends at a 4th place with 60 million yen, while girl groups Girls' Generation and Kara, who have been promoting a lot in Japan lately, take the 3rd and 2nd spot with about 50 million yen each.
Korean actor-turned-singer Jang Geunsuk ranked at the top spot with an income of about 90 million yen. The actor has released multiple photobooks, and his debut single earlier this year. His single is still the best Korean debut in Japan up to date, with sales of around 200000 copies up to date. He sold 119000 copies in the first week of its release.

ReplyDeleteI saw a discussion about this at AK.. they said this was strictly just for CF and concerts.. I don't know.. XD
ReplyDeletehmm..
ReplyDeletei bet number 1 spot was taken by AKB48, moe maximum . . :D
i'm sorry, but it's very very hard for KARA to surpass AKB48 in fame or income, but i don't really care about those, though.
what i wish is that KARA will gain more success, or even if it's not, the girls will still get together n be happy, have fun, no matter what will happen next.
