WJSN's Seola Says Her Idol Income Was Highly Irregular
WJSN member Seola described her income as an entertainer as highly unpredictable in a YouTube interview.
WJSN, also known as Cosmic Girls, is a girl group, and Seola made her debut more than 10 years ago.
She said monthly payments could vary by more than tenfold, reflecting the irregular nature of freelance entertainment work.
In her first year of settlements, she sometimes received several million won, but other months brought only ₩500,000 or ₩100,000, and some brought nothing.
Her first settlement was in the mid-₩10 million range, and she used it to buy her parents a gift at a jewelry store.
The swings led her to become cautious about spending, because she did not see the income as stable.
She did not describe any specific next step.

She said the difference between some months’ income was more than tenfold, and some months brought no income.
