[+641, -15] Wow….. What people make by working their asses off is what they make in one episode haha This is why children are wanting to become celebrities and parents are wanting their children to become celebrities…. haha I’m working hard right now because I was born with this face but please let me be born with a pretty face and with talent in the next life.. ha

[+609, -73] So Song Hye Kyo makes 60 million Won per episode which means she makes nearly 1 billion Won for her 16 episode drama series.. But she still wanted to evade taxes? hahaha

[+489,  -34] Couple of them don’t deserve to be there. They can’t act nor have a drama series that did well but because of their title as “top star,” they make millions off advertising and people treat them as if they deserve such treatment.
