According to Sorn, she and Elkie get at least six less than the amount given to their other members.
There was also a moment where the Korean members received money in their account only to find out that theirs were not deposited on time.
The entertainment company did confirm that it was because she was a foreigner and there was a law passed to back it.
She did acknowledge the Cube Entertainment tried their earnest to register everyone so they can receive royalties. But because of legislation between different countries, Sorn can only receive a portion of it.
Sorn is a foreign member group from Thailand while Elkie was from Hong Kong before making their debut under CLC.
