BLACKPINK Revealed to Make a Crazy Amount of Money With Just Their YouTube Channel Alone

On a recent episode of KBS’s Park Myung Soo’s Radio Show, Cho Woo Jong, and big data expert, Jeon Min Ki appeared on the show where they revealed just how much BLACKPINK makes every month just from their YouTube channel.

Jeon Min Ki started off the conversation by sharing that he knows many young YouTubers.

I know a million young YouTubers. But they don’t tell me the exact numbers of how much they make. But they’re making enough to buy one foreign car every month. One foreign car.

In response, Park Myung Soo gave credit to BLACKPINK’s effort in maintaining their popularity for why their YouTube channel is so popular.

They’re making that kind of income because they make a lot of effort to maintain their popularity. If you work hard and get to a similar level, you can make it there.

But Jeon Min Ki stressed that it’s not that easy.

It shouldn’t be underestimated because it’s like stocks. Since you can see how many people come and leave your channel, you have to continue to analyze the data, and it’s not easy to keep thinking about what makes fans subscribe and unsubscribe.
