Nothing in that article is surprising tbh but it did make me wonder which group’s online concert failed to make money https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> A bit random but when discussing earnings like this, I often think about how being an idol group member is a career with short lifespan.

Some are able to continue in music or other areas after but most sort of fade away. Unless they’re in the upper percentile of earners or have a good back-up plan, how many of these kids will be in a good place financially?

Even what appears to be a high income isn’t that much if someone hits their peak earning capability in their 20s. Imagine this has to last almost an entire life time... something to think about I guess.
