Despite the turmoil that TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki is going through, the boys are still bringing in the big bucks. On December 30th, tvN ENEWS '블랙박스 / Blackbox' ranked the top 10 entertainers in terms of revenue earned and the boys of TVXQ came out on top. The top 10 ranked as the following:
1) TVXQ ₩ 127,340,000,000 (around $109.1 million US dollars)
2) Rain / Bi ₩ 62,000,000,000 (around $53.1 million US dollars)
3) Big Bang ₩ 20,000,000,000 (around $20 million US dollars)
4) Super Junior
5) Kim Hyun Joong
6) Ko Hyun Jung
7) SNSD / Girls' Generation
8) Lee Byung Hun
9) Yoo Jae Suk
10) Kang Ho Dong
TVXQ's revenue for 2009 was estimated at ₩ 127,340,000,000 (around $109.1 million US dollars). ₩ 91,200,000,000 came from album sales, ₩ 35,940,000,000 came from concerts, and around ₩ 2,000,000,000 came from advertisements to come up with the total revenue. This coinciding with the news that TVXQ was the #3 earner in Japan is great news for the boys.
Looking at all the money they generated it seems there should be plenty of money to go around, unfortunately there's big turmoil with SM Entertainment. Hopefully, it can all be resolved soon. Thanks to Cindy for the tip and remember to check out the ONETVXQ Forums.
