Check out the successful boss ladies of the K-Pop industry below.
Suzy (age 24)
There were once rumors that Suzy kept JYP Entertainment running due to her packed schedule and various promotions. Suzy started promoting outside of miss A when she debuted as an actress on “Dream High” and the film “Architecture 101.” Since then, she secured her image as the “nation’s first love” and received numerous offers from various advertising companies.
After her first film, she starred in 22 advertisements, which added up to 10 billion won (approximately $8,877,600) in advertisement fees in just 2013. Her current drama “While You Were Sleeping” is being received positively by the public, so it is projected that her advertisement fees will increase.
The singer and actress is the 791st member of the Honor Society, an organization of people who donate large amounts of money. She has donated uniforms, supported incurable diseases, and supported families of the victims of the Sewol ferry tragedy. She also agreed to donate 100 million won (approximately $88,776) to the Gwangju Community Chest.

In April, she appeared on KBS 2TV’s “Happy Together” and revealed that a large part of her advertisement fees was readjusted. The singer-actress donated her voice by narrating a video about excavating the remains of those who lost their lives in the Korean War.

Lee Hyori (age 39)
Once known as one of the “Nation’s Fairies,” this first-generation idol is known for her openness and honesty, even when it comes to her income.

In 2006, Lee Hyori was the highest-paid female singer in South Korea when she signed a contract with Mnet Media. Her sex appeal led to many advertising and endorsement opportunities and a consumer survey in 2005 ranked her brand power as the strongest among female entertainers. In the past, she signed advertising contracts with major corporations such as Samsung and Lotte Liquor, the latter reporting that the market share of their soju brand rose 4 percent during Lee Hyori’s modeling run.
She has donated and campaigned for many social causes such as animal rights, working closely with shelters (where she met her husband Lee Sang Soon).
