DSP has certainly earned A LOT from Kara in just 2 months alone. with Jumping, the full album, and korean comeback ahead, they are gonna make even more! advertising for electronics.. nice. first thing i though of was ham! ham and her electronics. this is perfect for her! anyways, congrats!!
timstarr Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 omo daebak!! kara jjang!! DSP hit the big time!! they should make a "new SS501" so i can spazz some DSP Line Love with KARA congrats! thanks for sharing!
♥Nicoleholic Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Dang, That is a lot of money. Now I'm waiting for Kara's new deluxe hotel room payed for by DSP
goddessfollower Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) DSP better let the girls pocket most of that cash, yo. And lol @ Wannabe star, the Japanese to Korean to English translation is really weird. I'd translate it to more "next door neighbor stars," kinda like someone you know casually who's also famous. Oh and I'm currently listening to SNSD's new Hoot album. It's actually really enjoyable - SM has been on top of the ball (except for Suju, 4jib was a mess). Actually, most recent kpop has been really good. Edited October 27, 2010 by goddessfollower
radenoactive Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Ok..for the first time i feel good about DSP~~ Nice job there!! With that amount of money, Kara maybe can be a millionaire group in such a young age.. Especially Jiyoung lol..
sharkey Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) 5 billion won is equal to 4.4 million USD they can come to the states with no problem XD kara jjang they have became millionaires (in USD, billionaires in wons) Edited October 27, 2010 by sharkey
KARAddicted.01 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Kara is getting bigger and bigger huh ? even if for me they're the biggest already.. congrats girls.. i hope for more love to come XD
vennie Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Haha the first time I read 'wannabe star' I was like what?? KARA are stars, not wannabe lol, but it was probably just a very broad translation. Anyway racking in ~4.45 million USD a year on advertising alone is crazy..for once I'll have to compliment DSP for getting the job done in terms of marketing. I wanna see some consumer electronics cfs from Kara, sell em something .
neris Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~!!!!!!!!!!!! $^TGAWGASFVADWVAWRAQG RHZFDBRHZDNXCJZSFT Oh gosh, S#$@%$#@%$E@#$ 5 billion won is like 4.45 million us dollars.

Viktoriya Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Is this is what it's like to be popular?! Is KARA finally getting the love and respect they deserve? I wonder if this is the type of money they've always dreamed of. If so, glad to know dreams do come true. GO KARA!!!
