Boyfriend confessed that they had yet to turn a profit on 'Beatles Code'.
The boys have been in the industry for a year and 8 months now, and they've had quite a successful run, especially with their latest songs "Janus" and "I Yah". However, it seems like that wasn't enough to make a profit.
On 'Beatles Code', MC Tak Jae Hoon asked the members, "When did you see the biggest profit after you debuted?".
Whatever answer the MC was expecting, it wasn't the one he got, as the boys answered, "We haven't broken even yet, so don't really have an income." Despite this, the members added brightly, "But our CEO still gave us allowance telling us we worked hard for the Lunar New Year. We got 1,000,000 KRW (approximately $930 USD) each."
But even their optimism was shot down when MC Jang Dong Min jokingly (yet painfully truthfully) point out, "If you worked part time at a PC cafe for 1 year and 8 months, you would have made more than that."
UPDATE: Starship Entertainment posted the following message on Boyfriend's Facebook page:
We would like to announce what BOYFRIEND has mentioned regarding their revenue on Mnet 'Beatles Code Season 2' is different from the truth. :)
Revenue earned in and out of the country since their debut was all distributed to the members. The boys were aware of the distribution system very well, but DongHyun misunderstood MC's question "How much is the most money you've ever had on hand?", and thought he has never had on his hand because their revenue is directly transferred to their account. [sic]
The situation was made by misunderstanding, so please do not worry about the members :)
Please keep supporting BOYFRIEND!
