There is no such filial son because one song is so good.

Not only singer-songwriters but also idol members are well-made, and copyright fees that make bank accounts thick are attracting attention.

MeloMance member Kim Min-seok, who has no intention of coming down from the top of the music charts if he releases only new songs, appeared on MBC's entertainment show "Omniscient Interfere" in 2023 and released music revenue.

On this day, Kim Min-seok mentioned his self-composed song "It Must Be Love," which surpassed 100 million streams at the time, and said, "It recently became a filial song. I don't know the income because my parents manage it. The allowance is 5 million won a month," he said.

He then answered Song Eun-yi's question, "Please reveal the copyright fee as you said in a cool way," saying, "The first time you don't come in is three times the allowance." The lowest copyright fee was about 15 million won.

Boy group WINNER member Kang Seung-yoon also revealed the copyright fee that makes the sound of "billion." On the 6th, he said on the MBN entertainment show "Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3," "Most of the male idol songs that have been streamed a lot end about 10 million times a year, but 'REALLY REALLY' has surpassed 100 million streams in Korea alone in 39 weeks of its release."

"REALLY REALLY" is WINNER's song released in April 2017, written and composed by Kang Seung-yoon. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "The copyright fee must be enormous," and Kang Seung-yoon said, "When copyright is the most popular moment, the most money comes in and then the popularity starts to decline, it's not that much." At the same time, Kang Seung-yoon surprised the cast by confessing, "I have received billions of dollars a month for copyright fees."

Singer and broadcaster Park Myung-soo is also receiving a salty copyright fee. In 2023, he released a copyright income deposit message on MBC's entertainment show, "To Be Straight," without adding or subtracting it.

On this day, Park Myung-soo said, "I don't need all the introductions. I just need to get to the point. "The hook is the most important part of EDM," he said, expressing a special affection for the EDM music genre. He then revealed a mobile phone message with about 580,000 won deposited, saying that he has released a total of 10 songs only with EDM so far, and confessed, "The copyright association costs about 1.5 million won."
