Lee Jin-sung of the group Monday Kids has revealed his copyright royalty earnings.

On the 23rd, a video titled "First-ever disclosure of earnings by composer Lee Jin-sung with 20 years of experience" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Real Lee Jin-sung (Monday Kids)'.

In the released video, Lee Jin-sung is shown disclosing his copyright royalty earnings over 20 years for songs he has released, along with footage of his studio.

When asked by the production team about his top three royalty-earning songs, Lee Jin-sung replied, "I haven't calculated it, but I think 'If You Call My Name Tenderly' is number one. It's still on the Melon chart and has been there for five years. I haven't counted the exact amount, so this isn't precise. The top three are likely that song, 'Autumn Greetings', and 'You Can Say Love Has Faded'."

The production team then asked about his total copyright royalties, and Lee Jin-sung said, "My first registration was in 2007," before checking the Korea Copyright Commission's website.

Lee Jin-sung added, "To be honest, 'Honestly Speaking to Me' also earned a lot. I haven't received a complete payment history yet, but if I receive 3 million won monthly, that would total 648 million won."

The production team asked, "Isn't that too little?" Lee Jin-sung responded with a joke, saying, "Yes, it's an underestimate. Why would I need to inflate the numbers? There's no reason to neatly cut it down like this."

Meanwhile, Lee Jin-sung debuted in 2005 as part of Monday Kids and has since been active as a singer, lyricist, and composer.
