According to the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system on the 10th, OA Entertainment paid Jennie 9.479 billion won last year. When combined with the 14.307 billion won settlement from 2024, the total amount paid over the last two years reaches 23.787 billion won.
Industry insiders believe Jennie’s actual annual earnings are likely much higher, as BLACKPINK’s group activities are still managed primarily through YG Entertainment. BLACKPINK recently held a massive world tour and released new music from last year through early this year.
OA Entertainment is a one-person agency established in November 2023 to support Jennie’s solo career after her exclusive contract with YG Entertainment expired. The agency is represented by Jennie’s mother, and Jennie holds 100% of the shares.
In its first year of operation in 2024, the company recorded revenue of 18.928 billion won and an operating profit of 580 million won. Last year, revenue rose by 25.9% to 23.823 billion won, although operating profit dropped by 33.4% to 386 million won.
