K-dramas are all the rage at the moment.

They have been so, since many years and going by the craze among fans, the popularity of Korean shows is only going to soar with every passing year. Indians have also caught on the k-drama fever courtesy iconic shows like Crash Landing On You, Squid Game and The Glory among several others. In case you are wondering, how much your favourite Korean actors make, here's a quick look at some of them. Scroll

1. Kim Soo Hyun - It¡¯s Okay To Not Be Okay

Better known as Yoo Shi-Jin from Descendants of the Sun, he also gave a fabulous performance in The Vincenzo. He is said to make $170,000 per episode ( Rs 1.4 crore approx).

The actor¡¯s estimated net worth is $24 million (approx Rs 199 crore). Song Joong Ki¡¯s neo-noir thriller film Hopeless premiered at Cannes Film Festival 2023.

4. Hyun Bin - Crash Landing On You

CLOY Netflix

Representing the desi community, I will go out on a limb here and admit that it was because of him and Son Ye Jin¡¯s K-drama CLOY that made most Indians fancy Korean shows. He has a cult following across the world. He reportedly charges $113,000 per episode (Rs 93.75 Lakh).

His estimated net worth stands at $21 million (approx Rs 174 crore). Hyun Bin hasn¡¯t been seen in a K-drama ever since CLOY.

5. Song Hye-kyo - The Glory

Her revenge K-drama is the talk of the town. So much so that it came out with season 2 as well. She is one of the most popular female Korean performers who takes home roughly $160,000 per episode (Rs 1.3 Crore approx). According to a TOI report, Song Hye-kyo has a penchant for properties. In 2021, she bought one in Seoul worth $17.5 million. Hye-kyo also owns a lavish apartment in New York, worth $1.8 million.

6. Park Seo Joon - Itaewon Class

He is one of South Korea¡¯s most sought-after actors. His stardom has soared so much that he is now all set to star alongside Brie Larson in the new Captain Marvel sequel. His net worth is estimated to be $21 million (Rs 175 crore approx).

In 2015, it was reported that he earned $25,000 per episode (Rs 20 lakh) of the drama series She Was Pretty. Considering his Hollywood debut in the offing, the figures of both his salary per episode and net worth must have risen exponentially.

7. Son Ye Jin - Crash Landing On You

CLOY netflix

How can we not include Yoon Seri in our list, right? Hyun Bin¡¯s better half Son Ye Jin is one of the most loved Korean actresses. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Son Ye-jin¡¯s net worth is around $20 million (approx Rs 164 crore). Son Ye-jin reportedly earned approx $500,000 per movie and about $42,000 per episode some years ago. Her latest salary numbers are not known.
