Pann: Top 10 profits of idol albums in the first half of 2018

1. [+210, -16] BTS is really a wall... They earned that much with a single album. They'll set a record when they release a repackage.

2. [+71, -22] GOT7 is also a single album.

3. [+69, -13] GOT7 hit daebak with only one mini album ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+63, -27] Who said NCT is a flop? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+57, -1] Big Hit is building a golden tower with BTS alone. They're smaller than the big 3 so their actual profits are really big compared to the investments. First of all, SM is too huge so their investments are also too huge. Their actual profits are laughable. If Big Hit's profit is 35%, SM's profit would be less than 3%. Besides, Big Hit doesn't even have any bank loans. BTS is a real cash cow.

6. [+56, -1] Wow, I actually find Infinite more amazing. Most of those groups are less than 5 years old but Infinite is almost reaching their 10th year. They're still earning $33.8M... Amazing.

7. [+56, -1] SHINee is in their 11th year and Infinite is in their 9th year, amazing... ShiHiIn is definitely on a long-run.

8. [+50, -7] Jaehyun looks handsome in the NCT picture.

9. [+49, -2] Infinite's albums are the most expensive ones but they're still up there. I'm proud that they're doing well in their 9th year. SHINee is amazing, too!

10. [+45, -10] NCT? Wow... People call them a flop all the time but they're not. I really thought they were a flop but they're doing much better than I expected.
