For the 12 members, they have 4 managers. They need at least 3 stylists, 3 hair designers, and 3 makeup artists. This is the minimum staff and they have more staffs when needed.
The cost of clothes, accessories, and shoes for one broadcast appearance per member is $700~800. Since there are 12 members, the styling cost for a promotion is $8,400~9,600. One meal is around $12, which is $300 in total. In other words, if they have a music show promotion, the cost is over $10,000. They spend at least 4 hours on hair and makeup alone.

Pann: Idol group whose promotion cost is $10,000 a day
1. [+143, -2] So this must be why they're still not getting paid despite being around for a long time. It's the company's fault for putting that many members without a thought.
2. [+119, -3] Why did the company debut so many members in the first place? The members must feel so pressured for the company. Dayoung is also a member of WJSN, right? They said they have around 30 people total and that they want to work hard... Seventeen had so many staffs on Omniscient Interfering View, too. I was surprised.
3. [+88, -0] They must have a lot of debt... Even if they get paid, they'll have to divide it with so many people so there won't be much. How sad.
4. [+42, -0] They're funded by Yue Hua. Yue Hua is as big as SM in Korea...
5. [+41, -1] Then Seventeen and NCT... Seventeen members ate so much on Omniscient Interfering View.
6. [+40, -1] If a girl group isn't bound to be popular like SNSD, the members shouldn't be more than 7. Realistically, if a boy group flops, they can still earn more than girl groups ㅠㅠ Boy groups with a lot of members get paid decently.
7. [+33, -0] Wow, their outfit quality is great, though... Is Starship loaded?
8. [+26, -0] This is why you should debut only core members instead of throwing a bunch. It's also hard for the members with less earnings.
