i-dle’s Soyeon is addressing the long-running rumor that her songwriting royalties have reached 1 billion won.
Soyeon appears as the second guest on E Channel’s Heo Kyung Hwan’s Trend Show, where she talks about several rumors and lesser-known stories surrounding her career and personal life.
One of the biggest topics is the claim that Soyeon has earned as much as 1 billion won in copyright royalties.
As i-dle’s leader, rapper, songwriter, and producer, Soyeon has been directly involved in creating many of the group’s hit songs. She has also written and produced music for other artists, leading to continued curiosity about how much she earns from her songwriting credits.
During the show, Soyeon responds directly to the widely circulated “1 billion won copyright royalty” rumor and discusses the story behind it. However, the preview did not reveal her full answer ahead of the episode.
The conversation also highlights Soyeon’s work as a producer. When host Heo Kyung Hwan asks whether there is currently an artist she has been watching and would like to approach for a collaboration, Soyeon reportedly names one group without hesitation.
She also talks about her connection with RESCENE’s Minami, whom she previously met through an audition program, sharing her first impression of the singer and the advice she gave her at the time.
Elsewhere in the episode, Soyeon addresses rumors about her height and shares lighter stories about her everyday life, but the discussion surrounding her reported 1 billion won in royalties is expected to be one of the main points of her appearance.
Soyeon’s episode of Heo Kyung Hwan’s Trend Show is released through the YouTube channel ggzz.
