G-Dragon doesn’t make as much in royalties as you think he does

BIG BANG’s G-Dragon’s copyright income was said to be overestimated!
A representative from the Korea Music Copyright Association (KMCA) came forward and stated, The supposed well-known fact that G-Dragon is listed as number 1 in copyright income is actually different from the truth. The initial news sparked an investigation due to all the hype about his income, and it was discovered that the claim was somewhat exaggerated. Unfortunately, the contents concerning copyrights cannot be revealed to the public. For those reasons, we cannot reveal detailed copyright incomes nor rankings.”
Back in May this year, BIG BANG’s Seungri caused quite a sensation when he appeared on Mnet’s ‘Beatles Code‘ saying, “G-Dragon hyung is currently considered #1 in the Copyright Association… He’s even higher than composer Jo Young Soo.”
What’s true is that 429 songs were registered by Jo Young Soo, while only 107 were listed by G-Dragon.
