Born into a family of silver spoons, Kyuhyun almost became a lawyer or a teacher if he hadn’t pursued his dream of becoming an idol. Despite the initial disapproval from his family, the idol proved to them that his decision was right — he became the lead soloist and the second richest member of Super Junior!
Net worth of Super Junior Kyuhyun in 2023
As of 2023, a source estimating the richest members of Super Junior by the amount of equity, named Kyuhyun the second richest participant with a net income of $ 15 to $ 20 million.
Most of Kyuhyun’s earnings came from his work as a K-pop idol and solo artist. In particular, he joined Super Junior and its sub-unit K.R.Y. in 2006.
Since then, the band has grown as “Hallyu Kings”, known for their worldwide hits “Sorry, Sorry”, “U”, “Mr. Simple” and others. Among K-pop groups, Super Junior is one of the oldest and most active teams of the second generation. An 18-year-old band can instantly sell out concert tickets in Korea, Japan and other foreign countries, proving its inexorable power.
Kyuhyun is also recognized as one of the most successful soloists of K-pop, who is also a member of an active group. His solo career is not limited to K-pop, but he has also established himself as a musical actor.
In addition to music, the singer “At Gwanghwamun” also creates content and owns a personal YouTube channel with 582 thousand subscribers. According to YouTubers, a channel with such subscribers usually earned from 300 to 500 thousand dollars a year.
In addition to this, Kyuhyun also owns a BUILDING with a net worth of $7 million, in addition to his appearances in entertainment shows and modeling.
Kyuhyun’s family background from Super Junior + career if he hadn’t debuted as an idol
Before becoming a millionaire, Kyuhyun was actually already an idol with a silver spoon.
He was born to a father who founded several educational institutions in South Korea and Taiwan. Kyuhyun’s mother was also a co-founder of the art academy and a guest house in Myeongdong.
Since his family’s interests were focused on education and the arts, Kyuhyun also grew up to be a model student specializing in mathematics. In high school, he even received an award from the Ministry of Science and Technology for being in the top five in mathematics. The male idol took first place after answering a question that no one could answer.
At that time, it was already decided that he would get a law degree to become a lawyer, or inherit their academic institutions.
But the turn of events came when Kyuhyun discovered his passion for singing and performing after he joined the band. Initially, his father was against this idea. Fortunately, Kyuhyun was able to pursue his father on the condition that he enter a prestigious university.
The role student successfully entered Kyunghee University and graduated with a major in Post Modern Music. At the same time, he joined SM Entertainment and debuted as Super Junior.
