YONSAMA HAS A LOT OF MONEY
Korean actor, Bae Yong-Jun (aka Yonsama), has a lot of money. So much money that when he decided he wanted a production company (something most actors have) he put his cash into an actively traded, public firm, listed on the KOSDAQ (something most actors would never do in a million years). Yonsama is now the majority share holder in Autowin Tech, a systems integration company, after he dropped 9 billion won (US$9 million) on it. The plans are to change the name to Key East and turn it into a content development company, as well as an entertainment management company. The other investors are Softbank Korea (investment: 3 billion won) and Interactive Media Mix (investment: 1 billion won).
Yonsama has said that stocks in Key East won't be publicly traded for two years.

now what's even more shocking is that his management company, BOF, made 44 Billion Won last year, 20 from Yonsama alone. I don't know how much of that he's getting, but that's money. Lots.
