InstizSM artists who earned the most annually

- As expected of God BoA ㅠㅠ

- Yen fairies ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- BoA and TVXQ though ㅠㅠ They're only solo and two members but it's cool how they dominate up the stage completely

- EXO established the Chungdam-dong building ㅋㅋ It's not like EXO earned the most because other artists enlisted...
