The same year that Sukki ‘*transformed*’ into a reporter on the SBS series Pinocchio, the drama was reportedly sold to a Chinese portal site for $280,000 (about P13.5 million) for each episode (Pinocchio has 20 episodes!).
You know what that means—the more popular the series, the more ka-ching for the cast members. Plus, higher the talent fees for the actors for their next ventures!
The following years proved to be good for Sukki because he starred in several crowd-favorite dramas including W: Two Worlds (which is having an American adaptation, btw) and While You Were Sleeping. With the tremendous success of these dramas, he is recognized as one of the highest-paid Korean actors and is estimated to take home at least $50,000 (approximately P2.4 million) per episode. Daebak.

Just by looking at this shot, we can assume that Sukki’s fan meet was a full house (and that it certainly added a big amount to his bank account) (and that is for sure added a hefty amount to his bank account).
He has held his fan meetups in other countries, including China in 2015. Did you know that the most expensive ticket to his concert in Guangzhou was sold out in a matter of 30 seconds? It was priced at $255 (about P12,320) lang naman. Casual!
