The earnings of top stars Jang Dong Gun and Hyun Bin were recently revealed as a result of the merging of AM Entertainment and SM C&C.

A public statement released just days ago revealed the earnings from endorsements, dramas, and movies of the actors under AM Entertainment. Although letters of the alphabet were used instead of actual names in order to conceal the identities of each actor, it was not hard to figure out that actor 'A' was Jang Dong Gun.

It was revealed that actor Jang Dong Won's appearance fee for his recent drama 'Gentlemen's Class' was 2 billion KRW (around $1,788,000 USD).

The actor, whose earnings from endorsements amounted to around $2,413,800 USD in 2011, jumped to a whopping $5,837,600 dollars after starring in the drama 'Gentlemen's Class'. Meanwhile, his salary is expected to rise even further after his film 'Dangerous Liaisons' is released. His earnings from the film is reported to be 1.3 billion KRW (~ $1,161,284 USD).

Meanwhile, the wages of actor Hyun Bin, whose popularity skyrocketed after his 2010 drama 'Secret Garden', does not fall far behind. For each episode of 'Secret Garden', the actor was paid around $27,000 dollars and earned an estimated $178,838 just from additional profit from the drama. After the drama, the actor earned about $2,914,200 total from eight endorsement deals.

Along with the salaries of Jang Dong Gun and Hyun Bin, those of other actors including Kim Ha Neul, Shin Min Ah, and Han Ji Min were also revealed.
