But you just have to wonder — how much do these ads cost? They can’t be cheap, right?
Turns out they are definitely not cheap! Although the cost can vary, like during the time of year and length of ad run, you can expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars for just a few minutes of exposure out of every hour. According to Allkpop, the Kang Daniel ad set fans back anywhere from $21,000 to $35,000.
“Fans wanted to deliver encouragement as the birthday gift. About 300 fans came together for it,” said one organizer. “The value changes a lot, but for one day, it’s around 3000 – 5000 USD per day.”
Talk about dedication to your bias! K-pop fans really are committed!
