Only 2M house? Guess Korean celebrities don't get paid as much as Americans?
It's not comparable due to market size difference. For HBO's Game of Thrones, the top paid actors/actresses were paid $500,000 per episode in season 7, and $700,000 per episode in season 8. Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) was paid $212,000 per episode.
In South Korea the top paid TV drama actors/actresses earn $20,000 to $140,000 per episode for the evening dramas that typically runs for 16 episodes. Lee Byung Hun was paid 150 million won ($140K USD) per episode in Mister Sunshine, which ran for extended 24 episodes. His total pay was ~$3.2 million USD for 24 episode drama. Kit Harrington got paid just as much for 7 episodes in season 7 of GoT.
If we look at production budget, Game of Thrones season 8 cost over $15 million per episode, versus Korea's "Arthdal Chronicals" (now on Netflix) cost $3 million per episode.
As for Rain, he has his wife has been in the entertainment industry for 2 decades. Rain's estimated net worth is $18 million USD, but he has his wife own combined $43 million worth of real estate in SK. He has been investing in RE for years. In 2008 he bought $10 million USD commercial property in Gangnam.
