Rain & BoA’s voice insurance

How much are Rain and BoA’s voices insured?

The value of the two stars’ voices were examined in MBC Every1’s “Magazine One,” which will be aired on April 2 at 6:55 pm.

Insurance in Korea is unlike in Hollywood where each part of a celebrity’s body are separately insured. Voice insurance is given a special provision in the insurance policy and an appropriate tag price.

“When Rain’s performing, his voice is insured for 10 billion won. In the case of BoA, she gets 5 billion won,” a “Magazine One” crew member said.

Meanwhile, Sung Si Kyung’s voice was evaluated to be also worth 5 billion won.
