Park Seo Joon is currently one of South Korea's most bankable stars, which means his worth in terms of dollar value is big. This is not surprising, given the actor's busy career, not just in doing Korean dramas, modeling, or endorsing, but also vlogging.
Park Seo Joon Net Worth 2021
Park Seo Joon is earning big from his official career as an actor. Recent estimates pegged Park Seo Joon to be at $5 million dollars.
His rise can be described as steady, so it's so much more stable. After appearing in Bang Young Guk's "I Remember" music video, he started with a small role in "Perfect Game," which can be described as his debut movie project.
But the small project certainly caught the eye of many showrunners because, after this, he already starred in one notable drama series after another, starting with "Kill Me, Heal Me" and then followed with so many more others who made him a household name.
These shows include but are not limited to "She Was Pretty," "Hwarang," "Fight for My Way," and "Itaewon Class."

The most recent one that made his fans swoon is "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?" His performance in the drama had critics labeling him as the "Master of Romantic Comedy."
Park Seo Joon reportedly earned US $25,000 per episode of "She Was Pretty," a project that was still way back 2015. One can only imagine how much he earns now per episode and how his net worth must have grown given all the projects he did.
Plus, he also has a lot of movie projects that earned him a tidy sum.
From "Midnight Runners," made US$13.6 million in the first five days of its release. A movie that earns big also has a corresponding impact on its actors' earnings. He also made a cameo appearance in the Oscar-winning film "Parasite," which earned at least US$264 million from worldwide ticket sales.
His endorsements of big brands also bring in a stable, sizable amount.
Park Seo Joon, an Officially Successful YouTuber
Earning from YouTube may be easier for celebrities given they already have a solid fan base that can just hit subscribe in order to see them outside of television, but this does not mean they do not work hard.
Park Seo Joon entered YouTube and worked so hard he earned the first Youtube Gold Creator Award ever given to a Korean star in June 2020.
Since YouTubers hardly announce how much they earn, one has to rely on bare estimates.
Based on the data produced by Content Career, the average salary of a YouTuber with at least one million subscribers is around US $57,200 annually.
It is not surprising therefore that earlier last year, he was able to make a massive purchase from his earnings. He underlined how big his spending power is by dropping US $9 million for a building located in Seoul's Gangnam District.
His generous sidekicks in though because he placed his long-time glam team there, who occupied the 3rd to 5th floors at a much-discounted rate, given the pandemic.
