A girl group created by singer Im Chang Jung, who sold the copyright of his huge hit “A Glass of Soju”, will debut today (September 16th).
Singer and actor Im Chang Jung recently sold the copyright to his hit song “A Glass of Soju”, which is worth 100 million won per year, to debut a girl group.
This girl group consists of 5 members with both visuals and skills, including some participants from the Mnet audition show “Girls Planet 999” and MBC survival program “My Teenage Girl”.

In particular, the male singer-actor confessed that he sold the copyright of his biggest hit, “A Glass of Soju”, and 160 other songs to invest in the debut project. As it was previously revealed by the copyright fee trading platform “Music Cow” that “A Glass of Soju” alone can generate 118,458,970 won a year in copyright, this drastic decision of Im Chang Jung drew a lot of attention.
