Okay after that rage spazz about Kyungsoo dating rumours, I'm going to apologise by uploading a chapter. Well they're probably the richest celebrities so there's no excuse you shouldn't know them.

Idols with wealthy family backgrounds (not in order)
Siwon
Super Junior's Siwon is a well-known chaebol-dol (chaebol idol). His father, Choi Ki Ho, is the CEO ofBoryung Medicine Co., which specializes in the distribution of pharmaceutical goods. Siwon's family is also rumored to own theHyundai Department Store, one of the largest supermarket chains in Korea. If the rumor is true, it remains unclear what percentage of shares his family holds.
Hyungsik
Fellow ZE:A member Kwanghee revealed in a broadcast that Hyungsik's father is on the Board of Directors for the German 'B' brand car company. ZE:A's agency later revealed that Hyungsik is the son of a board of director for BMW Korea.
Suho
On a broadcast of Mnet's 'Beatles Code 2,' when Suho was asked whether he was a chaebol-dol, he said it was a misunderstanding. Then Kai added, "His hobby is to go golfing." (A "chaebol" is a wealthy Korean conglomerate, and, in Korea, golfing is almost always enjoyed by wealthy people.) On the same broadcast, Suho revealed he lives in Apgujung, next to Super Junior Siwon's apartment. His father is a professor and his mother is a former teacher-turned-housewife.
Jinwoon
2AM Jinwoon's wealth and well-off family background were revealed in a 'Radio Star' recording. When asked whether it was true his house in Chungdamdong had a private practice room, he admitted it was true that his house was located in Cheongdamdong with no comments regarding the practice room.
His father is the CEO of an unspecified company and his mother is an interior designer. He did reveal his father's company in Samsung district is located on Tehran Street (Teheran-no). With this comment, Jinwoon further raised eyebrows as Tehran Street is known to be one of the pricier plots of land in Seoul. Also, fellow memberSeulong mentioned that Jinwoon hired a party planner for his 21st birthday party, further hinting at Jinwoon's family wealth.
Sooyoung
Sooyoung's grandfather is the president of a famous architectural firm and her father is the president of a trading company. Shiiiiet right?
