Haechan generally earns from sales, events, and overseas promotions of the groups to which he belongs. As per Channel Korea, SM Entertainment's artists get 5% income from physical sales, 10% from renewed physical sales, 40% from events, and 70% from overseas promotions- and the rest goes to the company.
