During the latest episode of the popular YouTube series 'Star! Cooking Room' featuring (G)I-DLE's Soyeon as the host, members of the rising group QWER, Magenta and Hina, openly shared about their modest earnings one year after their debut.

In this engaging episode, the duo showcased a healthy kalguksu recipe tailored for those watching their weight, incorporating chicken, vegetables, and tofu noodles. Magenta disclosed, "Our producer enforced strict workout routines and restricted us to a diet mainly consisting of chicken breast." Soyeon couldn't help but express her concern, "Isn't that against the law?"

Following this revelation, the host pondered, "Why the need to constantly monitor your weight? You already look amazing." Magenta explained, "When we appear on camera at award shows or events, we tend to appear heavier than we actually are. Shedding some pounds truly enhances our appearance and confidence on screen."

As the QWER members demonstrated the preparation of their low-calorie dish, Soyeon curiously inquired, "You guys have participated in numerous festivals. What's the largest fee you've received for a single appearance?" Magenta discreetly disclosed the figure to Soyeon, prompting an assumption about their individual earnings.

Unexpectedly, Hina chimed in, "Surprisingly, we only received 1,200 won (less than $1 USD) for our maiden performance." Soyeon's astonishment was evident, but Magenta clarified, "Though not exactly 1,200 won, it was undeniably a nominal sum."
