Editorial comment The so-called ‘1 Strike Instructor (No. 1 Star Instructor)’ is as popular and rich as a celebrity or sports star. In particular, as the demand for’internet lectures’ is increasing due to Corona 19, their ransom is soaring even more. Entrance examination academies invest tens of billions of billions of dollars to enlist first-class instructors. This is because their existence is directly connected to the sales of the academy. As such, it is common for first-hand instructors to gather together to maintain the No. 1 position. In this process, accusations and accusations are also frequent. There are also criticisms that the private education community shows too many aspects that should not be shown to children for money. Let’s take a look at the world of other instructors.

“Hyun Woo-jin, a mathematics instructor from Stanpert University, earns 20 to 30 billion won a year. Instructor Lee Ji-young of social research also exceeds 10 billion won. The best soccer player in Korea, Son Heung-min earns 11 billion won, 1 The world of other lecturers is also rebellious” (A, a person in charge of the entrance examination academy industry)
As the demand for’internet lectures’ (Ingang) explodes due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the ransom price of the ‘1st hit instructor’ (the top star instructor) is also soaring.
In general,’one-stroke instructor’ refers to an instructor who ranks first in sales at the affiliated academy or an instructor with the most students per subject on a large online lecture platform.
According to the admissions academy industry on the 6th, the salary of the instructor for the first stroke is not fixed. A certain percentage of the lecture fees paid by students to academies or private lecture sites is the share of the first instructor. The ratio differs depending on whether it is in-gang or hyeon-gang (on-site lecture). In Ingang, the online lecture platform and instructors divide the tuition revenue roughly at a 7:3 ratio. On the other hand, the lecturer’s influence is usually divided into 40% of the academy and 60% of the instructor.
◇The highest salary is mega study’Hyun Woo-jin’… Estimated up to 30 billion won
Currently, Woojin Hyun (MegaStudy), an instructor in mathematics, has the highest income among the instructors. Hyun’s annual salary is estimated by the industry to be between 20 billion and 30 billion won, including down payment, lecture income, and textbook sales.
This is an astronomical amount considering Son Heung-min’s current annual salary, which is contracted with Tottenham until June 2023, is £7.22 million (about 10.8 billion won). Hyun has a record of being the 1st in the total number of students in all online courses.
Hyun is a talented person who graduated early in three years and three months from Stanford University’s math department. In particular, the conversation was good, and the lectures were well received by the students by having fun telling the story of college days in the middle of the lecture.
Instructors also have good additional income. When signing a contract with a large academy every 1 to 5 years, the transfer fee (in the name of the down payment) amounts to billions of billions. In addition, the income from the sales of the teaching materials produced by the instructors is also his own share.
Hyun also described and wrote all the textbooks he lectured. Hyun revealed that in 2018, he sold 990,000 copies of’Neuron’, a representative self-produced textbook, on his SNS. Based on 28,000 won per book, the sales of textbooks alone amounted to 27.7 billion won.
It’s not just neurons. There are separate textbooks for each curriculum, such as starting point and feeling of moisture. When all these textbook sales are summed up, income surges to an astronomical level.
An official from the entrance examination industry explained, “The internet lecture market is divided into Hyun Woo-jin and the rest of all subjects, so Hyun’s share is overwhelming.”
