    In general, the salaries are not made public (not like the MLS -- where we learn that newbies earn about minimum wage)

    However they estimate that the total outlay for player salaries are about $8 - $16 million a year per team or 80% of the total team budget of 10 - 20 million USD. (Someone check my Korean 4 digit counting system to USD conversion please)

    As in other countries, leagues, the salary distribution is far from even as some players draw more than $1million (e.g., Lee Chun Soo).

    Note this article was from 2006.

    Eh, rumors had it LDG was paid nearly $5 MIL so I am guessing LCS is probably near that amount as well.
