On July 9, 2024, Rakuten Girls revealed delayed payments, with some girls expressing dissatisfaction as they only received their first salary at the end of June since the season started, indicating meager pay. The girls, who mainly relied on activities, endorsements, and profit-sharing from live streaming, are now facing a significant drop in income due to plunging live streaming earnings. The article highlights the impact on popular girl Wu Yixuan among the Rakuten Girls. The Rakuten team attributed the delay in salary payments to delayed contract signings with all 35 girls affected. While some received March salaries by the end of June, others are still waiting, including those who have only received one payment so far. Some girls even struggled to pay rent and urged the team to act promptly. One girl mentioned her income dropping from around 90,000-100,000 per month to just 20,000, citing the sharp decline in live streaming earnings and lack of event income. The situation has left the girls in distress.
