It would be like being mad at the drummer because he doesn ' t play guitar <| sep |> Yes . I think they are stepping up in terms of pay though but generally Koreans don ' t play in Korea for the pay . They play in Korea to winget recognizedget the trophyget to finals and if they don ' t they consider it a failure . China still pays the most . Smeb can probably cash in so much from China if he chooses to . Probably close to $ 1 m or more for a player of his caliber .
