Nichkhun is getting paid!

For being the face of Suzuki Thailand Jelato motorcycles. It’s rumored his endorsement deal is worth more than 10 million baht ($294,000 USD). Considering this is Thailand, that’s a whole lot pad-thais.

For this product, Suzuki was targeting the consumer youth population of Thailand. Nichkhun with his popularity, pretty face, and clean image  was lured in with a whole lot of cash to represent Jelato motorcycles.

I should correct the previous statement. Lets be honest, Jelato motorcycles are for young Thai girls.  Girls love Nichkhun. Get the connection? I don’t think any adolescent guy would want to ride a Jelato motorcycle. Its design inspiration is from an ice cream. It comes in bright red, pink, and happy baby blue.

Nichkhun was asked about the amount of his endorsement deal with Suzuki. Playfully he said he didn’t know.

“Why do you enjoy asking me this question (laughs). Really, I don’t know because this manner involves my manger in Korea and my manger in Thailand, they handle the negotiations. I have not gotten the money, so I don’t know how much my payment was.”

Nichkhun’s Cf for the Jelato motorcycle.

Yes, it is kinda weird writing an upbeat post about Nichkhun when Jaybeom has left 2PM over some nonsense scandal.  Korean netizens are ruthless.
