My 8th Question: Do you think some famous athletes and entertainers deserve such high salaries as millions of dollars every year?

Sometimes, we can hear of the complaint that the famous athletes and entertainers get too high salarires comparing to ordinary people. For example, When Kim Dong Ju, a baseball player in Doosan Bears, became FA last year, his annual salary rose up to about 8,000,000,000 won. At the time, there were so many public opinions criticizing this phenomenon because the companies sponsoring each team feel managing a team is a big burden and if they suffered financial difficulty, they even could be willing to give it up like Hyundai Uniconrns. In addition to sports stars, entertainers have been a target of criticism. They are said that their pay is much bigger than their efforts.
However, I think they get what they deserve. To succeed is not as easy as someone just dreams. We usually tend to overlook their sweat behind success and be interested in their high rewards.
So, my question is : "Do you think some famous athletes and entertainers deserve such high salaries as millions of dollars every year?"

Hi, Joey!
I was really surprised by your greasy acting. You're usually calm and quiet in club activity. I didn't imagine that you have that kind of good talent. It was enjoyable to watch you on the stage.

Your question is quite tough. I like golfers such as Tiger Woods, Park Seri, Choi Kyongju. I agreed that they deserve high salaries because they are really hard-working on their jobs. However, some part that I can't agree is that sponsers are trying to get benefits from customers in order to pay those expensive salaries. If they don't need to pay money that much, I believe there must be good advantages for audience or spactators like lower entrance fee, better facilities, or better services.
