Does this issue only happen in drama? Like, when an actor/actress starring in a movie, do they get paid immediately?

 

Why did this thing occur in the first place? Does the drama has been in deficit? Less viewer, less money?

...What is this work ethic? Why aren't they getting paid?

For dramas only I think since I read once way before that they get paid right away once they sign a contract for movies that why a lot of actors and actresses choose to do movies more than dramas.

 

It's because of the production company of the drama that's why they're not getting paid. For Lee Nayoung's case, it's because prod company failed to secure funding mid-way through the drama and/or the low-ratings as well. Not sure why the others aren't being paid but it's quite worrying because if these big names aren't getting paid until now then most likely the actors/actresses who have small roles in the dramas these veteran actors participated in haven't gotten paid yet as well.

they cant do lawsuit ?

Why they can't just do lawsuit? I don't get how this work tbh.

Soooo...contracts. Where are they?

As far as I know, most of them have taken legal actions already like Lee Nayoung, Goo Hyesun, Kim Woobin, Sung Yuri,  and Go Soo. Not quite sure about Kim Minjung and Lee Jungjin but they probably have brought it up with the Korean Entertainment Management Association.

It is quite worrying. No wonder they appear on so many shows and ask desperately for the viewers to watch them. Tbh so many kdramas are produced i can't even keep up with them in one week.

Very unfortunate :/

Edit : is this old news bc 2011 is like 7 years ago, why written again now?

But when they put mediocre idols I bet they paid in cash immediatly

Here's the attention I give.

To think those actual A list, popular and respected by public, didn't get paid, you think these non actor, unknown and not respected by public get the money easily?

I think they do, mainly because they have these support from their companies, however, I cannot assure this situation

It's not old news. I think they made an article with the compiled list of actors and actresses since individual news articles about the situation of the lawsuit and/or complaints of two or three of these actors and actresses have been coming up again since they haven't been settled until now.

Nahhh. Goo Hyesun was still part of YG she filmed the drama and when she filed a lawsuit but she still hasn't been paid yet. A big and powerful company like SidusHQ still have this kind of case (Kim Woobin).

 

All of these actors have support from their companies and we are talking about big names here. Add in the fact that they are highly regarded more than idols as well.  So nope, it's not about their companies and it's not true that idols will get paid immediately compared to actors.

I wanted to add something, I don't justify AT ALL this situation, however, I don't really know the profit these dorama make, so maybe the lack of resources might come from the results of profic of the dramas

Gave an example above. For Lee Nayoung's case, the production company boasted a 10B won production but failed to lack funding mid-way through the drama and the ratings became lower and lower. I think it really is certain production company's fault for these situations. I mean there are low-ratings dramas that still paid their actors and actresses in full/that have no complaints like this one. Anyway, since these people have filed complaints to KEMA, the organization is working on blacklisting/boycotting these production companies already. https://www.soompi.com/2018/01/15/kim-min-jung-not-received-payments-appearance-drama-kema-responds/Though it is frustrating since it looks like the process is reaaaally slow on the lawsuits and the boycotting.

This happens a lot of times even to A-list actors and actresses. Remember even Song Hye Kyo & Hyung Bin did not get paid for their drama that they both have to give up their payments years later. And both Song Hye Kyo and Hyung Bin are Top Stars. I heard even support roles and staff members did not get paid in that drama that they did because the producing company goes bankrupt.

I thought you're trolling :imstupid:

What support? You think these a listers have no whatever support the idols get from their companies?

These names are actual, respectable, with reputation actors. They didn't get paid. Here, you think some unknown idols with mediocre skills with no reputation get it?

If I have no assurance, I wont say things as if I'm sure of it. But maybe that's just me :imstupid:
