On the 6th, Daily Sports said, “It is different for each actor, but about 30% of’Chosungu Masa’ was paid. As a rule of thumb, since filming was finished up to 14 times, it is a rule to receive 80% or more of the total appearance fee.” He reported that he is seeking opinions, saying,’Would you like to give 7 portions based on 14 episodes without paying the whole amount.’
From the management standpoint, it is a situation that he is not able to say,’I want all the shots up to the 14th episode’. The performance fees for supporting actors and minor roles are even higher.
A management official said through the media, “I am in a difficult situation, so it is ambiguous to say that I would like to ask for the original performance fee. However, if I do not receive the cost for each filming, the management also loses. It is a frustrating situation.”
Meanwhile, on the 26th of last month, SBS said, “We are deeply aware of the seriousness of this situation,” and “we decided to cancel the broadcast after canceling the contract for the purchase of the broadcasting rights for’Chosun-gu Masa’.”
‘Chosun Gumasa’ is a masterpiece with a production cost of about 32 billion won. Production companies are YG Studioplex, Crabworks, and Lotte Cultureworks.
SBS said the reason for the cancellation of the broadcast, saying, “I feel a heavy sense of responsibility as a terrestrial broadcaster,” even though it is “a situation where there is concern about economic loss and scheduling gaps between broadcasters and production companies.”
