The reason why the controversy over non-payment of performance fees is more bitter for’Great Dog’, which had a good influence[SS이슈]

[스포츠서울 정하은기자]Outsourcing producers of’Dogs are great’ are controversial because they do not pay the cast and staff’s performance fees and salaries.

The production crew of KBS2’s’Dogs are Great’ said, “It is true that we did not pay the performance fees to Hyung-wook Kang, Kyung-gu Lee, Do-yeon Jang, etc.” Revealed. KBS added, “There will be no disruptions in program production and broadcasting in the future, and we will try to solve it.”

Earlier, there was news that trainee Kang Hyung-wook, Lee Gyeong-gyu, and Jang Do-yeon, who are appearing in’Dogs Are Great’, are not receiving the fee. This is because Coen Media, the outsourcing producer of the program, did not pay the appearance fee due to management problems. It was confirmed that not only the performers but also the staff were in a situation where their wages were pushed.

The issue of non-payment of appearance fees in broadcasters is not a day or two. Recently, broadcasters of Coen Stars, an agency affiliated with Coen Media, suffered a conflict because they could not be settled for hundreds of millions of performance fees, and then there were situations such as canceling the contract one after another. Regarding this situation, Coen Media has not disclosed its position.

However, KBS’s explanation is that the broadcast will proceed without disruption due to the great affection of the production crew and performers for the program. KBS also said that it is trying to solve the problem by reviewing various plans.

Since the first broadcast of’Dogs are great’ in November 2019, it has been steadily loved by many people and has been evaluated as creating a mature companion animal culture. I hope that’Dogs are great’, which is exerting a good influence, is not stained by the issue of non-payment of performance fees.
