Staff Reporter It's a dilemma Korea has encountered many times before: plenty of tourists ― indeed, numbers are rising ― but a dearth of attractions with which to occupy them. In the past year, visitor numbers have increased, largely on the back of a weak won. But with exchange rates turning unfavorable to foreign visitors, the growth is beginning to slow. So authorities are faced with the same old problems: Put simply, the nation lacks things for foreign tourists to see and do. The tourism industry has been aware of the shortcomings for some time and has made efforts to develop new attractions and programs. Now another pair of developments are about to come to fruition.

According to the report "Comparison on Drama Making of Japan and Korea", led by researcher Kim Young-duk, the acting fees given to local star actors exceed those in Japan, decreasing the competitiveness in the drama production market. While local actors' pay account for 60 percent of the drama budget, Japanese actors based on a similar budget receive only 20 to 30 percent the amount.
