Controversy is building over news that actor Lee Byeong-heon is being paid W100 million per episode for appearing in the KBS drama "Iris" (US$1=W1,158).A newspaper reported on Wednesday that Lee was guaranteed at least W100 million for each episode of the spy thriller, considering a W25 million per episode performance fee and a W1.5 billion advance. The figure is well above the W15 million per episode guideline set by the Corea Drama Production Association (CODA), and the third highest in the industry history. The record is a whopping W250 million per episode paid to actor Bae Yong-joon for the MBC drama "The Legend" (The Four Guardian Gods of the King), followed by W100 million per episode promised to Park Shin-yang for four extra episodes of "War of Money". "In Lee's case the amount includes a combination of things, such as proceeds from sales of domestic and overseas broadcast rights, so it's not clear that his fee exceeds the guideline", said CODA head Shin Hyun-taik. ...| More | |||||||||||||
Top actor Park Shin-yang Monday won a legal victory in his efforts to get the production firm for "War of Money", which he starred in, to pay him a guaranteed fee.The Seoul High Court upheld a lower court ruling and ordered the production firm to pay 380 million won it had promised for extra appearances Park made in the popular television series. "Although the guarantees promised in the extra contract were three times that paid for Park's appearances in the original contract, the signing of the contract didn't involve anything that was seen as being illegal", the court said. Park appeared in the television series at the end of 2006 based on a contract that promised him 45 million won for each of 16 installments. When the SBS series was a success, the production company and Park agreed on four extra episodes in which Park appeared for 600 million won in total. Park took legal action when the production firm failed to pay him as promised....| More | |||||||||||||

By Park Si-sooStaff Reporter Actor Park Shin-yang won his lawsuit against a drama production firm for a performance fee. The Seoul Central District Court ruled Friday that the drama production agency should pay 386 million won ($306,700) to Park for starring in four additional episodes of the hit TV drama "War of Money" in 2007. The 41-year-old filed the suit against the agency last December after it refused to pay the contracted fee for the additional episodes. The agency alleged Park tried to capitalize on the drama's high popularity by asking for too much money. It also claimed the fee he had received per regular episode be equally applied to the additional episodes because they are part of the drama. In 2006, Park signed a contract with the company worth 45 million won per episode of the drama, initially made up of 16 episodes. As the drama enjoyed high popularity, the company decided to film four extra episodes. Park agreed to appear in the extra productions in ex...| More | |||||||||||||

Staff Reporter University student Kim did not start out as an avid fan of Korea's top male group TVXQ. In fact, she didn't like them at all. "They were different and it was hard to understand what they were going for at first", the 19-year-old student, who wished to be identified by her last name, told The Korea Times. But now, she is one of the group's biggest fans, flying out eagerly to Japan to watch them perform at a concert. If you happen to find a crowd of excited teens grouped somewhere taking photos, reaching out for a glance with arms full of presents, it means a star is within the vicinity. In the late '90s, fans were more humble and passive; they would memorize lyrics, follow dance moves and dress up like their favorite stars. But now, they have become more systemized and active, from publishing advertisements on daily newspapers to donating money under the name of their singers and actors. "The Internet has helped a great deal in what fan...| More | |||||||||||||
