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 | |||||||||||||
Korean soap operas were the pinnacle of the Korean Wave that swept Asia. According to the Korean Broadcasting Institute (KBI), soap operas are still the most popular exported Korean TV program, accounting for 90 percent of TV programs exported in the first half of this year or US$53 million.
However, Korean TV is losing its competitive edge in Japanese and Chinese markets in terms of price and quality. Analysts say that producers' obsession with casting only top stars played against maintaining the quality of Korean soap operas. As a matter of fact, during the heyday of the Korean Wave, investment in lighting, props, stage art and supporting actors and actresses fell. Just six years ago in 2002, top stars were paid only W5 million (US$1=W1,301) per episode. According to a recent record, Song Seung-heon was paid W70 million per episode, Lee Jung-jae W50 million, and Choi Ji-woo W48 million -- showing that their values rose more than 10 times from about five years ago.
