In the entertainment industry, it should be expected (and just) for the Korean celebs to be able to get their full salary on time. However, this is not always the case. There are actors who are still, up until now, waiting to get fully paid for their past projects. And what's worse? Some actually been waiting for over ten years!
- Gong Seung Yeon and Jung Yoo Mi
Jung Yoo Mi and Gong Seung Yeon worked together as cast in the drama "Master: God of Noodles" (2016). Two years later, in 2018, they both revealed that they remain unpaid entirely for their performance on the project.
- Lee Na Young, Rain, and Lee Jung Jin
Actors Lee Na Young, Lee Jung Jin, and Rain all were lead stars of the series titled "Fugitive: Plan B." Unfortunately, the three of them faced the same dilemma as they all haven't received their salary fully for their appearance in the said series. The main reason for this issue is that the drama production company eventually shut down, which resulted in the actors not receiving the payment they deserved.
- Kim Woo Bin and Go Soo
Kim Woo Bin and Go Soo have the same problems since they also signed contracts with advertising companies way back in 2012 and 2013. However, they didn't get the compensation after fulfilling the contract deal.
- Sung Yu Ri
Sung Yu Ri performed in the drama "Swallow The Sun," which was released in 2009. Ten years after the conclusion of the drama, it was reported publicly that Sung Yu Ri still hadn't received the full payment for her appearance on the show.
- Kim Min Jung
Min Jung starred in the Korean drama that was aired way back in 2009, titled "Strike Love." It's already been over a decade since the drama ended, but still, the actress hasn't received her pay.
