*** Oh Jung Se‘s speech during the Baeksang Awards has been making headlines for making KSH tears up. He won the award for the Best Supporting Actor at this year’s ceremony for his portrayal as Moon Sang Tae in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. Their bromance is real off-screen, too! I've watched the drama & he has incredible acting abilities in the series, as his character with autism. He stole the scene every time he appeared on the screen. Part of his speech was : (pls check below) As Oh Jung Se delivered his heartfelt acceptance speech, the camera panned over to Kim Soo Hyun who was captured with tears in his

 

 

eyes. Congratulations to Oh Jung Se and his well-deserved award!    

 

 

"People always say that the supporting actors are there to ‘help’ the main actors. The truth is, the main actors always do well, but the supporting actors can’t do anything without the main actors. I should have helped more in my role, but I ended up receiving so much more in this production.

 

The dongsaeng that I love so much, Moon Kang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun’s character.) Just looking at his eyes made me overflow with emotions."

— Oh Jung Se

*** Recently on website Ranker, a poll was created for fans of Korean dramas to vote for their favorite romantic comedy. While the resulting list is entirely subjective, these were the top 15 choices by fans on the poll!

How much are Kim Soo-hyun and Song Joong-ki paid? Breaking down K-drama stars' ever-rising salaries

 

 

K-dramas are big business and the engines that keep them running are their stars. Hot prime-time shows capture the zeitgeist in South Korea, but they’ve proven just as popular overseas, allowing big-name actors to command extravagant fees.

 

Yet, as K-dramas become more popular in the streaming market, star salaries have gone haywire.

 

After Korean dramas first caught the imagination of foreign viewers two decades ago, star salaries were known to be around 20 to 30 million won per episode, but the 100 million won (S$118,000) era soon followed when Korean idol Bae Yong-joon became the first to crack the mark for The Legend in 2007, the last show he headlined before retiring.

 

Eleven years later, Lee Byung-hun set a new benchmark when his per-episode fee for Mr. Sunshine was revealed to be 150 million won. And as the swelling streaming market heightened the value of Korean dramas around the world, the next milestone came just two years later, in 2020, when Kim Soo-hyun reportedly snagged 200 million won (US$155,000) per episode for It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.

 

Even that sum pales in comparison with the fees top actors are reputedly able to command in 2021 – there is talk of some being paid 300 million won per episode.

 

Dizzying as these numbers are, they don’t tell the whole story, as stars with international brand value can receive additional payouts for helping shows attract foreign investment and lucrative product placement deals, known as PPL in Korea.

 

These stars are undoubtedly valuable, but the astronomical rise in their fees has created an imbalance in the industry.

 

Stars and their management companies can hold shows to ransom and, while production budgets have risen significantly, the increase in star fees often means a squeeze somewhere else.

 

According to the Korean Broadcasting Actors Union, average appearance fees actually decreased by around 30 per cent from 2015 to 2019. The reality is that a plurality of the union’s members, 79.4 per cent, earn under 10 million won a year, with just 4.8 per cent earning more than 100 million won.

 

Furthermore, the inequitable system sees stars bagging ever bigger paydays but assuming none of the risk, unlike the producers. It doesn’t matter if a show is a hit or a flop, the big names get paid the same either way.

 

Many in the industry are calling for “running guarantees”, a system that would provide actors with a smaller upfront fee and profit participation later down the line, similar to the back end deals we hear of in Hollywood.

 

That aside, the steep rise in the stars’ salaries is only expected to continue as global streaming giants focus on Korea, increasing the competition for the industry’s biggest draws.

[HanCinema's News] Top 10 Male Korean Actors That Can Pull Off Any Genre

 

When speaking of a good actor, one of the main characteristics that comes into mind is whether or not they're versatile.

 

We all know those actors who have established themselves as masters of a particular genre or the other. However, these are our top 10 picks for the best Korean actors, in no particular order, who can take on any genre and nail it.

 

 

 

Kim Soo-hyun

 

Kim Soo-hyun is and has been a big name in the Korean entertainment industry for quite a while now and deservedly so. HIs duality perhaps was best showcased in the film "Secretly and Greatly" where he quite literally played two entirely different personalities. Kim Soo-hyun always impresses and we cannot get enough of him.

POSCO The Sharp renewed their contract with Kim Soohyun for 2 more years (until March 2023)

His first contract with POSCO was for six months ( mininum contract length for A listers) and then the company decided to renew him for two years after he got positive feedbacks

 

 

 

 

[Cinder9966]

He is the man, love hearing that from the company, another 2 years wow.  Posco is a high end business, I bet they are super picky to choose the artist to be their spoke person too.

*** "It’s Okay to not be Okay" is a beautiful drama. Not overrated but,that is a drama loved by many. And this is good because it was on Netflix. 
 

Must-Watch K-Dramas That Were Awarded At The 57th Baeksang Arts Awards

 

The Baeksang Arts Awards are considered to be the most prestigious awards that can be given to an actor, actress, or an entertainer in Korea. It is held annually and is the only awards ceremony in South Korea that takes theater, movies, and television into consideration. At the most recent 57th Baeksang Arts Awards, there were many K-dramas that were rightfully recognized. Here are seven of those awarded K-dramas that you don’t want to miss.

 

 

4. “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay”

The series “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” was nominated for Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Oh Jung Se was able to win for Best Supporting Actor.

 

 

Moon Kang Tae (Kim Soo Hyun) works as a caregiver in a psychiatric hospital. He meets a woman named Go Moon Young (Seo Ye Ji), who writes dark children’s books, and she takes a strong liking to him. She is determined to win Kang Tae’s heart, but Kang Tae can’t be bothered with romance and relationships because he is devoted to taking care of his older brother Moon Sang Tae (Oh Jung Se), who is autistic.

 

The series garnered a lot of publicity mainly because it was Kim Soo Hyun’s return to the small screen after being discharged from the military. The overarching tone and mood of the series is dark, but the focus on the relationship between the two brothers is the heart of the story. It’s not a surprise that Oh Jung Se was able to snag the award for Best Supporting Actor! It was one of the best performances ever!
