willenette Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Actors fight for their money : Delayed payments for film and television casts and crew have long been an issue There’s nothing worse than working hard and not getting paid for it. But it turns out that many people in the entertainment industry, including production staff and even some well-known celebrities, have been denied the paychecks that they were promised. Five celebrities, including actors Ko Soo, Kim Woo-bin and Koo Hye-sun, recently revealed that they had not been paid for work they had done years ago, and industry insiders claim that the situation is much worse for those who work behind the scenes. The on-going controversy started when the Korea Entertainment Management Association (CEMA) announced an official boycott of an advertising agency that failed to pay Ko and Kim for work they completed in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The agency is said to have worked with Ko and Kim in August 2012 and March 2013, but has failed to pay either of them even after being sued by both actors. “Recently, the number of cases in which people aren’t getting paid for their labor in the entertainment field is growing,” said CEMA in its official statement on Nov. 30. “This is damaging people from all over entertainment as well as those working in the field with good intentions. We at the CEMA have recognized that this is a serious matter, and we are working to solve the problem.” The agency is still refusing to pay the actors on grounds that it “has no money to pay with,” but both Ko’s agency and Kim’s agency are still fighting for their stars to get their money. “We’re keeping up with the legal measures… We’re not planning on giving up until we have a solution,” said Sidus HQ, Kim’s entertainment agency.

I wonder if this picture was taken prior his sickness or this is recent. I missed KWB! I'm happy to read the news that he's doing fine so far..... ________________________________________________________________ Korean Actors Who Can Brag About Having Legs For Day These Korean actors are not only known for their talent but their incredibly long legs! Many of them also came from modeling backgrounds, having been cast for their great proportions and height. “Manner legs” (standing with legs spread wide apart in order to accommodate shorter people) comes as a habit to them, all of whom top out over 180 cm (about 5.9 feet). Kim Woo B Kim Woo Bin, who had dreamed of becoming a model since he was in high school, debuted in 2009 and appeared in Seoul Fashion Week collections. Eventually he switched to acting and made a name for himself alongside some of the other actors on this list: namely Lee Jong Suk in “School 2013” and Lee Min Ho in “Heirs.” He has also had a solid film career with appearances in “Friend: The Great Legacy,” “The Con Artists,” and “Twenty.” He is currently on hiatus while recovering from a cancer diagnosis.

Cecentre Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hello everyone, this is the first time I'm here on Woobin's thread, as I was just worried how he's doing with his cancer treatment... I'm so glad to hear that he is recovering enough to carry on his daily life activities. That is good enough. I really just need him to be healthy and well, we can worry about him being back to the screen later. He should take plenty of time to recuperate! Health comes first! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
