1. [+527, -46] I understand that celebrities are considered top class and famous to many but I think they're paid way too much. Hundreds of millions of won per episode... they get paid more per episode than anyone who works at a big company can make in a year.

2. [+479, -26] There should be moderation to everything, this is just ridiculous...

3. [+30, -1] And I bet you the staff on this drama are barely paid two million won

4. [+29, -7] They live in their own world... their own damn fu*cking world

5. [+26, -1] Reportedly Lee Seung Gi makes 100 million won per episode... everyone's insane ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+21, -2] How about dramas cut back on how much the celebrities are paid and treat their staff better? Staff are always given slave wages while the celebrities are marked up to the skies.

7. [+19, -1] I wish the staff would get paid more, they're all in this together

8. [+18, -1] 200 million won an episode, that's so bad...

9. [+18, -1] He makes so much money, why does he hit on girls by giving them free hotel gifts

10. [+16, -8] I'm sure he brings in that much more in income for them to be paying him that much ㅋㅋ there's no moderation to this, it's a business

11. [+13, -1] There really needs to be reform on celebrity pay. Why do they get paid this much when staff who have more physically intensive labor get paid less...;;;

12. [+13, -3] You could probably improve working environments by a ton just by cutting back on celebrity pays... there are some who don't even deserve being paid that much
