Kim Gura calls out an idol actor for outrageously high drama casting price

[+116] 400 million won... Even talented, top actors don't usually pass the 200 million won mark, how shameless do you have to be to even ask for 400 million won? I hope we find out who it is because I want to see just how talented they really are to be making such demands..
[+115] So demoralizing. I could barely save 400 million won working myself to the bone for 10-20 years and still not even come close... There's never a point to worry for these celebrities~~ worry about yourselves, guys...
[+56] I don't think this is an issue that the rest of us should butt in on. The celebrity industry is a highly specialized industry with intense competition and work to build the kind of fame that we see.
[+56] Wouldn't that amount have been demanded by the agency? I highly doubt the idol is getting paid all of that alone.
[+43] Well, isn't the solution simple? Don't cast them if they're demanding too much, and cast them if you feel that they deserve that much. There's no "shame" in any of this. Netizens must have nothing better to do than be hunting down who this person could be ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+33] I don't know if this is something the idol deserves hate for... If they asked for it and didn't get it, then that's that... It's not like they tried to abuse anyone to get hired for that amount. Feels a bit excessive to have netizens hunting them down.
[+28] Just don't hire them if they're asking for too much... Who knows if the idol just put out a ridiculous number because they didn't want to be cast for it in the first place?
[+19] Let's be real, that idol is not the one going around "give me 400 million won"... It's requested by the agency. So many agencies have been known to ruin their own celebrity's image with these ridiculous demands. I don't think it's fair to hunt anyone down just to hate on them. I doubt this is what Kim Gura would've wanted either...
[+19] Reminds me of what director Jang Hang Joon shared on 'Yoo Quiz,' that during his FD days, he'd work overnight all week long just for a celebrity to waltz in, getting paid their month's pay for an hour of work, while making all sorts of demands to take this out, add this in, saying things that needed to be censored out later... ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+16] Most actors are around the 200-300 million won mark so they did go pretty far with that ask
[+15] We don't work in the industry so we don't see all of the factors that go into coming up with a number like this. Although people are free to demand whatever number they want, it's obvious that they crossed an industry standard if it's being pointed out as a special case.
[+10] Damn, is anyone worth 400 million won an episode, though?
[+8] Cha Eun Woo?
[+4] I feel like it could be CEW
[+4] I doubt it was the idol making those demands, obviously it's the agency
[+1] And maybe that idol is worth 400 million won? There's no reason that just because they're an idol, that their pay as an actor should be lower for it. If their talents don't match up to the pay, then it will naturally go down. If they really were that bad but still demanding 400 million won, they'd just be laughed out of the room, no? I don't really see why this topic is such an issue.
[+1] Could be SZ?
