Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun's drama is known to cost 200 million won per episode.

According to the Hankook Ilbo on November 30th, Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun, who are currently active in the small screen, are paid more than 200 million won per episode.

Song Hye Kyo is leaving a strong impression by playing the role of Ha Young Eun, the head of the design team at a fashion company in SBS 'Now, We're Breaking Up'.

In tvN's 'Jirisan', Jeon Ji Hyun is meeting viewers as Seo Yi Gang, the best ranger in Jirisan National Park.

Both dramas are produced in 16 episodes, and it is estimated that Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun receive a total of 3.2 billion won for these works.

In the case of Song Hye Kyo, she already received more than 100 million won per episode in tvN's 'Encounter', which aired in 2018.

This was greatly influenced by the previous work, KBS2 'Descendants of the Sun', which gained popularity not only in Korea but also abroad.

It is reported that Jun Ji Hyun received 100 million won per episode when she appeared on SBS 'My Love from the Star' in 2013, and received more than 100 million won per episode on SBS 'The Legend of the Blue Sea' in 2016.

In addition to Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun, there is Lee Young Ae as a female actress who boasts a high ransom.

When Lee Young Ae appeared in SBS 'Saimdang, Memoir of Colors', which aired in 2017, her appearance fee per episode exceeded 100 million won.

Excluding them, there are only Son Ye Jin and Go Hyun Jung among top female stars who earn more than 100 million won.

On the other hand, officials explain that even with similar recognition and weight, male top stars are paid up to twice as much.

Kim Soo Hyun, who is currently known as the actor who receives the highest amount of appearances in Korea, is said to have received more than 500 million won per episode by appearing in Coupang Play's 'One Ordinary Day'.

NewJeans’ Danielle opened her heart to fans after a long break — and her message is touching everyone.

On April 30, Danielle wrote a heartfelt message through NewJeans’ shared fan communication account. It was her first post in a while, and fans were quick to show their love.

Danielle wrote, “As I read all the letters Bunnyz (NewJeans’ fan club) sent me, I felt so many emotions. I was reminded of how powerful just one word can be. One sentence can bring comfort, and writing can really touch someone’s heart. Most of all, I felt how strong and warm Bunnyz are.”

She continued, “Each time I read a letter, I could feel your sincerity. It felt like your words were healing me, little by little. I truly felt like Bunnyz are holding my hand and really believe in me.”

She added, “Let’s always remember we’re not alone. I hope we can be each other’s comfort when needed. Even if we don’t get to meet or hug in person, I believe we’re still giving each other strength and positive energy.”

Danielle ended by saying, “Thank you for being my support during the hardest time. Thank you for always shining light at the end of the tunnel, and for believing in me and my members.”

Fans are calling her letter a healing moment, as it comes after NewJeans’ tough legal battle with their agency ADOR.

Back in November, NewJeans announced they were halting group activities, saying their contracts with ADOR were no longer valid. But ADOR took the matter to court, asking for legal action to stop the group from signing new deals or leaving the company.

The court sided with ADOR and rejected NewJeans’ reasons, including claims about the lack of a producer after former CEO Min Hee Jin was removed. The group appealed, but the court dismissed it again.

During this difficult time, NewJeans referred to themselves as “revolutionaries” and paused all activities.

Now, with Danielle’s emotional message, fans are feeling hopeful again. Many Bunnyz are leaving supportive comments like, “We’ll always believe in you” and “Take all the time you need.”

Danielle’s words reminded everyone that even during dark times, a little love goes a long way.
