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'.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
