Regarding recent reports claiming that actor Park Eun Bin demanded a fee of 300 million KRW (~225,000 USD) per episode for her upcoming drama, both her agency and the production company have strongly denied the accuracy of the information.

On January 29, a media outlet alleged that Park Eun Bin had requested a per-episode fee of 300 million KRW for her anticipated OTT series, 'Hyper Knife.'

The production company, Blaad Studio, and Disney Plus were reported to be negotiating Park Eun Bin's appearance fees.

However, Park Eun Bin's agency, Namoo Actors, refuted these claims, categorically stating to media outlet OSEN, "It's not true," and dismissing the reports as "baseless."

On the same day, Blaad Studio also addressed the situation to OSEN, asserting, "It's baseless, and our relationship with Park Eun Bin regarding both the actor and the script is positive. Park Eun Bin has had only two meetings with the director and one with the writer regarding the project." The statement continued, "We are in the initial stages of discussing conditions with the agency. The platform contract hasn't been finalized, and it's perplexing and awkward for such an article to surface at this juncture."

They further emphasized, "We are just initiating discussions, and it's bewildering for talks about the appearance fee and negotiations to surface at this point. Both parties find themselves in an awkward position."

Meanwhile, 'Hyper Knife' is a medical crime thriller portraying the narrative of a doctor who, also a serial killer, reunites with the mentor who led her into the abyss.

Park Eun Bin is poised to undertake the role of a psychopathic doctor, marking her first foray into a villainous character since her debut. The casting of Seol Kyung Gu as the antagonist has heightened industry interest in the project.

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.
