But now, the number of opportunities has drastically decreased.
Industry insiders are expressing frustration, citingNetflixs influence as a major factor.
Even well-known actors and actresses are struggling to find roles, as opportunities have become scarce.
Fellow actressGo Hyun Jungechoed similar concerns, revealing,“Im not getting any offers for roles.
I dont need to be the lead, and Im even willing to lower my appearance fee.
This marks the first decline in a decade.
This collapse in the broadcasting ecosystem could soon turn into a crisis for the Korean Wave (Hallyu).
“Experts emphasize the need to address the imbalances brought on by these global platforms.
Was it Netflix that raised the fees, or was it the actors themselves?
““First of all, we should talk about lowering the rates for famous actors.
They get billions for a single appearancedo they really think they’re worth that much?
Stop blaming Netflix and understand the root of the problem.
I vote that even 100 million KRW per episode is too much.
““It’s the actors who raised the production costs, so what are they talking about?
Terrestrial networks and cable channels are all still making dramas.
If the number of productions has decreased, just how many were being made before?
““Do they not realize they’re not as popular as they think?
But who’s really in charge now?
““What does Netflix have to do with this?
If just two lead actors lowered their fees, the issue would be resolved.
“Then they should decrease their appearance fees.”
