If remuneration is the issue, the association should not enter as they are the 3rd party and it would complicate issues. The remuneration issue should be left settled between Park Shin Yang and the filming company. If the remuneration discussed is too high since in today’s poor economic situation globally, arbitration should be settled as soon as possible. But at least be fair enough to provide proper remuneration for Park Shin Yang. E.g. referring to his previous contracts of his extension episodes remuneration and looking into his current popularity and his market value in today’s context.

So, the television company probably made a great deal of money in ad revenue from the entire series. Not to mention the revenue accrued due to DVD sales and possible rebroadcasts. The television and production companies got paid. Park Shin Yang's latest drama "The Painter of the Wind" just finished airing, interesting timing. Somehow, I do not think this ban will work to this associations advantage. I think Mr. Park will be back to work in no time, at least I hope he will be! “Money’s Warfare” was very popular when it aired last summer which is why they wanted to extend it by 4 episodes.

Whether he is greedy or not is another issue, but he should get his pay as per agreement. 1 million won is just about USD750. 30-40mil won is about USD22k-30k… not a small sum, but not really that big compared to Hollywood.

Why did they agree to it in the first place. Probably because they CAN pay that amount but just decided they don't want to. I would not trust the studios in movies and music. Those people want to not pay anything if they can while they make a big profit. what the studios are making in returns needs to be looked at to determine what the actors can be paid. For decades, movies industry and music industry in America made billions from the talents of actors and musicians without giving them comparable pay. So, don't believe that the studios. If they were hurting then they never would have agreed to pay the money thaey said in the first place. They're just greedy and so are the artists. Their ALL greedy. Lawyers love the entertainment business because those people are continuously suing each other over money. Most of them have several lawsuits going at once. It's ridiculous. That’s the key.
