Perfect Family’s production team denies unpaid fees

On July 17, Star News reported that the cast of KBS 2TV's upcoming drama Perfect Family's makers, set to air on Wednesdays and Thursdays, had yet to be paid their wages. 

Despite the drama being pre-produced and all filming completed, both lead and supporting actors have allegedly yet to receive their compensation, even though the drama is set to premiere in August. The report also noted that if the cast's appearance fees are settled after the drama's premiere, it could affect their participation in promotional activities as the stars will be unwilling to participate.

Later that day, a spokesperson from the drama's production company refuted the earlier claim that the cast had not received their wages. They clarified that all actors, who starred in the drama, have been compensated for their appearance fees.

The person shared that they are in the process of finalizing a revised contract with one actor, but there are no pending payments at this time.
