[theqoo] KIM JAEJOONG : THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IN KOREA PAYS 9X MORE THAN JAPAN

MC: I don't know if this is an uncomfortable topic but

- Are appearance fees in Korea different from Japan for variety shows?

Jaejoong: The amount of money it takes to produce one show is also different

-The unit cost of the staff is also different

- The Korean side is higher

Jaejoong: It's higher for everything from dramas, movies, variety and CFs

- The Korean side is about 9x higher

"Isn't everybody there gonna quit?

Hul I wonder why it's 9x higher here??

1. It's natural that it's much more expensive than Japan. They earn hundreds of times more than Japan so why compare with Japan? It's been so long since the wage gap has widened

2. Huh? If their staffs get paid less than Korea, can they even survive? Or do they work half less than us?

3. I feel like actors should switch to a salary system

4. But doesn't that mean that not only celebrities but also industry staffs are paid more than in Japan? I think this is fine.

5. Japan has a lot of substitution power so I think that's why it ended up like this

6. But it's true that when you look at dramas and variety shows, the quality between Korea and Japan is just different

7. The Japanese entertainment industry is just ran by oldies

8. I knew that celebrities were severely getting paid a lot but this is even above my imagination....

9. Wow must be f*cking nice to be a celebrity

10. But the quality is indeed different
