The production company behind upcoming drama “Perfect Family” has issued a statement denying reports of unpaid appearance fees.
On July 17, Star News reported that the cast of KBS 2TV’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama “Perfect Family” had not yet received their wages. As the show is a pre-produced drama, all filming has already been completed, yet the report claimed that the lead and supporting actors have not been paid even though the drama is set to premiere in August. The report also noted that if the cast’s appearance fees were not paid before the drama’s premiere, the actors would be unlikely to participate in promotional activities.
Later that same day, a spokesperson from the drama’s production company denied the claim that the cast had not been paid. They stated, “The appearance fees of all actors who participated in the drama have been paid. We are currently redrafting a revised contract with one actor, but there are currently no outstanding payments.”
Based on a popular webtoon, “Perfect Family” is a mystery drama where a seemingly happy and perfect family begins to suspect each other when their daughter becomes entangled in a murder. The series, which marks the return of KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday dramas after nearly two years, stars Kim Byung Chul, Yoon Se Ah, Kim Young Dae, Park Ju Hyun, Yoon Sang Hyun, Lee Si Woo, Kim Do Hyun, and more.
“Perfect Family” is currently set to premiere on August 14 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
