Joo Ji Hoon, the model turned actor, decided to leave the drama ‘Hong Gil-dong’ only a week before production because Olive Nine, local drama production house and Joo couldn’t agree on the financial terms of the contract. Olive Nine offered him a financial package similar to his latest drama, ‘The Devil’, but Joo wanted what Yun Eunhye was getting in ‘Coffee Prince’, estimated at US $20,000 per episode.
After Joo Ji Hoon’s announcement, Jo Hyun Jae also left the drama. Jo accepted the supporting role in ‘Hong Gil-dong’ because of Joo’s “star power,” but as Joo left the drama, that supporting role became meaningless to him.
Joo & Jo are actively seeking out new drama roles while producers of ‘Hong Gil-dong’ are hastily trying to cast these roles before the camera starts rolling. ‘Hong Gil-dong’ is expected to air sometime in November on KBS2.
