Kapanlagi.com - Kim Soo Hyun is currently facing a major controversy due to allegations of a romantic scandal with Kim Sae Ron, who was underage at the time. This case has had a massive impact on Kim Soo Hyun's career as one of South Korea's top actors.
One of the consequences is the postponement of the airing of his latest drama, 'KNOCK-OFF'. This drama, which also stars Jo Bo Ah, was originally scheduled to air in April.
1. Drama Production Delayed Without Certainty
The drama 'KNOCK-OFF' was initially planned to have two seasons with a total of 18 episodes, with the first season already completed filming. The production team even planned to finish the second season next month before this controversy arose.
However, due to the scandal involving Kim Soo Hyun, the entire production schedule is now reported to be temporarily halted. This uncertainty not only affects the cast and crew but also Disney+, which now has to consider its next steps.
2. Potential Losses Reaching Hundreds of Billions of Won
With a production budget of more than 60 billion Won (around Rp 676.77 billion), 'KNOCK-OFF' is a major project featuring Kim Soo Hyun as one of the lead actors. He is reported to receive a payment of 500 million Won (around Rp 5.64 billion) per episode or a total of 9 billion Won (around Rp 101.55 billion) for the first season.
If this drama is canceled, Kim Soo Hyun risks facing penalty claims reaching 180 billion Won (around Rp 2 trillion), depending on the contract agreed upon. Additionally, he may also face fines from various brands that have made him their ambassador, considering he currently has 16 active advertising contracts.
