Actor Park Hyung Sik’s agency has denied reports that he was paid 400 million won per episode for a drama.
Previously on September 16, Dispatch reported that Park Hyung Sik’s appearance fee for the KBS2 drama “Twelve” was 400 million won (approximately $289,700) per episode.

In the drama, Park Hyung Sik played the role of Ogui. The drama peaked at 8.1 percent viewership with its premiere episode and continued its run with a rating of 2.4 percent for the finale.
In response to the report, on September 17, Park Hyung Sik’s agency REVE Entertainment released the following statement:
Hello, this is REVE Entertainment.
