Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun's drama is known to cost 200 million won per episode.

According to the Hankook Ilbo on November 30th, Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun, who are currently active in the small screen, are paid more than 200 million won per episode.

Song Hye Kyo is leaving a strong impression by playing the role of Ha Young Eun, the head of the design team at a fashion company in SBS 'Now, We're Breaking Up'.

In tvN's 'Jirisan', Jeon Ji Hyun is meeting viewers as Seo Yi Gang, the best ranger in Jirisan National Park.

Both dramas are produced in 16 episodes, and it is estimated that Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun receive a total of 3.2 billion won for these works.

In the case of Song Hye Kyo, she already received more than 100 million won per episode in tvN's 'Encounter', which aired in 2018.

This was greatly influenced by the previous work, KBS2 'Descendants of the Sun', which gained popularity not only in Korea but also abroad.

It is reported that Jun Ji Hyun received 100 million won per episode when she appeared on SBS 'My Love from the Star' in 2013, and received more than 100 million won per episode on SBS 'The Legend of the Blue Sea' in 2016.

In addition to Song Hye Kyo and Jeon Ji Hyun, there is Lee Young Ae as a female actress who boasts a high ransom.

When Lee Young Ae appeared in SBS 'Saimdang, Memoir of Colors', which aired in 2017, her appearance fee per episode exceeded 100 million won.

Excluding them, there are only Son Ye Jin and Go Hyun Jung among top female stars who earn more than 100 million won.

On the other hand, officials explain that even with similar recognition and weight, male top stars are paid up to twice as much.

Kim Soo Hyun, who is currently known as the actor who receives the highest amount of appearances in Korea, is said to have received more than 500 million won per episode by appearing in Coupang Play's 'One Ordinary Day'.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
