Jang Seo-hee spoke about the rumor of a 50 billion won fee for her appearance in a Chinese drama.
On the 6th, during the broadcast of tvN STORY's "What's the Use of Leaving Behind?", Jang Seo-hee appeared as a special MC and discussed with guests Hwang Chi-yeol, Park Ji-hyun, and Kim Pung.
Jang Seo-hee garnered significant love with hits from the early 2000s, starting with MBC's "The Mermaid Lady" and going all the way to SBS's "Temptation of Wife."
Additionally, as a first-generation Hallyu star, she made her mark in China and gained popularity, which led to rumors that she was receiving the "best treatment for Chinese appearances," resulting in discussions about the 50 billion won fee.
On that day, Lee Young-ja noted, "It was also reported in the news that Seo-hee's appearance fee was 5 billion won. The appearance fees in China are 100 times those in Korea," mentioning the rumor.
Jang Seo-hee clarified, "The 50 billion won is correct. However, it's not my appearance fee; it was the drama production cost from 20 years ago that was 50 billion won."
Park Se-ri, who was listening, also empathized, saying, "The total prize money in golf is 8 billion to 9 billion won, but I thought the winner took it all."
