"River Where The Moon Rises" Supporting Actors Faces Rough Time
In the news obtained by AllKPop.com, No Cut News cited that the production's current concerns caused worries among the supporting actors.
A representative from "River Where The Moon Rises" explained to the publication that the supporting actors failed to "write a contract and did not verbally discuss the payment, but there were too many articles published about the actors' re-filming with no guaranteed pay."
In addition, the drama official also mentioned that the supporting actors are having a rough time with the situation since they have "little to no say" regarding talent fees.
"So most of them gave up on the discussion because they are wary that their relationship with the production company might turn bad," the representative furthered.
However, "River Where The Moon Rises" production company, Victory Content, explained the reason behind the production woes.
They revealed that shooting the drama series was "too urgent and in haste."
With this, they were not able to "completely discuss" and "organize" the scenes.
"The current situation with the filming is too urgent, and in haste, so we did not get the chance to completely discuss and organize the episodes that the actors are to appear for the re-filming," the production company mentioned, adding that they asked the actors for their utmost "understanding" and patience on the said situation.
As for the talent fees, Victory Content revealed that they vowed to "settle the payment for the actors with relatively small appearances" and shared that they plan to pay the exact fee "around next week."
