On the 24th, Lim Hyung-joon appeared on Lee Ji-hye's YouTube channel 'Unhateful Attention Sister'.
Lim Hyung-joon, who is currently filming Disney Plus 'Fine', carefully asked Lee Ji-hye "How much does it cost to shoot something like that?"
Lim Hyung-joon "Isn't there a lot of issues about pay these days. Isn't there a public opinion that the production recession is due to the ransom of actors. In fact, only the main characters are expensive, but it's similar to what it was 20 years ago.'"I honestly think so. I can be criticized by the main actors, but I think I should disclose the ransom of the main actors."

Recently, the cost of starring actors per drama episode has soared to hundreds of millions of dollars, affecting the drama production environment. As more than 50 percent of the drama's production cost is spent on actors' performance fees, it is difficult for production companies to even make works.
Most of the public seems to agree with Lim Hyung-joon's remarks. Netizens say, "It is true that the main actor has that much skill and popularity, and that he should receive more than the supporting actor, but I think he should be criticized for being transparent.", "I really agree. "Please reveal the main actor's salary." I don't really watch dramas after watching the main characters", "I hope that we can create an environment where supporting actors can breathe by deducting the fees for the leading actors who are too high." I sympathized with Lim Hyung-joon's remarks by leaving comments such as back.
