The South Korean show King The Land was indeed one of the most-watched K-dramas of 2023. The show saw popular stars YoonA and Lee Jun-ho in the lead roles and won the hearts of millions. With its cute and romantic story that has just the right amount of drama, the show was also a winner for Netflix as it allegedly scored 66 million views throughout its run. While the show was a big one, let’s learn how much the two stars were paid for it.
YoonA began her career in 2007 as a part of the K-pop girl group Girls’ Generation. A year later, she went on to pursue a career in acting and soon established herself as a leading lady. It did not take YoonA much time to grab projects that turned out to be a huge success. She is also a popular figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. On the other hand, Jun-ho is also a member of the popular band 2PM. In 2013, he made his acting debut and since then his career trajectory has only gone up.
Before King The Land, Lee Jun-ho starred in The Red Sleeve, which turned out to be a massive success. Following the successful run of the show, TMI News Show revealed that Jun-ho’s per episode salary has been increased and the actor would earn 100 million KRW (approx $76,200). If the report is to be believed, the actor must have taken home a whopping $1.2 million by the end of the 16-episodes-long show.
