2010-08-31

 

After months of being charged and accused of fraud and embezzlement, singer Rain has finally responded with what looks on the surface to be a thinly veiled ruse to cut all ties from J. Tune Entertainment -- the company he had formed after leaving JYPE Entertainment in 2007.

Rain revealed in a recent interview with Money Today -- a local business daily --  his involvement with the company had strictly been as an investor and not the company’s head despite his role as a majority shareholder.

Union workers threaten to walk off TV show sets

 

Korea Artist Union for Broadcasting, Film and Performances will “refuse to work” for 13 television dramas that are currently airing, unless the three major broadcasters ― KBS, MBC and SBS ― settle an outstanding balance of over 4 billion won($3.4 millon) from the last two years.

Moon Je-kap, a union official, said more than 400 actors and actresses who have been working for TV shows that are produced by outside companies for major public broadcast corporations haven’t been paid their wages since 2008. “Aside from actors, there is an unestimated number of unpaid staff workers such as make-up artists and sound engineers,” Moon told The Korea Herald. “These people can’t even speak up because they are afraid that they will lose their job once they do.”
