[theqoo] KIM SOOHYUN, ULTIMATELY NOTIFIED OF ‘INDEFINITE SUSPENSION’… PENALTY DISCUSSION UNDERWAY

According to a media outlet on the 23rd, the production team of Disney+’s Knock-Off recently informed cast and crew that filming has been indefinitely postponed, and the release schedule has also been delayed.

In response, Disney+ told YTN Star, “We have no further comment beyond the earlier announcement that the release of Knock-Off has been temporarily put on hold.”

Knock-Off is a major production with a reported budget of 60 billion KRW (~45 million USD), and Kim Soohyun’s appearance fee is said to be around 9 billion KRW (~6.75 million USD).

The production team is currently discussing potential penalties related to the disruption in production. Industry sources suggest the penalties could amount to as much as 180 billion KRW (~135 million USD), three times the production budget, though the exact figure has not been confirmed.

1. Homeplus should take care of their penalty fee too

2. Disney, fighting. Let’s go with the penalty fee

3. I’m hoping for 180 billion 🙏

4. Receive the penalty fee and get rid of it

5. The appearance fee is honestly ridiculous

6. 9 billion??? This is honestly oba

7. His appearance fee was 9 billion????????
