Those who still haven't been paid by the KBS 2TV drama "Inspiring Generation" are giving up after a year of waiting to get paid.

"Inspiring Generation" hasn't been able to pay its actors for a year. While those actors and actresses who belong to the Korean Broadcasting Actors' Labor Board have gotten about 80% pay, those who don't belong in that organization are sick and tired of waiting.

A resource says, "The production keeps telling everyone to wait, but it doesn't look like they have any intention to pay anyone. KBS also claims they've prepared deposits for those who haven't been paid yet, but it also doesn't look like they're ready to take responsibility".

Happenings of outsourcing productions not being able to pay off their actors and actresses is happening all the time but broadcasting stations are giving the excuse that they have paid the production companies and not taking responsibility.

In the end, the actors and actresses argue with the production companies who claim they aren't responsible and are tiring out. They are giving up. Even if there is a chance they will get paid by suing the broadcasting company and the productions, it's never easy to fight them.

The actors and actresses think, even if they win their money back, they will never be able to work with the broadcasting company or the production ever again so there is no clear answer to what they should do.
