Controversy over unpaid appearance fee for Oksoon on 'I Am Solo'... Production team clarifies "Full payment made"

After contestant Oksoon from season 24 claimed she had not received her appearance fees following her broadcast, it was confirmed that all appearance fees for her major shows, including ″I Am Solo,″ ″Nasol Four Seasons,″ and ″Jijigo Bokkneun Travel,″ had been paid in full. On the 5th, Oksoon posted a video on her SNS with the message, ″Those who have been shortchanged, gather here,″ revealing that she had not received her appearance fees for over a year. She explained, ″Appearance fees usually come in two months after filming, but even after several months, I didn’t receive anything,″ adding, ″In the broadcasting industry, it’s common not to get paid sometimes, so I just decided to let it go and not pursue it.″ She continued, ″A few months later, the production team of the program contacted me for casting,″ and said, ″When I told the PD that I hadn’t received payment for the first shoot, they replied, ’I thought it was paid. Please talk to the person in charge of payments.’ I then participated in the second shoot, but that also was not settled.″ Oksoon added, ″The current head of the production company neither answers my texts nor calls, so I couldn’t get paid. I’m on a tight budget these days, so I keep thinking about that appearance fee.″ Since Oksoon did not disclose the name of the program for which she claimed non-payment, her appearances on ″I Am Solo,″ ″Nasol Four Seasons,″ and ″Jijigo Bokkneun Travel″ became the subject of controversy. In response, the ″I Am Solo″ team stated on the 6th, ″Oksoon’s appearance fees for season 24 have been fully paid.″ Chonjang Entertainment also confirmed, ″Oksoon from season 24 has received full payment for her appearances on Chonjang Entertainment programs.″ This has resolved the allegations of unpaid appearance fees for the three programs. Meanwhile, Oksoon from season 24 has gained public recognition by appearing on ″I Am Solo″ and various related entertainment programs.
