He is said to be worth even more as he will earn some of the profit from the licensing fee for Netflix and product placements in the drama.

His fee was stated to be the highest per-episode salary in Korean drama history.

The previous record was held by Lee Byung Hun for the 2018 drama Mr. Sunshine where he received 150 Million KRW or $126,000 USD per episode.
