MBC’s Dong Yi also halts filiming
by javabeans
Historical drama Dong Yi is the second show whose filming has been interrupted by the union strike over unpaid crew and cast wages, following Gloria.
On September 3, union representatives went to the set to talk to the cast of Dong Yi, who agreed to refrain from participating in shoots that day, and filming subsequently halted.
The actors and crew members involved are part of the Korean Broadcasting, Film, Performing Artists Labor Union. At the center of the issue are the wages that remain unpaid as of July 31 in dramas that come outside production companies. Initially thirteen shows were involved, but with KBS and SBS coming to settlement agreements with the union, only MBC remains with four of its outsourced series.
This throws Dong Yi into a tough spot, as it is late in its run and has been enjoying the #1 ratings spot on Mondays and Tuesdays for months. Furthermore, Dong Yi already reportedly received its scripts late, so it has no time to spare.
Both Dong Yi and Gloria are negotiating to settle the problem, so I’m betting we can expect filming to resume pretty quickly; I can’t see MBC letting this drag on and endangering their shows.

Omg MBC just get your act together. None of this would have happened if they had just paid on time, I mean duh you can't expect unpaid crew and actors to continue working for you.

All these articles about union representatives going to sets to talk to cast members about not participating in shoots...I was under the impression when the strike was announced that the actors involved already knew about it and agreed to it previously? Is that not the case, or are some of them maybe not part of the union?

I sure hope this strike doesn't escalate into the level of the 2007 WGA Strike where shows where interrupted, delayed, prematurely shortened, postponed, and we poor viewers had to resort to painfully watching reruns and worse, reruns of reruns. *Groans* I need my Dong Yi fix every week. :-(

In this case, PK reruns can slide into DY's time slot to see how ratings score.

Oh no, this is not good. I feel bad for the actors/actress. Hopefully, all parties will come to a settlement soon.
I read somewhere that Playful Kiss also gets into this strike mess.
