On the November 5 broadcast of SBS's "The Great Hang-jun," actors Park Minyoung and Yook Sung-jae appeared for an audition.

During the broadcast, Jang Hang-jun asked the two actors why, noting, "You've done many dramas, but it seems you haven't done that many films. What is the reason for that?"

To this, Yook Sung-jae said, "I have never done a movie, but I was surprised to hear that actor Park Minyoung hasn't done many either."

Park Minyoung then drew attention by explaining, "Doing a horror film back when I was a rookie is all I've done. But I felt hesitant to participate simply for the sake of adding a movie to my filmography. Also, there weren't many female-led films in the past."

Hearing this, Jang Hang-jun commented, "People also talk about the difference in pay," to which Park Minyoung replied, "With the rising status of K-dramas, there certainly is a bit of a difference between films and dramas."

Yook Sung-jae then asked, "Normally, when you shoot a 12-episode drama, you get paid for 12 episodes. Don't films pay around that much?" When told that is usually not the case, Yook Sung-jae joked, "Ah, I didn't know that. I think I came to the wrong place," drawing laughter.
