15 of the Highest Paid K-Drama Actors and What They Earn

After revealing the highest paid K-Drama actresses, a new report from news outlet Ilgan Sports has revealed the highest paid K-Drama actors in 2015. It appears as though the pay gap between actresses and actors is not as large as it has been in the past. However, male actors tend to enjoy greater popularity amongst female fans. In addition to their high earnings from K-Dramas, actors can cash in on their success through overseas fan meetings. Also, a successful K-drama will result in filming CFs which is quite profitable for actors.

Without further ado let’s check out the list of Korea’s top actors’ earnings per episode compiled after consulting with drama production companies, broadcasting company producers, management staff members, and other specialists in the entertainment industry.


Yoo Ah In, Lee Min Ho, and Lee Seung Gi are able to charge 70 million KRW (approx. 58,700 USD) per episode.

  1. Is this info for real? If it is, why does he continue to be with that agency? He is worth soooooo much more and should be getting more than anyone else on this list.
