So Song Seung-heon said no to a 20 million USD, 4 year contract with a Japanese management company- who really cares as long as we get another chance to put up a different shirtless picture of the smoking hot actor.
The 32 year old rejected the money so he could star in the 47th anniversary project for MBC, “East of Eden.” Good choice.
another shirtless song seung heon pic?im getting tired of him,but i have to say he made a right decision,eat of eden is number 1…who cares about the 20 usd,he got tons of money
?
so what’s a ton of money? couple hundred thousand? he’s idiot!
You DO NOT ditch 20 million USD!!
He will regret it one day,I know he will.
i noe he’s hot n everythin but if you get shirtless to much it would be kindah be like oO not like OMG OMG OMG lol u noe wat im sayin at first i was lyke OMG OMG OMG he’s EFFIN HOT but now im like oO he’s hot but not as much as before if you do it once in a while fans would go crazy! it’s better to let ppl imagine ur shirtless then u actually are ;D haha if yall noe wat im sayin
I don’t know how much he could earn from East of Eden, as opposed to the Japanese deal, but it’s his choice. Maybe he rejected the Japanese offer for a patriotic reason, who knows? Anyway, I’m sure he has enough money already to live a comfortable life.
dang, me must be hella rich to just pass up $20 mil. but like you said who cares, it’s just another reason to post a shirtless pic. thanks pop seoul!
How is he an idiot?
Who knows.. maybe 20 million isn’t even much to him and who knows… maybe his pockets has more than 20 million anyways XD
But it’s his choice, so why do you guys care. It’s not effecting you guys.
I’m sure he makes good money anyways.
WOW! 20 million usd?! What the hell is wrong with him?!
No, it affects all the people who want to watch “East of Eden”. Hell, screw the japanese, I’d rather turn down the money if I was him and choose what I would want.
20 mlln usd????
man, come on!
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU???!!!
i see regrets, big ones!
He’s not the smartest is he?
20 mil US $$ may be an exaggeration!
korea FTW =)
20 million USD,
you could buy lots of super junior merchindise foe that amount
o____o
hell, i’d buy them all!
WOW! 20 million usd?! What the hell is wrong with him?!
What’s wrong with him, Uh you do realize EAST Of EDEN is kicking azz right? Why would he sign with another management company when he already has one. If he signed with the company his company would sue him. Now is 20 mill USD worth getting sued for. Oh wait 10mil usd as they will be taking out taxes.
DAYAM!!! 20 MIL USD?! That takes some serious thought to walk away from that. I wonder how long the contract was for. From what Ive read about other actors getting paid for product endorsements and tv series roles, that seems like SO MUCH MORE than he would’ve gotten otherwise. Also, he is from the batch of older, more senior actors who most likely got paid less than what they get paid now…which isn’t much (relatively speaking).
But he prob has enough to live comfortably on (hopefully he set some aside for retirement) and this is prob the more comfortable choice for him.
I will remember this choice of his whenever I think of him tho. Dam.
although 20 mil is a huge chunk of change, i think it’s safe to say he’ll have plenty more opportunities.
Song Seung-heon is still making crazy money with East of Eden. He will be paid 3-3.5 million US dollars from salary alone, and that doesn’t include royalties and future endorsement deals when East of Eden is shown in the rest of Asia.
Song Seung-heon’s star had faded greatly since the military scandal. East of Eden has reasserted his star, and you bet that he’ll be getting lucrative deals soon after the show finishes.
omg he’s getting sexier as he’s getting older!!!!
He is becoming the matthew mcconaughey of Korea.
he’s way sexier than matt.
How will he “regret it”? East of Eden is number 1 right now, and its only on its 9th or 10t episode? He’ll be getting better deals after it finishes, Cfs and other things.
~SSH stays with what he has already started…
Who knows that after East of eden, he will get other offers that will give him more than 20 million…
Good choice..SSH..
maybe he got more than USD 20M in East of Eden, though not in lump sum…
ssh chose east of eden not because of any reason aside from the fact that he got to have pulled his own money in order to have this project to continue since his BIG pride will get hurt if his comeback won’t be big as he hope it to be.
as a result of him being producer, he changed each and every person that was previously set to do the film… like the director, writers, staff and even the actors. some bailed out since they sensed that SOMEONE is playing god.
its good that SSH chose EOE. I m enjoying each & every minute of this drama.
omg i’m not used to this much abs
he just poked my eyes out!
omg, why is his chest THAT big?? O.O wow
==;;;
PS,your sense of humour is getting better ^^
regarding the turning down of the deal,maybe he wants to stick to korea?
but its good that he does’nt cared much about the money.
anw,he looks weird with the moustache ><
Way to go oppa ^_^
