100908 News Summary

The negotiation between MBC and BFPAA hasn't been made yet. THe producers have made personal arrangement to continue filming, but the MBC company itself hasn't made an official action. The BFPAA are enforcing MBC to be responsible for the missing *200,000,000 wons [*roughly ], but MBC has a different opinion. MBC commented that all of the missing payment shouldn't be blamed entirely on themselves. The broadcasting company is seeking for a better solution.

※ Translator Commentary
If MBC is banned from shooting their dramas for a long time, it MIGHT possibly alter the MBC drama line-up, which COULD push back Joon's drama from the original airing date. I'll post up any more news pertaining to this issue if anything new comes up. This issue is still currently NOT completely settled.
