The labor union of Korea's broadcasting staffs, actors, singers, and artists announced late on Sunday that they will "refuse to participate in any of the 13 outsourced shoots indefinitely until the major broadcasting companies resolve unpaid wage problems and guarantee that there won't be any relapse of the situation".

The boycott decision was made on Aug. 27 in an emergency meeting of board of representatives. The body will hold a press conference on Sept. 1 to release all schedules they're firmly rejecting to participate.

According to the press release, all subcontracted dramas and shows are to take hiatus until the wage issue is resolved. Consequently, viewers inevitably have to go for weeks without KBS 2TV's popular soap opera "Bread, Love and Dreams", SBS' "Giant", "I Am Legend", and MBC's "Gloria", and "Kim Soo Ro".
