But now even that has slowed and with it big name stars are openly speaking out about not getting work. In recent weeks five famous stars Kim Ha Neul, Lee Jang Woo, Han Ye Seul, Kim Ji Seok, and Go Hyun Jung have all given different statements in various interviews about their own lack of work and not getting any scripts or project offers.
