Inflation is everywhere and the lack of successful projects and products is true across nearly every industry. K-actress Kim Ha Neul recently was interviewed and shared how she and most stars are seeing a lack of scripts being offered. In the past she would get multiple scripts and even had to turn down projects by saying she needs to take a break between dramas. But now she feels blessed to even get one script offered to her. In 2022 there were 135 K-dramas produced, in 2023 it was 125, and this year 2024 its going to be around 100 dramas. This is also the first year that entertainment related consumption has dropped from prior year and across all media platforms.
