THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR:
Your children are your pride and joy. Koreans know that and will play on it. The first time that you are approached by an agency, say for a television show. They will tell you that it is only for 1 or 2 hours. They know full well that it is going to take 7-8 hours. The fee for your child for this will be about 150 000 KRW (USD 130)

When a television commercial is offered, the going rate for a child is a minimum of 1 000 000 KRW for a full day. A full day is determined by Koreans in the industry as 9 hours. Make certain that once you agree on the price that you GET IT IN WRITING. As experience has shown they WILL run into overtime.

There are very unscrupulous agencies out there. If you have any questions about an agency, please do not hesitate to contact us for any advice via our forums
