Daniel Dae Kim has opened up about his decision to leave the show Hawaii Five-0 in 2017, citing the “drastic” pay cut he took to do the show and the “significant” pay disparity between him and his white co-stars.
In 2017, Kim and Park announced that they would not be returning to Hawaii Five-0.
When asked how big the difference in pay was when the show first aired between him and his white co-stars, Kim said the disparity was “significant”.
What’s more, Kim noted that “one thing that has never really properly been reported” was the pay cut he took to do Hawaii Five-0, coming off of Lost.
