Why Daniel de Kim left Hawaii five-0

As for procedural drama, CBS is the unmatched king of such programming. “NCIS”, “CSI”, ” and even dated “Gunsmoke”, The network has agility to develop a long hit. This is the case when they reloaded “Hawaii Five-0” with a new acting composition for modern viewers in 2010. The series has become another success that lasted a full decade and has passed over 200 episodes. The rank of Ho Kohli Daniel dee kim was the main part of the show, at least the first seven seasons. But Kim, together with her co -author Grace Park, left the series on the eve of the 8th season.

Many viewers were certainly disappointed when these favorites leave the exhibition. This raises the question: why was anyone left? The answer is amazingly simple. All this came down to the debate on payment. Kim, who came out of the role of Jin-S Kwan on the “lost”, took what he called a “sharp” salary in an interview Vulture When he signed up for Hawaii Five-0. Meanwhile, whom he called a gap in paying each other and the series leading Alex O’Laflin and Scott Kaan “significant”.

So, when it’s time to rethink who I was looking for equal payment. In the same interview, the actor was asked what goals were in the negotiations. It was easy for him. It was an ensemble, so the main ensemble should pay the same.

“Make us all equal. Make us all the ensemble that I thought we always are, and return me where I was with” lost “. And I didn’t think it’s unreasonable to take … And I didn’t have a source of the conflict.

The dispute was a really dispute. At the time, the CBS Entertainment President Keli Kal addressed the suggestions that were made by Kim and the park, saying: “We made a very profitable offer to all actors.” During the TCA in 2017, Kim addressed to Hawaii five-0 talks In addition, and until he wanted to enter the specifics, he made his position quite understandable. As he explained:

“I am very grateful to the CBS and everyone who participated in the show for what I gave me the opportunity. I know Kelly and (Senior Executive Vice President of Programming) Tom Sherman for a while. I know them and love them. I am grateful for what they said for days. It is, as it is said.

Kim did not stand for the park, but their goals were aligned in some way. “I was transparent with grace over my goals, and Grace had their own goals. In some ways, they coincided with mine, and in some ways they did not. But the two things that were common were that our contracts were at the same time, and we were both Asian Americans at Hawaii,” he said. “I would also say that I was proud that we, as a show, hired a lot of Asian Americans. I think we need to talk about the good with the bad,” he added.

It was part of the problem. O’Laflin and Kaana both white men paid more than anyone and the park on the Hawaii shows. So, who lowered his leg. The show lasted a few more seasons without kim and park, But CBS decided to cancel “Hawaii five-0” after 10 2020 season. Meanwhile, Kim was able to work hard after leaving the show behind.

Some of Kim’s television loans include “Good Doctor”, “New Amsterdam”, and “Avatar: Last Aeration” Netflix. On the side of the movie Kim starred in the sci-fi “Store” 2021 and the 2019 “Hellboy” worries rebooted like Ben DimioAmong others.
