CBS responds to Daniel Dae Kim over 'Hawaii Five-0' pay

TV fans are still reeling over the exit of Daniel Dae Kim (Chin Ho) and Grace Park (Kono) from "Hawaii Five-0." They left the show over contract negotiations which supposedly didn't give them as much pay as Alex O'Louglhin (Steve) and Scott Caan (Danno). The 8th TV season will begin with Chin Ho and Kono being written out of the story lines.

CBS has responded to Daniel Dae Kim's "Facebook" post about equal pay. They say, “Daniel and Grace have been important and valued members of Hawaii Five-0 for seven seasons..., We did not want to lose them and tried very hard to keep them with offers for large and significant salary increases. While we could not reach an agreement, we part ways with tremendous respect for their talents on screen, as well as their roles as ambassadors for the show off screen, and with hopes to work with them again in the near future.”

(I will miss their characters, especially Kono).
