Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park have left the show after failing to reach a new agreement with CBS Studios on their contract renewals, according to a Varietyreport.

Sources told Varietythat Park and Kim had been "seeking pay equality" with stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan, but were unable to reach a satisfactory deal with the studio that produces the show.

In a Facebook post on his personal page, Kim alluded to the pay dispute while explaining his departure to fans.

"I will not be returning to Hawaii Five-0 when production starts next week. Though I made myself available to come back, CBS and I weren’t able to agree to terms on a new contract, so I made the difficult choice not to continue," he wrote, later adding: "I’ll end by saying that though transitions can be difficult, I encourage us all to look beyond the disappointment of this moment to the bigger picture. The path to equality is rarely easy. But I hope you can be excited for the future. I am."

Fans were quick to voice their displeasure via social media, while praising Kim and Park's decision.
