CBS' offer to the two actors was reportedly "10 to 15%" lower than the salaries of their white co-stars, according to Variety.
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.
