Japanese actor Sho Kasamatsu, who appeared in the series Taxi Driver 3, recently shared a humorous anecdote about his arrival in Korea on the MBC talk show Radio Star.
Appearing on the program, Kasamatsu recounted that when he entered the country last year, he spent 30 to 40 minutes in the airport restroom checking his appearance before heading to the exit. However, he found that no fans were waiting for him, and only two agency staff members were there to greet him.
He added that the experience prompted him to leave a self-deprecating post on social media stating, "It has been proven that my popularity in Korea is a lie."
Netizen Reactions
Reactions to the broadcast appearance on TheQoo were largely critical and skeptical, questioning the casting choices of major Korean variety shows, while a few commenters noted his preparedness or found humor in his self-deprecation.
1. "Who even is this.."
2. "What popularity for a right-winger, don't even dream about it."
3. "I don't want to see them on our broadcasting stations."
4. "Why are they inviting them on Radio Star???? Totally sucks."
5. "Coming on a variety show without even being able to speak Korean?"
6. "Who is this? Please stop letting Japanese be heard on broadcasts these days."
7. "Who even is this to be coming out on Radio Star, I'm not curious."
8. "At least this person is on the putting-in-effort side. There haven't been many Japanese male actors who come this prepared with their Korean, so I'm watching."
9. "That's why people are like that because they just show up out of nowhere ㅋㅋ"
10. "Is this person the one who was in that movie, Hijack or something? If so, they acted well."
