On Thursday, an official from a mid-level agency said, ŌĆ£Hyun BinŌĆÖs popularity soared with the drama Crash Landing on You, which set a new record in Japan, but a strange movement has been detected (in the Japanese entertainment industry) since about a month ago.ŌĆØ Their statement is that many Japanese agencies after Hyun BinŌĆÖs fan meeting have changed their position, claiming that demands for the event have decreased.Another official who organized Cha Seung Won and Kim Nam GilŌĆśs Japanese fan meeting also added, ŌĆ£Last October, I offered Hyun BinŌĆÖs agency a project with a budget of 1 billion won (about $770,000) that includes a fan meeting and publishing of a photobook and have been waiting for their answer. But I was suddenly asked by the Japanese agencies to choose a different actor for the project.ŌĆØThere have been many cultural conflicts between Korea and Japan over what happened in history. Singer Lee Seung Chul was denied entry to the country after holding a concert praying for KoreaŌĆÖs unification in Dokdo. He isnŌĆÖt the only one ŌĆō Song Il Kook, Lee Soo Geun, and Kim Jang Hoon have also experienced disadvantages in promoting in Japan.Meanwhile, Hyun BinŌĆÖs new movie Harbin is the new film by Inside Men and The Man Standing Next director Woo Min Ho. It is an espionage action flick about An Jung GeunŌĆÖs assassination of Ito Hirobumi, the mastermind behind the invasion of Joseon, at the Harbin Station in 1909.Source (1)
