Singer Kim Jae-joong once again proved his unique status and popularity in Tokyo, Japan.
On the KBS 2TV program 'New Product Launch - Paik's Restaurant' airing on September 3rd, Kim Jae-joong's secret Tokyo lifestyle as the center of Asia will be revealed following last week's episode. Previously, Kim Jae-joong made headlines by publicly opening his Tokyo house for the first time in 23 years since his debut, while also showcasing his surprisingly frugal charms in Tokyo. In response, Kim Jae-joong ranked 2nd in the August week 4 TV-OTT non-drama cast popularity survey released by Good Data Corporation Fundex, demonstrating his strong influence.
On the broadcast, Kim Jae-joong visits Harajuku, a representative bustling district known as Tokyo's "Street of Youth." When superstar Kim Jae-joong arrived at Harajuku, which is always crowded with visitors much like Myeongdong in Korea, local fans as well as foreign tourists from various countries visiting Japan flocked to the area all at once, causing the street to come to a standstill.
Next, Kim Jae-joong discovered a photo booth in the heart of Tokyo with his oversized photograph decorating the entrance of the building. The studio cast members were amazed to see a dedicated space created for fans to make memories with their favorite star. Furthermore, when a vending machine selling a special beverage alongside the large photograph appeared, Kim Jae-joong smiled and attempted to get a drink himself.
At the scene, Kim Jae-joong's characteristic frugality was also captured. Naturally checking where the change comes out of the vending machine, Kim Jae-joong shared an anecdote from his childhood memories, turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Kim Jae-joong's overwhelming popularity that brought Harajuku to a standstill and his Tokyo visit will be broadcast on KBS 2TV 'New Product Launch - Paik's Restaurant' at 8:30 PM on September 3rd.
