OSEN DB.Kim Jae-joong Conquers Tokyo’s Harajuku
Kim Jae-joong recently proved that his incredible 20-year legacy in South Korea and across Asia remains stronger than ever during his latest trip to Tokyo, Japan. Walking through the youth district of Harajuku for the KBS2 show ‘Fun-Staurant’, the South Korean star was immediately recognized by both local fans and international tourists alike, shouting his name with excitement.
The phenomenal reach of his brand didn’t stop on the streets. Kim Jae-joong stumbled upon a photo booth featuring his own face, where he proudly snapped a special commemorative photo. He expressed deep emotional gratitude upon meeting teenage fans who discovered him through their mothers, calling this multi-generational fandom the most touching moment of his career. Furthermore, he discovered a branded beverage vending machine equipped with random keyrings, though his official drinks were already completely sold out across Tokyo.
Inside the Tokyo Office Branch and Surprising Habits
Despite experiencing the pinnacle of international success, Kim Jae-joong displayed wonderfully down-to-earth habits. After using the vending machine, he meticulously counted his remaining 10 yen change, sparking affectionate laughter from fans who dubbed him a savvy saver rather than a spendthrift star.
Later in the episode, the South Korean celebrity unveiled his management agency’s new Tokyo branch, located in a high-end office building in the center of the city. Serving as the company’s Chief Strategy Officer, he interacted smoothly with Japanese staff members. True to his approachable nature, however, the CEO quickly transitioned into a caring homemaker, organizing the office refrigerator and personally handing out homemade kimchi he brought from home.
