Popular Korean actress Kim Tae-hee is in the middle of a heated, Dokdo-related controversy in Japan.
Recently, the actress was cast as the main character on Japanese TV drama “99 Days with a Star,” the first episode of which will air this Sunday in Japan.
Last Sunday, a group of netizens took to the streets to demand that Fuji TV, the network showing the series, remove Kim from the show because she is “anti-Japan.” The protesters shouted that it is unthinkable for a Japanese TV network to hire an anti-Japan actress from Korea.
The group even posted a YouTube video showing a clip from a Japanese TV station in which netizens protest against the actress.
The netizens’ attack on the actress stems from her comments that the Dokdo islets are Korean territory, not Japanese. In 2005, Kim and her brother were featured on a TV program that showed them visiting Switzerland. On the program, she is shown wearing a pro-Korea Dokdo campaign T-shirt and distributing related CDs to locals.
The Fuji TV drama series, which stars Kim and 2PM member Taecyeon, centers on a secret affair between a high-profile Korean celebrity and a Japanese bodyguard.

Date: 2011-10-18 07:25 pm (UTC)i did read about KTH making those kinds of actions or statements or whatever,
but it's not her fault she was brought up that way. And it's not her fault that her ent. company wants to use Japan for source of income.

Date: 2011-10-18 07:28 pm (UTC)I don't get why some Koreans are so committed to promoting Dokdo's ownsership to foreigners as it were the gospel. When I was in Korea it really bothered me when they tried to convince me that Dokdo Island was theirs, tbh. Why would I even care?
