Jang Keun Suk passes Customs smoothly
On 17 August when JKS reached Haneda airport, around 800 fans were waiting for him. Upon seeing many reporters at the arrival hall, JKS waved and greeted them saying “long time no see”. When he saw eels, he pushed down his sunglasses and blew kisses, which earned praises from reporters that JKS was as intimate with his fans as before. Just like when he arrived at Haneda in June, relevant parties said to media that 800 fans were present, although certain airport personnel claimed that the actual number was 600. No matter which side is saying the truth, it is obvious that the situation (at the airport) was no different from the last time, and JKS’ popularity in Japan is top-class amongst Hallyu stars today.
Towards the end of July, Aoi Miyazaki’s husband Takaoka Sōsuke criticized Fuji TV on twitter for being favourable towards Hallyu, which sparked off a chain series of anti-Hallyu activities. The day before JKS arrived in Japan, K-pop stars such as BEAST and F.CUZ was refused entry by Customs which found out that their information submission was incomplete. The agencies of these artistes expressed that they had already completed all entry procedures and were puzzled at why they had been refused entry. The unspoken reason was clear, and it caused some worry as to whether JKS would face the same situation. Luckily, JKS had officially applied for a performance visa and was successful in clearing Customs.
Even so, in comparison to other Hallyu stars, the anti-Hallyu wave targeted at JKS was even more obvious.
