[Today's Soyoen-chan from Korea appearing on today's dokkiri show www]
It was a thread that suddenly appeared on Japan's community, Futaba Channel.
The post tagged with variety show and dokkiri tags was discussing today's broadcast on YHJ Broadcasting Station.
Dokkiri refers to a variety show format similar to hidden camera pranks in Japan.
002 Eh, it's a Korean actor today?
005 It's been a while since a Korean
013 YHJ likes Korea too much www
019 I was glad they didn't appear much after switching to Nanzo-kun
020 But wouldn't an idol be better? Honestly don't know Korean actors www
Since the preview had already been released that morning, various discussions were already taking place in that thread.
The reaction was neither particularly bad nor particularly good.
Recently, Korean celebrities appearing on Japanese broadcasts wasn't exactly rare.
Of course, actors were on the fewer side, so that part became somewhat of a topic.
In the first place, most people didn't even know who the actor named Seoyeon was.
When the posts coming up slowed down a bit.
129 Photos are here!!! [Photo]
One person uploaded a photo.
It was Seoyeon's photo.
With a photo of Seoyeon wearing a school uniform taken in Korea, the posts in the thread started coming faster.
131 Eh~ A current JK???? For real??
132 She just wore a uniform for filming, her actual age isn't an old hag right?
> Soyoen-chan is a real JK. Famous as a genius actress in Korea too
134 Are you serious www Genius actress www She must have already been through a lot www
135 Huh? Isn't that Dream Future's Harin-chan?? Soyoen was the actor for Harin-chan??
Long black hair, eyes with a reddish tint, pale skin.
Discussions about whether her beautiful appearance was filtered or not flowed continuously through the thread.
But after learning she was an actor appearing in the currently airing
Especially since
However, after it actually aired, the most discussed topic was about Jo Harin.
Perhaps because her visuals were so overwhelming, it seemed many in Japan had encountered her through various memes.
222 Hey hey www Harin-chan was Soyoen??
223 If she's a current JK, that's nice
234 Nanzo-kun wouldn't do a dokkiri with a Korean actor for no reason
236 She's a cool-type actress, is it okay for her to appear on something like this??
> She probably appeared because of that gap instead
Even those who weren't interested would be drawn in upon seeing Seoyeon's appearance.
Moreover, according to the preview, it was a horror-themed hidden camera.
382 Looking forward to what happens when they do a dokkiri on a genius actress w with a cool vibe
The posting speed, which was usually around one per hour, accelerated.
Some even shouted 'seated' in advance, having already turned to the channel before it aired.
But they didn't particularly expect it to be entertaining.
Just as emotions differ by country, Korean celebrities' reactions were relatively bland compared to Japanese celebrities.
Of course, reactions from celebrities from other countries had their own flavor, so there was still demand for that.
003 It's starting
004 Heart pounding
Around when the broadcast began, the thread that had filled 1000 posts was replaced with a new one.
With the variety show's title embedded in the header, they began watching the broadcast in earnest.
First, Seoyeon's appearance arriving at the airport was captured.
Like a vlog, Seoyeon making a small V sign toward the shaking camera was captured.
Her strangely excited feeling transmitted even through the screen.
023 Eh www She's not the cool type? www She's too excited
025 A slightly different impression than expected
030 I just fell for this girl
031 I'm a traveler from France but... who is this actor appearing now?
> Korea's Soyoen-chan, Dream Future's Jo Harin actor
Seoyeon didn't seem to notice at all that filming had already begun.
Perhaps because of that, after the first shoot ended, she was telling another woman about where to go and various things.
"Obviously I'm going to Akihabara."
"Other than Akihabara?"
"I haven't really thought about anywhere else."
Who would have thought the first mentioned region would be Akihabara.
There was no one in Japan who didn't know what kind of image Akihabara had overseas.
But hearing the relatively cold-looking Seoyeon say that, it just didn't suit her at all.
158 It's just for show www
160 Soyoen-chan did a magical girl cosplay in Korea too, you know?
> For real?
> She really did
> No way, super cute www Soyoen-chan is now my bride
In the meantime, it seemed people had searched for various videos and photos of Seoyeon, as they were also posted in the thread.
Among them, the most popular was definitely about Magical Girl Harara.
Of course, it was an anime that wasn't broadcast in Japan, but it was a video that could be enjoyed even without knowing that.
Contrary to her cool impression, who would have thought she'd even appear in something like that.
194 If she appeared in something like that, doesn't she not have much recognition in Korea?
195 She's the most talked-about actor in Korea this year, and the other actor who played the villain is also top among young actresses right now
196 It's Sohi-chan, right? I like Sohi-chan, she appears in a lot of movies too
199 I wondered who Sohi-chan was but she looks like Tomie, scary www
> Cancel that right now
As such conversations went back and forth, attention naturally went to the woman beside Seoyeon who was responding to her words, Narumi Sora.
Whenever Seoyeon said something, Sora naturally pointed things out while responding, making it look like a manzai comedy routine.
Moreover, since she was a beauty with a moderately healthy impression, many people paid attention to her as well.
Plus, with a ponytail that looked like it was drawn, and round eyes.
That gap from her relatively sharp impression quietly gathered attention.
301 She's Japanese, Narumi Sora. She first met Soyoen-chan at the
302 Ehhh She's Japanese? I totally thought she was Korean
303 She must speak Korean really well www
304 But Soyoen-chan seems to understand Japanese to some extent?
> She said she watches a lot of anime
> Oh, is that the setting??
305 If it's Soyoen-chan, it's not a setting, she probably actually watches a lot
The broadcast was mostly filled with conversations about Seoyeon's impressions of Japan.
And arriving at their accommodation amidst such conversations.
No, not accommodation, a filming location!
Such subtitles slammed onto the screen, capturing Seoyeon getting out of the van.
And Director Nanzo and actors in the middle of makeup watching from hiding.
They were already preparing to surprise Seoyeon.
Due to arriving at a relatively late hour, the other women besides Seoyeon were seen shivering.
The funny thing was that the others already knew a hidden camera was being filmed.
Seoyeon's manager Park Eunha had known from the start.
In Sora's case, she had roughly figured it out by intuition.
The only one who knew nothing was Seoyeon alone.
Perhaps because of that, a large subtitle 'Knows Nothing' was stamped below Seoyeon's face.
801 www No way, that's suspicious
802 Notice it already www
803 But is that innkeeper an actor too?
804 Doesn't seem like the innkeeper
805 Then is it a ghost?
> ?
As they entered full-scale filming, the posting speed in the thread also accelerated.
Generally, Japanese threads are replaced when they fill up 1000 posts.
But that number had already exceeded 3.
For a normal hidden camera variety show, it was an enormous number, even the regulars in the thread were a bit surprised.
The reason wasn't anything special—more people had joined after seeing Seoyeon's appearance than from knowing
Seoyeon's appearance itself had something that stimulated Japanese sensibilities.
Seoyeon blankly listening to the innkeeper's warning.
By this point, she should sense something was off, but she showed not a shred of interest.
Rather, she seemed full of thoughts about what to buy and where to go after filming ended.
She was seen diligently typing something on her smartphone.
When Sora asked about it.
"I need to buy merch."
"What merch?"
"……Um, that, there are VTubers, right?"
Perhaps thinking no one was listening, Seoyeon quietly said to Sora.
For reference, this was something she hadn't even told her manager.
Seoyeon bringing up such a topic to Sora actually wasn't for any great reason.
Since Sora was Japanese, wouldn't she roughly understand?
And also, there was the fact that she subtly lacked a conversation partner to bring up such topics.
Jiyeon was doing VTuber activities, but if she brought up this subject, 'Lamiel' would inevitably be mentioned, so she tried to avoid it as much as possible.
Therefore, Seoyeon had always thought, 'I want a friend I can talk to about VTubers!'
In that regard, Sora was an appropriate candidate.
At least in Seoyeon's thinking.
Of course, Sora was nodding along but clearly had no idea.
822 Japan apologizes
832 VTubers out of nowhere is too maniac
834 Soyoen-chan which VTuber do you like?
845 Information appearing for the first time on Japanese broadcast right now
Those watching the broadcast also didn't expect Seoyeon to bring up something like this here.
Of course, VTubers had a more mainstream recognition in Japan.
They had appeared on terrestrial broadcasting a few times.
But separately from that, it still had the impression of not being a common hobby.
Seeing Seoyeon say that with a serious face, the sense of discordance was extraordinary.
Then.
"We should be careful about moving around at night. It looks like we're the only ones at this inn."
When Sora brought that up as if to change the subject.
"Huh? There are plenty of other people at the inn besides us."
Seoyeon said while blankly looking around.
The actors hiding in that direction were seen fleeing in alarm.
002 Eh w Seoyeon-chan has supernatural powers??
003 I've never seen someone say that in real life before.
005 It's like that face saying 'Since it's Japan, are there ninjas or something??'
L2o5S3ZhQ0ZyRElUdDcyYjh4WU5aWGtRby9OVzlrZ0tNa3JWV3pIdytyZnk0ZENVdmU1a1VkMFlIc2ppei8vSw
Anyway, with such trivial conversations going back and forth, it became completely late at night.
10 PM, the time the innkeeper had warned about.
"Want to go to the hot springs?"
It was then that Seoyeon's manager Park Eunha opened her mouth.
"Didn't they say we shouldn't go earlier?"
"It's still before 10."
"That's true. Let's go."
Seoyeon nodding coolly.
At her appearance.
123 wwwww Try to object www
124 Soyoen-chan has nerves of steel
125 Isn't she being too nonchalant?
126 She'll probably be like that even when ghosts appear later
127 The other actors must be really motivated right now
129 Everyone looks like they don't want to go www
130 Sora-chan is cute, why doesn't she work in Japan
131 She said in an interview she went to Korea to do action acting.
The screen transitioned, showing the actors waiting at the inn in advance.
Even just looking at the makeup, it was clear they put more effort than usual.
At the moment Seoyeon confidently stepped forward and headed toward the hot springs.
All the lights went out with a snap.
Park Eunha and Sora were terrified.
They were seen pressing close to each other in tension.
It was then.
Seoyeon's body, who had been calm until now, started creaking strangely.
431 Is she scared?
432 For real?
444 Honestly I thought she wouldn't be scared at all www
While everyone was tense and hesitating like that.
With a clatter! the ceiling opened and something fell down.
"Kyaaaaah!!!"
As Sora and Park Eunha shrieked and backed away, Seoyeon's hand moved.
Almost reflexively, at that moment the hidden camera caught Seoyeon's eyes in slow motion.
As the object fell, Seoyeon's pupils followed it, and she was briefly seen narrowing her eyes.
And then, the scene of her piercing it with her hand.
With a sharp sound of "pakak!" the mannequin's head was pierced through.
772 Eh?
773 Eh?
774 Ehhh www
775 Is that mannequin styrofoam??
776 The subtitle says it's plastic
777 How did she pierce that with her hand www
778 Maybe Soyoen-chan was actually a magical girl
779 More than that, did you see everything in slow motion when it was falling??
780 www No way www
Seoyeon was seen looking closely at what she had pierced with her hand.
And her strangely wavering eyes.
Her mouth twisted with an "Ugh" feeling.
822 Actually, didn't Soyoen-chan think she accidentally attacked a person?
823 I saw it with my eyes
824 I think it might not be visible because it's dark
825 If she can pierce through to the skull like that, a human body would be pierced too
826 No no www That's weird
827 Soyoen-chan... thought she accidentally killed a person...
828 Does Soyoen-chan have this kind of image in Korea too?
Such reactions dominated the thread, and many posts offering heartfelt sympathy to Seoyeon were uploaded.
'Huh.'
For reference, Seoyeon, who had been peeking at that thread, was a bit flustered.
She didn't expect such a reaction.
Wasn't it a cute, girly scene of being startled by something gross?
'I just found it gross.'
No, she did see it and pierced it.
It was true that her hand moved first.
If it were a person, she would have stopped long before that.
She wasn't a fool—would she not distinguish that much?
Seoyeon had Sora post a message.
844 She probably just hates gross things.. realistically
> Are you maybe someone who can't read the room in school?
> Being serious alone is so funny ww
Seeing those words, Seoyeon's eyes turned red.
And Sora beside her couldn't help but shiver.
