Japanese celebrity who criticized Hallyu fired from his agency


A few days ago, we reported that Japanese actor Sousuke Takaoka had made several comments regarding his distaste of the ‘Hallyu Wave’ currently hitting Japan, which drew both withering criticism and cautious praise.
It was recently revealed that due to his inflammatory comments, the actor was fired from his entertainment agency, Stardust Promotion. In a series of tweets he posted to his Twitter account, he expressed his feelings over leaving the agency. He stated, “I was fired from Stardust Promotion. Because of a single mistake, it caused trouble to everyone related to the agency. I feel that this was a logical consequence. Thank you, everyone who supported me”.
He went on to say that he will not be making any protests stating, “I’m not hoping to be viewed as a wise person… I hope the citizens will make their own wise decisions.”
He also added, “I’m scared that there will be made-up reports of my fall from grace, but I’ll take the criticism that comes my way. Those of us in Japan who have yet to catch on will believe those reports. Please remember that I will not, 120 percent, commit suicide.”
