So Jun's still pretty popular in Korea...

[barbosa2007]

Apparently Youtube still is a treasure trove of videos despite the crackdown from all the Japanese TV networks. Well, this is safe, since it's Korean variety. In this video, Kara and a few other Korean celebrities talk about Arashi, and Jun in particular. Catch Kara being all starstruck and gushing over sharing an elevator with J!

Haha, too adorable! I adore Kara, it's such a shame that they're not that popular in Korea. They're a lot bigger in Japan.

Quite amazed Arashi SMAP and NEWS are well known there, given the amount of boy bands that the Kpop industry churns out!

I always feel so weird when my Jpop and Kpop worlds collide...but it's a good weird lol! Thanks for sharing :D :D

I've known the existence of this video for quite sometimes now, around a year ago I guess..but it surely doesn't hurt to watch this vid one more time and basking in Jun's awesomeness..fufufu

Honestly, Jun is the only person most Koreans know of. Hanadan does amazing wonders! If Koreans are going to bring up the whole F4, we usually associate Jun in that =]

Ooh I've read someone's translation of this but never seen the video before. Thanks for this! Hopefully Arashi or any Japanese celeb will get another drama that can cross boundaries like how Hanadan did. There hasn't been any so far since then...

Lee Seung Gi knows Arashi? I'm surprised! but I guess I shouldn't be.

Maybe this, speaking about Japanese celebs on Korean national TV, is a road to better Korea-Japan relations. Through pop culture! *hopes*
