Cultural Exchange

Japan is going through a Korea phase. Korean television shows and movies are rated number one and travel to Korea has increased. The driving factor behind this trend is one man, an actor called affectionately "Yon-sama" in Japanese. He's not exceptionally handsome, but he has hypnotized thousands of housewives. Yes, this 20 something, glasses wearing star is most popular among middle-aged married women with families. When he came to Japan they swarmed him, took desperate pictures, and cried with happiness. The news could find no other event to compare since the Beatles visit. In China and Korea Japan's infatuation with him is on the news. Have you heard about it over there?

no we have not heard of him. News is currently on the murder trial of ? that supposedly killed his wife and unborn son...a YEAR AGO. Next they say is trial of Jackson for molestation. Such news to look forward to. Couldn't someone come up with something good to report, and do it for months on end?
