Tokyo=) Correspondent = "I haven't been to Korea in two years; if I can go to Korea after Corona 19, I want to take a walk in Namsan Park. I also want to eat kimbap, which is made by 'mothers' in front of Myeong-dong Lotte Hotel and sold in a stall. "
Iko, a makeup artist and talent who participated in the 'Korea Tourism Talk' Event held at Japan Tokyo Sunday Cultural Center on the 4th, said.
It was Korea that I used to find several times a year, but I have not been to Corona 19 for two years.

Korean pop culture such as Korean drama is also popular among Japanese entertainers.
Mizusawa, an actor, knew that the heroine of the drama "Jirisan" introduced at the Event was Jun Ji-hyun, and asked, "I like Jun Ji-hyun so much." "When is it broadcast in Japan?"
"I'd love to go to Korea so much because I've heard the story," said Okazo, a broadcaster.
When the talk show was over, Mr. Darenogarre said, "Is the Event already over, I think it has started now."
