Singer and actor Park Yoo-chun expressed surprise at the high prices in Japan.

On the 2nd, a video titled "Log Signal | Park Yoo-chun Edition: Exploring Popular Food Spots in Japan" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Logbook TV.'

In the video, Park Yoo-chun visited Tsukiji Market in Tokyo. While eating tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), he naturally said in Japanese, "It's delicious." Later, as he looked around at what to eat, he pointed out takoyaki and then senbei, checked the menu prices, and remarked, "It's expensive because it's a tourist spot," before moving on.

While admiring a matcha whisking tool, he said, "Too expensive—20,000 won," adding, "I need to be thrifty." Yet he also expressed regret, saying, "If I lived in Japan, I would have bought a lot of things."

Park Yoo-chun saw bowls being sold on the street and laughed, saying, "This is cheap. It's 50% off. I should buy this." He then chose a tempura soba set for his meal. He noted, "This costs 15,000 won. Elsewhere it might be around 480 yen. This place seems expensive because it's a tourist spot."

Park Yoo-chun asked his staff, "Have prices gone up? Why is everything so expensive?" He then analyzed, "Maybe I'm feeling the high prices because I just came back from Thailand?"

While conversing with his staff, he compared the filming environments for dramas in Korea and Japan. He remarked that in Korea, productions focus intensely on a single project and shoot day and night without stopping. "In Korea, before filming begins, the staff and actors hold a team-building event. We go for three nights and four days, drink together, talk, discuss characters with the writer, and more. In Japan, there's nothing like that," he said with regret.
