Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro expressed gratitude to Korean fans for their love.

On the afternoon of the 29th, a press conference for the visit to Korea of the Japanese film 'Final Peace' was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Lead actor Sakaguchi Kentaro attended and spoke with domestic reporters.

'Final Peace' is a film adaptation of the Japanese bestseller 'The Sunflowers of the Half-Table'. It is a suspense drama that reveals secrets between genius shogi player Keesuke (played by Sakaguchi Kentaro), who becomes a suspect after a body of unknown identity is found along with expensive shogi pieces, and gambler Tomio (played by Watanabe Ken), who has disappeared.

Notably, 'Final Peace' was previously introduced as an official selection at the 30th Busan International Film Festival last year.

When asked about the secret to his popularity in Korea, Sakaguchi Kentaro said, "I don't know why you all like me either. Of course, I feel grateful, but I truly cannot understand why. Why, for what reason?" He revealed his bewildered state of mind.

He humbly added, "When I first learned about (this kind of) popularity, I was very surprised and felt bewildered myself. When I visited you through my work, I was also very grateful for the positive reviews about the film. I don't know the reason, but I continue to feel grateful, and I think I must work even harder in the future."

'Final Peace' was released domestically on the 27th.
