Actor Jung Il-woo was unexpectedly spotted by a local photographer on the streets of Tokyo, Japan.

On the 24th, renowned Japanese photographer SANKYO posted a video on social media titled "Streetphotography of strangers vol.309."

In the video, SANKYO approached a man walking down the street, asking, "Do you have time?" and then requested, "You have great style; may I take your photo?" The man turned out to be Jung Il-woo, though the photographer did not recognize him at first.

SANKYO asked where he was from, and Jung Il-woo replied that he came from Korea. In response to SANKYO's various questions, Jung introduced himself as someone who had come to Japan for work, revealed that he is an actor, mentioned that he has visited Japan over 100 times, noted that he has held fan meetings in Japan for more than 18 years, and stated his name is Jung Il-woo.

When asked about the reason for this trip to Japan, Jung Il-woo said, "I came to promote my first Japanese drama 'Criminal,' which can be watched worldwide through Amazon Prime."

When SANKYO asked if there was any impressive Japanese word he knew, Jung Il-woo responded with "Ichigo Ichie ()," meaning "a once-in-a-lifetime encounter."

In the resulting photos from SANKYO, Jung Il-woo showcased his fashion sense, wearing an all-black outfit while carrying a shopper bag.

Netizens who viewed the post reacted with surprise, saying things like, "He is truly, truly a famous actor. It's amazing. He really has that aura, right?" "You just randomly met an actor," and "You're so lucky; he's very famous."

Meanwhile, the Amazon Prime Original series 'Criminal,' starring Jung Il-woo, was released on the 17th. Jung Il-woo is scheduled to hold a fan meeting in Tokyo, Japan, on September 13 to celebrate his 20th anniversary as an actor.
