Singer Kim Jae-joong has reaffirmed his enduring popularity in Japan.

In the the 3rd episode of KBS 2TV's variety program "Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstaurant" (hereinafter "Pyeonstaurant"), Kim Jae-joong's life in Tokyo was showcased.

On this day, Kim Jae-joong visited Harajuku in Tokyo, where fans who spotted him on the street were surprised. Kim recalled, "There used to be our academy here. There was a practice room," reminiscing about memories from 21 years ago.

Kim also shared, "I really wanted to buy T-shirts from street vendors back then, but I couldn't because I had no money."

He continued, "This is the first time I'm seeing this in person," as his face was prominently displayed on an instant photo booth featuring a star alongside the photo frame.

The production team noted, "Even young girls recognized him." Kim added, "When asked by teenage fans why they became my fans, many say it's because of their mothers. To be influenced by parents to become a fan is the most touching moment for an entertainer."

Additionally, vending machines featuring Kim Jae-joong's beverages were found throughout Tokyo, further demonstrating the stature of a "Superstar."
