4. Key Issues: Kamikaze Remarks and Right-Wing Suspicions
The controversy began with a special program on Fuji TV in 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. At the time, Souta Fukushi was a kamikaze pilot.
I participated in an interview with a special forces survivor, and the broadcast included a scene where I read the special forces member's suicide note.
During this process, a comment that could be interpreted as “respecting my grandfather” was broadcast and became a problem.
In Japan, it was accepted as a documentary that highlighted the tragedy of war, but among Korean viewers, it was seen as a symbol of Japanese imperialism.
Criticism has been raised that the narrative focuses on 'sacrifice' rather than responsibility for the harm done.
This scene has spread again, reigniting the controversy over the glorification of war and rekindling suspicions of right-wing influence.
5. Are the right-wing suspicions true? And what questions remain?
To date, there has been no confirmed record of Fukushi Souta directly expressing any specific political leanings or right-wing ideology. Some interpret the broadcast in question as a documentary centered on survivor testimony.
However, the reason the controversy is not easily subsiding is because there has been no official explanation from the actor, production team, or platform since the controversy was reignited. The casting proceeded without any specific explanation.
The viewers' discomfort was bound to grow.
6. Why was he cast? Netflix's choice.
Nevertheless, the reason for Fukushi Sota's casting is relatively clear. Considering his experience in global productions, his ability to use foreign languages, his high profile in Japan, and his romantic image, his compatibility with the show's concept is clear.
However, there are concerns about whether historical sensitivity has been sufficiently taken into account in content primarily targeting Korean viewers.
Questions still remain.
