Broadcaster Sayuri struggled as she did not know Japanese.
On the 21st, a video titled "Sayuri and Zen's whirlwind summer vacation in Japan" was uploaded to the channel 'Sayuri's Death Note.'
That day, Sayuri traveled to a rural village in Fukui, Japan, with her son Zen for the summer vacation. However, she faced difficulties right from the process of moving from downtown Osaka to her accommodation. Sayuri did not know how to get to her accommodation.
Sayuri tried to purchase a train ticket to her accommodation through a ticket vending machine, but she struggled for a long time trying to read the kanji and caught people's attention.
She said, "I'm looking for the JR Thunder..." but noted, "My mom writes in kanji, so I can't read kanji. Kanji is too difficult."
In response, the production team remarked, "You can tell at a glance that the person behind you is Japanese," and Sayuri asked the person next to her for help on the spot. With the help of the nearby person, she was able to buy a train ticket to her accommodation, and Sayuri sighed with relief, saying, "It's really convenient to have someone who speaks Japanese nearby."
Then, the production team bluntly said, "You're Japanese..." and Sayuri expressed her delight, saying, "My Japanese worked. They understood my Japanese," which added to the humor.
Meanwhile, broadcaster Sayuri (Fujita Sayuri), originally from Japan, gained popularity after appearing on the KBS variety show 'Women's Talk' in 2007. She continued her activities as a broadcaster by participating in various entertainment programs in Korea and made headlines in 2020 when she gave birth to her son Zen after receiving a sperm donation from a sperm bank in Japan.
Afterwards, Sayuri revealed that her son Zen has mastered not only Korean, Japanese, and English, but also Chinese and Spanish, surprising many. She also mentioned recently, "Zen has been very interested in Arabic lately. He happened to see Arabic on YouTube and said the characters are unique and mysterious, and fun," adding, "He still doesn't know how to speak it."
