Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro, who is also receiving warm love in Korea, has been caught up in cohabitation rumors in a Japanese weekly magazine. Domestic fans are also reportedly in shock over the unexpected report on his private life. On the other hand, voices saying his privacy should be protected if true have continued.
According to Japanese media reports on the 9th, Sakaguchi Kentaro was photographed living with a woman three years his senior. The woman is known to have been born in 1988 and is currently working in the hair and makeup industry. The fact that she is three years older than Sakaguchi Kentaro, who was born in 1991, drew greater interest.
The report included circumstances that effectively supported the "cohabitation" allegation, saying the two were seen living together since last August. News spread quickly not only in Japan but also among Korean fans, with reactions expressing shock and embarrassment.
In particular, because Sakaguchi Kentaro has been ranked the most popular Japanese actor through various activities held recently in Korea, this news caused a big stir among domestic fans. Some fans expressed surprise, saying "I hope it's not true" and "What's going on with Kentaro's cohabitation rumor," while others offered contrasting opinions such as "We should respect the actor's privacy" and "If he's happy, we'll only support him."
Sakaguchi Kentaro also has deep ties with Korea. During his recent visit to Korea, he greeted fans in Korean and showed a humble and polite attitude on variety shows and in interviews, earning high praise from domestic fans. He also expanded his fan base by receiving great love through the Korea-Japan co-production drama "Things that come after love," in which he starred with Korean actress Lee Se-young.
Recently, he actively continued his activities by attending a photo wall event on the afternoon of the 3rd at the new I I Combined headquarters in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, held to mark the opening of House Nowhere Seoul. Because he was actively working between Japan and Korea, the cohabitation report is even more surprising.
While there has been no official statement from his agency yet, fans are sharply divided over the report, with reactions ranging from "Please let it be a lie" to "We must protect the actor's privacy," regardless of the truth.
Meanwhile, Sakaguchi Kentaro is an actor who has secured a strong domestic and international fan base through numerous dramas and films. Attention is focused on how this cohabitation rumor will affect his work and fandom.
