A popular Japanese actor, Kentarō Sakaguchi, who has been embroiled in cohabitation rumors and allegations of dating two actresses at once, visited Busan with a bright smile. At his first public appearance since the personal scandal, Sakaguchi looked somewhat thin but was smiling brightly.
Sakaguchi attended the opening red carpet event of the 30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) held at the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae District, Busan, on the afternoon of the 17th. He smiled brightly and did not hold back on fan service.
That day Sakaguchi made his first public appearance since the recent cohabitation and two-timing allegations. He wore a black suit and walked the red carpet alongside Ken Watanabe, who is called Japan's "national actor."
Sakaguchi looked somewhat thin, perhaps because of the recent personal controversy. Still, he smiled brightly in front of fans. He walked the red carpet with a gentle smile and waved to the fans.
In particular, Sakaguchi communicated with fans by offering a variety of fan service, from finger hearts to cheek hearts. On the red carpet he smiled brightly, seeming to forget the scandal. His characteristic innocent smile drew attention.
Sakaguchi was earlier caught up in controversy after reports of cohabitation and an affair. The Japanese weekly Shūkan Bunshun on the 9th published paparazzi photos claiming Sakaguchi was living with A, a hair and makeup stylist three years his senior.
According to the report, Sakaguchi and A were in a relationship deep enough that even acquaintances knew, and they had been lovers for about four years. The problem arose when it was reported that Sakaguchi dated actress Mei Nagano while he was in a relationship with A, raising allegations of two-timing. It was reported that A, learning of the relationship between them, told Mei Nagano to stop meeting him. Mei Nagano's side acknowledged her relationship with Sakaguchi.
Sakaguchi even canceled a press conference for the film Final Piece, perhaps feeling burdened by the personal scandal. Although the press conference was canceled, he greeted Busan fans via the red carpet.
