'Bad Love 2' is facing heavy criticism from local opinion in Japan immediately after the poster was released.
On the 21st, Netflix Japan released a trailer and poster for the new variety show 'Bad Love season 2' on its official social media. Among them, the appearance of male cast member Oda Yuya sparked debate.
Oda Yuya is a cast member who came from Japan's combat variety show 'Breaking Down.' Placed dead center on the 'Bad Love 2' poster, he raised expectations for his role while shocking viewers with his body covered in tattoos and a pinky that looked as if it had been amputated. In Japan, the act of finger amputation is associated with yakuza behavior, which amplified the reaction.
Local internet users have expressed shock, saying, "Is this casting okay?" and "Even if it's the program's concept, did they really bring in a yakuza?" However, some argued that "since the concept itself in season 1 was 'Bad Love,' there's nothing wrong," creating what appears to be a pro-and-con debate.
'Bad Love' is a variety show in which eleven delinquents gather under rules prohibiting violence, property damage, threats, and confessions until the final day to find a lifelong partner. It is a Netflix Japan original series, and its first season was released on Dec. 9 last year, drawing attention. <
