Jo Hyun-jae to advance to Japan
Published on | Source
Actor Jo Hyun-jae is set to make inroads into the Japanese market in a joint effort with the Japanese talent management agency IMX, which also manages "Yonsama" Bae Yong-joon.
Jo will hold a meeting with 1,000 Japanese fans Dec. 30-31 at the New Otani Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. The event has already drawn significant attention as IMX has lent its full support to Cho, promoting him as a next-generation hallyu star.
Jo came into the spotlight in Japan after the movie "Untold Scandal", which co-stars Bae and Jo, was shown in that country in 2004. His popularity rose further for his role in the TV drama Love Letter, which aired several times in Japan on the cable channel KNTV and Fuji TV.
"The foundation for his advancement into Japan has already been laid through his roles in movies and TV dramas; he just didn't have the right opportunity. But thanks to IMX, whose support is very solid, he will finally step up his efforts to establish his presence in Japan", said a person from Cho's agency.
