Actor Kim Mu Jun, who has been active in Japan lately, has gotten embroiled in a major infidelity controversy involving actress Mei Nagano and married actor Kei Tanaka.
Mei was already embroiled in an infidelity scandal with Kei Tanak, the 40-year-old actor. The weekly magazine Shūkan Bunshun previously published pictures allegedly showing the two in their intimate moments and claimed that they were having an extramarital affair. Kei Tanaka, who has been married since 2011 and is a father of two daughters, is currently receiving severe backlash in Japan over these allegations.
The weekly magazine further claimed that the Korean actor starring alongside Mei in the TBS drama Castor had also been visiting her home, referring to Kim. It fueled suspicion about the two’s romantic involvement among both Japanese and Korean citizens.
Kim Mu Jun’s agency, Nine Ato Entertainment, responded quickly and gave a statement to Hankyung on April 23, KST, denying the reports. The company emphasized that Kim and Mei were simply colleagues.
Meanwhile, Kim Mu Jun made his acting debut in 2020 and has appeared in popular K-Dramas such as Nevertheless, My Dearest, and Sorry Not Sorry.
