AV actor Ogura Yuna's controversial remarks on 'No Back Tak' stir online backlash

On June 19, the third season of 'No Back Tak' kicked off with hosts Tak Jae Hoon and Shin Gyu Jin welcoming guests Tanaka Yukio and AV actress Ogura Yuna. 

The episode took a controversial turn when Ogura Yuna made bold predictions about Cignature member Jiwon's career prospects in Japan.

During the show, host Tak Jae Hoon revisited a previous comment made by Ogura Yuna regarding another intern, Yewon, and her potential popularity in Japan. 

Misunderstanding the context, Ogura Yuna initially joked about Jiwon's prospects, commenting on her physique and suggesting a potential acting debut. 

Despite the hosts' laughter, Ogura Yuna persisted, encouraging Jiwon with serious intent, stating, "You could seriously, seriously become a top actress."

Jiwon, visibly uncomfortable, attempted to steer the conversation back to her existing career in Korea. 

However, the hosts continued to press the issue, highlighting cultural differences between Korea and Japan in the entertainment industry.

Following the episode's airing, numerous netizens expressed anger and disappointment over the perceived insensitivity towards Jiwon, particularly from fans of Cignature. 

The incident sparked discussions online about cultural respect and appropriate conduct in broadcasting.
