Japanese actor Joe Odagiri has apologized for writing his name as Kumi Koda when a fan asked him for his autograph while he was in a restaurant after attending the Busan International Film Festival in Korea in October.
Odagiri, 35, attended the premiere of his new film My Way, in which he plays one of the main characters. His autograph was posted on the internet and picked up by South Korean media which criticized him.
Odagiri released a statement to media, apologizing. He said he didn’t mean to belittle the fan or Korean people.
