Did you notice that my character “Toshi” was Zainichi too in the movie “The Ramen Girl”? Originally Toshi was Japanese, but the director and the writer and I talked about and changed into Zainichi character. #TheRamenGirl #Zainichi #在日の表象
There were some voices from the creative team of The Ramen Girl saying “Why is Korean actor playing the love interest of Brittany in this movie? We should’ve hire a Japanese actor!”
So, the director and the writer really knew me and what zainichi is. They said “Okay! Then let’s just change the character into Zainichi!” Then, my character being Zainichi even became a key to a romance between Brittany’s character and mine. The story got more interesting.
