On November 30, the 31st Korean Cultural Entertainment Awards took place at Yeouido 63 building in Yeongdeungpo district, Seoul. The event, which celebrates various individuals in the entertainment industry making a significant mark in 2023, brings together many celebrities and content creators.
The most notable point is that among those honored at the awards ceremony was a Japanese porn actress. It’s Yuna Ogura, with the EMN Variety Show Award.
According to the introduction, Ogura (born 1998) is an adult film actor and YouTuber with Japanese nationality. She is remembered as “everyone’s girlfriend”.
In 2023, Ogura moved to Korea to develop. She first caught the attention of Korean fans in singer Tak Jae Hoon’s interview program on YouTube. In addition, she also appeared on many other Korean YouTube variety shows. Her cute face, attractive body and friendly personality help her gain a significant number of new fans.
On the same day of receiving the award, Ogura posted a photo of him kissing the souvenir trophy, with the caption: “I will continue to work harder in the future and show you many good things. Thank you”.
Unlike the excited mood of the beauty of Japan, the majority of Korean people showed negative reactions. They were angry that a Japanese adult film actor received an award for Korean culture.
Netizens commented: “It seems like they have no one to give the award to”, “What impact does she have on Korean culture and entertainment to receive an award?” Not convincing”, “First time I heard her name. What influence does she have?”, “This is crazy”, “I doubt the quality of this award show”, “This is ridiculous”, “I guess if you shoot AV and do tricks stupid entertainment in another country, you can win a prize”, “There are better choices”, “Is she a porn star?”, “What’s going on with Korea So”…
In addition, some comments criticized those who gave one-sided assessments of Yuna Ogura.
“Congratulations to her! Becoming a JAV star isn’t the only thing she does. She won the award fairly and equally. She worked hard on Korean variety shows/YouTube videos. Becoming an adult entertainer is not a reason to deny her efforts in other jobs”, the opinion received much approval.
