The untold dramas of the celebrities depicted in "CELEB SECRET" Episode 6
The parent-child bond of celebrity entrepreneur Ureshino-chan
Episode 6 followed the super-celebrities on their little-known days off. Model Sachi Fujii, who is currently expecting her first child, met for the first time Ureshino-chan (Yumi Ureshino), who is active as an entrepreneur in Malaysia.
Ureshino-chan says she jumped into the business world at a young age and experienced harsh realities and frustration. In Episode 2, she confessed that she had clashed fiercely with her parents over starting a business and posting on social media, that she was hit with the words "Are you working as an adult film actress or something?", and that the estrangement still continues today.
Encouraged by advice from Sachi Fujii based on her own experience, "It's better to stay in loose, comfortable contact than to be completely estranged," and by her husband's words, "They're over 70, so let's at least get in touch while they're healthy," she decides to contact her parents.
When she checked the old smartphone she had not touched in five years of complete silence, she found a message saying that her biological father had had two-thirds of his stomach removed because of cancer.
With her hands trembling in fear and anxiety that she might be rejected, Ureshino-chan sent the message "Are you doing okay? I want to see you." What came back was a warm reply from her father: "I just moved, so I'll send you the address. I'll pick you up at the station. Let's meet."
At the unexpected response, Ureshino-chan looked relieved and said, "I'm a little surprised." At the moving turn of events between the once-estranged parent and child, the studio exclaimed, "What a sudden development!" and guest Izumi Mori said, "I'm so glad..."
JO1's Junki Kono's surprising private side
The program also revealed how the cast members unexpectedly spend their days off. Junki Kono of the global boy group JO1 shared precious private photos, saying, "I'm on good terms with Nadal, and he took me fishing."
Shinnosuke Mitsushima reacted, "He looks like an incredibly handsome fisherman!" and the studio erupted with excitement.
Izumi Mori's celebrity episode stuns the studio
In the studio, guest Izumi Mori shared one of the show's signature over-the-top celebrity episodes. With a beaming smile, she confessed, "Putting the caviar from the fridge on instant yakisoba is really delicious," shocking the studio.
When Mori asked, "You have caviar in your fridge, right?", Rino Sashihara immediately brushed it off with "No, we don't!" Shinnosuke Mitsushima and Kemuri Matsui also fired back sharp retorts, "Nobody has caviar in their fridge!" and "Give me a break!", and the studio burst into laughter.
