It was revealed on the 18th that the 27-year-old actor Yuki Furukawa, who is gaining immense popularity in China due to the online streaming of dramas, will star in the Japan-Korea co-production film "The Color of the Wind (tentative title)" (scheduled for release next spring). This is a major work conceived by renowned Korean director Kwak Jae-yong (55), known for the huge hit film "My Sassy Girl," and it has taken eight years to develop; Furukawa will take on dual roles. The director has praised his talent, and his popularity seems poised to spread across various Asian countries.
The emerging young star, nicknamed "Male God" in China, is taking a significant step toward becoming an Asian star. Furukawa has been chosen for Kwak's latest work, which has established him as a leading figure in Asian cinema after the success of "My Sassy Girl."
Kwak has spent eight years developing this grand love story set in Hokkaido, in which a man travels from Tokyo to Hokkaido to confirm a statement made by his lover just before her death: "There's someone who looks just like me." The narrative follows a woman who has just lost her lover in an accident and discovers that he looks exactly like the man she meets. Furukawa will play two roles: "Ryo Nishimura," who lives in Tokyo, and "Takashi Murayama," a magician in Sapporo. Kwak, who fell in love with Furukawa's voice and personality, praised him as "like looking at a beautiful doll; he may appear delicate, but he possesses great strength as an actor."
Having lived in Canada from the age of 7 to 18 and being fluent in English, Furukawa is a super handsome man who won the grand prize at the "Mr. Keio Contest" while studying at Keio University’s Faculty of Science and Technology. His popularity exploded in China in 2013 when the CS drama "Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo," in which he starred, was streamed online. He surpassed 1.4 million followers on Chinese Twitter (Weibo) and appeared on the covers of local magazines. In July 2013, he became the first Japanese actor to hold a fan meeting, boasting celebrity-level popularity as fans flocked to see him everywhere.
This will be Furukawa's first film featuring overseas staff, and he expressed his happiness about participating in a Japan-Korea co-production, saying, "I've always wanted to work overseas." This is also his first experience playing dual roles, and he noted, "There are times when I'm confused by the differences in filming styles in Japan, but I communicate with the director in English." He has also enhanced his magic skills under the guidance of Mr. Malick.
From both Japan and Korea to China, and potentially across Asia, the popularity of this "Male God" seems likely to expand rapidly.
