A rep from Kim Soo Hyun's agency Key East Entertainment stated on May 30, "Kim Soo Hyun's starring MBC drama 'The Moon that Embraces the Sun' will air on Japanese major broadcast channel NHK this July... Japan NHK's decision was made by Japanese broadcast reps' interest and local fans' hot response to 'Asia's Lover' Kim Soo Hyun."

His Japanese agency rep stated, "Kim Soo Hyun's popularity [in Japan] has been rising recently, and requests for syndication of his productions and interviews with media outlets are pouring in... As much as the inquiries about additional dates for Kim Soo Hyun's Japanese fan meeting in Pacifico Yokohama National University Hall are coming in, there is an extraordinary amount of interest in Kim Soo Hyun's activities [in Japan]."

'The Moon that Embraces the Sun' has already began airing on NHK BS Premium Channel in May, and 'You Who Came From the Stars' has also picked up a syndication spot on Japanese cable channel DATV on the 25th.
