Female celebrity makes everyone wonder if she’s coming to Korea after her contract expired in Japan

Japanese singer-actress Yabuki Nako appeared on Mnet’s “Produce 48” in Korea and received attention from many viewers.

Yabuki Nako, who started her singing career after passing the third generation audition for Japanese idol group “HKT48” in 2013, appeared as a child actress in the movie “Touch”, which is based on the manga of the same name, even before her debut as a singer. She became famous by appearing in Japanese commercials with figure skater Asada Mao.

Yabuki Nako also drew attention by announcing the expiration of her exclusive contract with her Japanese agency last January. Yabuki Nako, who returned to Japan and continued her activities as a member of girl group HKT48 after working with IZ*ONE, said on her SNS on January 28th, “I will leave Vernalossom (agency) following the end of my exclusive contract. I ask for your continued support.“

Yabuki Nako has shown her admiration for K-pop through SNS since her days as a member of Japanese group “HKT48”. In particular, she was evaluated as having the best Korean pronunciation among Japanese contestants during “Produce 48”. Even after her debut with IZ*ONE, she continued to study Korean and became a hot topic for her fluent Korean.

Meanwhile, Yabuki Nako, who finished her idol career in Japan, took on the role of MC for the “2023 Dream Concert in JAPAN” held at Saitama Super Arena, Japan last June and showed her smooth hosting skills. Recently, she was selected as a brand ambassador for the world-class watch and jewelry brand “Daniel Wellington”, and is expanding her scope as an all-around entertainer by working in various fields such as artist, actress and MC.
