It's literal torture. That isn't entertainment. That's forcing someone to suffer to become your laughing stock. Forcing someone to develop mental health issues, for your monetry gain- depression, anxiety, food insecurity, possessions insecurity, fear that every time you wake up you will be surrounded by people in your face, hauling you off to another place aginst your will, developing claustrophobia, and more. The fact that this man is somehow still going strong and trying to be an inspiration is so admirable.

I know that he agreed, but pushing it further and further was not okay. I think he had the right to agree to this, but no one is able to think clearly after a year of isolation - they should've let him recover from the first time before pressuring him to agree to be locked in again.

If they let him recover, most likely he would not want to do it anymore as he is in a clear state of mind. The producer might guessed it & didn't want it so they rushed him in. It's manipulation.

It doesn't make sense for them not to provide rice cookers and common household electronics. It's like none of the sweetstakes would expect you not to have scissors to open the packages.

A lot of KZreadrs are covering this story which is interesting as I used to watch Denpa Shonen with my parents. Back then we just laughed at Nasubi without thinking much of it. I think we just assumed he was in on the whole thing.

I know he signed up for this, but i still feel what they did to him WASNT something he signed up for. Making him do it AGAIN and again and not keeping there promise, then humiliating him on live tv is something i dont think he expected. Its awful that this was allowed and that it affected his speech. But big up to him actually using his experience to help others get throught isolation! What an amazing guy!

I understand he signed up for the first one, but after the Korea, he should have sued. He had not signed up for that. He was forced into it. That is basically kidnapping.
