It has been revealed that the SBS TV drama ‘Protect the Boss’, that star JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong, is experiencing explosive popularity in Japan.

‘Protect the Boss’, which aired in Korea last summer, began airing in Japan from the 12th of July through Japan’s biggest privately managed broadcasting company TBS. The drama became a hot topic when it was introduced on Hallyu channels KNTV and DATV as it finished airing in Korea.

One day since pre-orders began for the special making DVD for ‘Protect the Boss’, which is set to be released on the 28th of November, it topped charts on HMV Japan, Amazon, and Rakuten, proving the drama’s popularity in Japan.
