Actor Honami Suzuki attended the pre-broadcast premiere event for Abema's original drama "Scandal Eve" held in Tokyo on November 18th. She revealed an episode of being hit on in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo, causing a stir at the venue.
In keeping with the theme of the drama, the talk was based on the theme of "Tips from that person." Suzuki received a tip from her manager that "I was recently hit on in Nishi-Azabu."
Suzuki explained how she was hit on, saying, "I was walking alone on the way home from dinner with a friend at night. Then, I heard someone call out from behind, 'Excuse me.' It didn't seem suspicious, so I thought, 'He's going to ask me for directions,' and when I turned around, he said, 'I came from the countryside and had a business dinner so I finished early.' I was fully prepared to give him directions, but he said, 'I'd like to finish early and have one more drink, so would you like to join me for a drink?'" It seems the man didn't realise it was Suzuki.
When his co-star Yokoyama Yu from "SUPER EIGHT" asked, "You didn't go?" Suzuki confessed, "I really wanted to go." He continued, "He's a really nice, earnest businessman-like guy. Don't you want to hear about his life? What kind of work he does, what kind of situation he's in, etc. I thought I'd hear some good stories."
However, he said with a hint of regret, "I had work that absolutely had to be finished that night, so I reluctantly turned him down." He smiled and said, "I thought it would be interesting to have a beer at an izakaya and hear him talk. You never know where you'll meet someone."
Also attending the event were Ko Shibasaki, Kawaguchi Haruna, Yanagi Shuntaro, Jun Hashimoto Kodai, Mizuki Kayashima Jun, Nagisa Saito Mizuki, Saito Nagisa, Hosumi Mahiro, Suzuki Kosuke, and Yusuke Santamaria.
The drama is a suspenseful story depicting the forbidden battle over a scandal between an entertainment agency and a weekly magazine. Just as F, the leading actor of the entertainment agency "Rafale," lands a starring role in a terrestrial TV drama, the agency's representative, Saki Ioka (Shibasaki), hears an announcement from a weekly magazine that F's "adultery scandal" will be published. The article was written by Kanade Hirata (Kawaguchi), a reporter for Weekly Buncho, who has exposed the scandals of many celebrities. With 72 hours left until the article is published, a fierce battle between the agency and the weekly magazine over the publication of the scandal begins. Then, new facts hidden behind the scandal draw her into the deep darkness of the entertainment world.
