Sony Music Solutions Inc. and KEN ON Inc. announced the expansion of SoTime Fragment, the global fan club for Japanese actor Fukushi Sota, to South Korea and Taiwan on June 15, 2026.
Accessible through the fan communication app yodel, the platform allows international fans to receive messages, photos, and videos directly from the actor. The application also features an integrated translation tool supporting Japanese, English, Korean, and traditional Chinese, facilitating seamless communication.
Fukushi Sota — who starred as one of the three leads in the Netflix original Korean drama “Can This Love Be Translated?” — has steadily built an international fanbase through cross-border projects.
His Japan-South Korea co-production film “TOKYO BURST” is currently screening in theaters, while his Taiwanese film debut, “The Scar-faced Cat: Way of Asura,” is slated for release this winter.
The expansion follows the sold-out Sota Fukushi Fan Meeting 2026 – FRAGMENTS – in Japan on May 30, which welcomed fans from around the world for his first fan event in two years.
To mark the regional launch, the platform is running a limited-time promotional campaign. New members who register during the promotional period will receive a two-week free trial. Subscribers who maintain their membership beyond the trial period will also receive a digital package featuring a handwritten message paired with exclusive photos, along with a limited-edition signed digital wallpaper to be distributed at a later date.
Fukushi Sota expressed his gratitude for the international reception of his recent work, noting that his extended stay in South Korea for “Can This Love Be Translated?” and his filming experience in Taiwan allowed him to connect deeply with local culture. He added that he hopes to hold in-person fan events in both South Korea and Taiwan in the near future.
