He is not a Japanese. According to Japanese embassy, he doesn’t have Japanese passport and cannot speak Japanese at all. But he had a S. Korean passport with the name of “KANG JU SUNG.” It’s a fake news…
It’s not exactly ‘fake news’when the guy said he was Japanese to the cops, who then told the news that he was Japanese, because that’s what they believed to be the case. Please refer to what fake news is in the future before throwing that term about.
He is Korean. He lied to rub the Japanese against his sins.
It is their usual means.

Please correct the article saying that this was in fact a Korean pretending to a be a Japanese.
This is a common practice carried out by Korean people when they get caught in a foreign country.
