Snow Man” Teru Iwamoto’s decision to participate in the “SASUKE” world championship has been criticized by some as “overwhelmingly lacking in ability.

In addition, following Tsukada and Iwamoto, other junior contestants (Rinne Sugata, 7 MEN Samurai, and Hideo Yasushima, Shonen Ninja) began to challenge “SASUKE” before their debut. Tsukada, who paved the way for “SASUKE” among the talents from his office, was called the “pioneer of Johnny’s”.

However, since Iwamoto was the only STARTO ENTERTAINMENT talent selected for this year’s world championship, some of the company’s fans were wondering, “Tsukada-chan, you’re not going to compete?　I thought Tsukada was the idol of “SASUKE,” so I was sad to see her go. In terms of performance, Tsukada has not made it to the final stage either. ……

Some people may have felt that Iwamoto had become the “face of the program” in place of Tsukada, which may have left some people feeling bewildered. Tsukada himself posted on the group’s official X (formerly Twitter), quoting a post from “SASUKE”: “I’m really looking forward to it! Teru go for it!” and “Good luck to you all!

Nevertheless, since Snow Man’s popularity is high, Iwamoto’s appearance is sure to draw more attention to the show. Will he be able to make up for his honor by achieving good results at the world championships?
