<Anchor> There



is a businessman in Japan who sprays billions of cash through social media every January.

There are mixed pros and cons for this behavior, but interest in it is high as it is the number one SNS subscriber in Japan.



This is Yoo Seong-jae's correspondent from Tokyo.



<Reporter> This



is the Twitter of Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese billionaire businessman, who introduces himself as a "Mister who sprinkles money."



As the founder of Japan's largest online apparel shopping mall Jojo, he has only assets of KRW 2.3 trillion.



He was also selected as the world's first civilian traveler for the 2023 Lunar Travel Project organized by Elon Musk.



However, since a few years ago, it has been controversial in Japan by distributing cash to his social media subscribers.



Last year, we distributed 10 billion won of our money to 1,000 subscribers of their SNS, and this year also held an event that sprinkled 160 million won of our money, and hundreds of thousands of people participated in this event.



That's why he revealed that ordinary people want to know how to use it when they have a lump sum.



[Maezawa/Businessman (Source: YouTube): We distribute money to gather as many opinions as possible.

If you hear a lot of voices, you can make a great business.] You



are promoting your business by using the influence of the powerful SNS, but the reactions of Japanese people vary.



[Nojoe/Tokyo residents: It would be good if that would improve the game.]



[Fujishima/University student: It's about sharing content to get money.

Because my friends don't like to see it (I don't.)]



Maezawa went on public recruitment to seek a female partner to go to the moon with her, and then canceled it.



In the meantime, his Twitter subscribers surpassed 13.32 million, rising to the top in Japan.
