Junichi Masuda, a beloved figure in the Pokémon fandom, visited Korea and posted about it on X — the combination of him running a marathon AND then praising Korea in a follow-up tweet created a hilariously wholesome two-tweet arc that Korean Pokémon fans and Nintendo community members couldn't stop sharing.
OK so Junichi Masuda — THE Junichi Masuda, the legendary Pokémon composer and producer — actually came to Korea for a visit, and bro did NOT come to play. He ran a full marathon while he was here. A MARATHON. Just casually. Then he hopped on X (Twitter) and posted that Korea is "a wonderful country." Fr fr no cap, the man ran through the streets of Korea and came out the other side a changed man. The Korean internet is absolutely losing it over this — like the way the sequence of events just hits different: arrive in Korea → run 42km → declare it wonderful. Understood the assignment, king. LMFAOOO 💀
