Conversion rates are different. 8k USD transfers over and can get you pretty far in japan. Also- the prize wasn't 8k. He just had to get 8k in sweepstakes to win.
The reason why he didn't refuse to the additional challenges in korea is most likely because the producers made him sign a contract that stated that if he refused to continue, he'd have to pay a huge amount or something like that, so he had no choice, that's what I think

That's japan for you
I am skeptical, I think this was all staged and Eggplant was in on it. Anything for the views.
They all are
@@jamesr8584 So you're saying it was all staged. But Eggplant knew the consequences?
This dude was basically held prisoner for many months.
The irony is that the door was open all the time. It wasn't closed. He never tried to leave.
@@justmeagain7how did you know tho?
The nerve for someone to think it’s ok to do something like this.
Dude, he was prisoned for longer than a year lol.

How do you know we're not watching you
Agreed
@@matthewwasson2906WAIT WHAT
I mean you don't have to go through what he did to get famous tbh. But I get where you're going with that
He later became a mountain climber and has done many climbings including Mt. Everest for charities.
He really has a golden heart. He was just taken advantage of.
That's so sweet
i also read that he's volunteering on something about helping people on their mental health or something.
Wtf nice

Reality television.
Average game show in Japan
It sounds like this man was kidnapped 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is just cruel 😢

"Nah, f*** him"
"But, don't you think that'll damage his mental health?"
"What the hell is 'mental health' "
Feel so bad for the guy 😢
That's so traumatic 😢. I feel so sorry for him.
Japan is a strange place
Indeed!!
this rabbit hole goes so much deeper i wonder if ray knows about all of it.
Spill the tea 🫖
I wanna know about it, how when where?
"Eggplant" 💀
💀
That was his nickname in the show
Producer: How bad you want famous life?
Eggplant: Yes! Ofc!
He didn’t know that though
Poor plant this is sad this can’t be legal😭
Never better after a long day coming home laying in bed and binge watching rays videos

Eggplant is his official surname now.
Torture should not be a tv show

Eggplant had no idea what he signed up for but he kept pushing. Shocking to discover he was famous without his knowledge.
Emotional damage
If going through all of that was nessessary for me to be famous, I’m happy being a nobody at home
The reason why he didn't refuse to the additional challenges in korea is most likely because the producers made him sign a contract that stated that if he refused to continue, he'd have to pay a huge amount or something like that, so he had no choice, that's what I think
Poor guy :(
