Starring Byun Yo-han (변요한), Roh Jae-won (노재원), Lim Se-mi (임세미), and Ayaka Miyoshi (三吉彩花), Tazza 4: The Devil's Song is the final installment in the popular Tazza film series. The movie follows Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-han), who builds an online casino empire only to lose everything due to a friend's betrayal. Seeking revenge, he re-enters the global gambling scene, leading to a direct confrontation at the poker table. The film premiered in Korea on September 23.
Japanese actress Ayaka Miyoshi has drawn significant attention for her bold bed scenes with Byun Yo-han in the film. As the movie gains traction, past remarks she made on a Japanese variety show about her relationship with her father have unexpectedly resurfaced online, sparking renewed discussion.
Recently, clips of Miyoshi's past appearance on a Japanese variety show have circulated across Korean online communities. During the program, a guest asked her, "I heard you walk arm-in-arm with your father," and "Some people say they bathed with their father until they were 20. What do you think?"
Miyoshi responded directly at the time, "I used to bathe with him." She then explained, "Now my dad is shy, so he doesn't want to anymore." She even revealed that they used to enter the bathroom together, and she would sometimes wash his hair, surprising the other guests.
These past comments have recently garnered renewed attention primarily because Miyoshi is currently in the spotlight in Korea due to Tazza 4: The Devil's Song, with her scenes alongside Byun Yo-han becoming a particular talking point.
In the film, Miyoshi plays Kimiko, a high-ranking Japanese corporate executive backed by a Japanese yakuza organization and a key figure in orchestrating the global gambling scheme. She shares numerous scenes with Byun Yo-han, including challenging and explicit bed scenes, showcasing an intense acting style rarely seen in her previous works.
Miyoshi has also officially begun expanding her entertainment activities in Korea. She recently appeared on the YouTube channel 'Egennam Swings' (에겐남 스윙스) and revealed that several collaborations related to Korean activities are currently under discussion, stating, "It's just starting now." This has heightened anticipation for her continued development in the Korean entertainment scene.
Additionally, Miyoshi previously co-starred with Korean singer Sung Si-kyung (성시경) in the Netflix variety show Crazy Delicious: A Foodie Friend's Restaurant. Their natural interactions on the show led to dating rumors, with some netizens even speculating they might be a couple in private.
Sung Si-kyung personally clarified these rumors on his own channel, stating that Miyoshi "is also a person with her own position, wouldn't she feel burdened if she saw those articles?" He openly praised her as "indeed a very beautiful, cute, and charming person," but emphasized that they are "absolutely not in a romantic relationship," directly denying the dating rumors.
Ayaka Miyoshi began her career as both a model and actress in her teens, appearing in numerous film and television productions in Japan. In recent years, she has gradually expanded her entertainment footprint into Korea, participating in Korean films and appearing on Korean variety shows, making her career moves a subject of keen interest.
Meanwhile, Tazza 4: The Devil's Song climbed to the top of the Korean box office just six days after its release, surpassing the film The Assassins. According to the Korean Film Council's box office statistics system, as of the 28th, the film attracted 68,913 viewers in a single day, bringing its cumulative audience to 901,929 people.
