Taiwanese actress Yi-Pei Wu, who married her Japanese husband AKIRA in August 2023, recently traveled back to Japan for vacation and shared an experience of dining alone at a soba noodle restaurant where she was noticeably stared at by male diners. Wu expressed her surprise at the societal restrictions in Japan, as she was the only woman among 30 Japanese men in the crowded restaurant during lunchtime. Her husband explained that most women are hesitant to enter such places, leading Wu to reflect on the rigid social norms in Japan. Despite the scrutiny, Wu appreciated her freedom in not conforming to such societal expectations.
