Not long ago, netizens were shocked by Haruka's statement that she was interested in Jirayut. She openly admitted this when she was a guest on Deddy Corbuzier and Vidi Aldiano's podcast titled PODHUB.
On Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube podcast, Haruka Nakagawa, former JKT48 member , and Kenta Yamaguchi appeared. In the podcast, Kenta openly admitted his liking for Haruka.
Instead of returning her feelings for Kenta, Haruka admitted that she was more interested in Jirayut. She even admitted that she felt sad when she heard the news that Halda and Jirayut were close.
"But I was sad when Halda and Jirayut were close," said Haruka, as reported by YouTube Deddy Corbuzier.
Haruka immediately contacted Jirayut and asked about the truth of the closeness of the Thai artist to Halda.
"I immediately chatted (Jirayut) but suddenly we got close? We're friends too," Haruka continued.
Furthermore, Haruka also admitted that even though Jirayut's height is below hers, she doesn't mind. Because the man from Thailand is funny. She even chats with Jirayut when they have a shooting schedule together.
"Jirayut, we're filming together today," he explained.
Hearing Haruka's statement certainly made Kenta quite sad. Because he had repeatedly pursued Haruka but was always rejected. As a result, the PODHUB host advised Kenta to move on immediately.
The podcast clip was also widely discussed by netizens. Not a few internet users flooded the comments column with mentions of a love square between Haruka, Jirayut, Halda, and Kenta.
