Sohn Dan-bi, who has gained popularity recently for her appearance in various commercial films, has appeared on a popular Japanese variety show along with Ryoo Si-won.

The show airs on TBS and boasts average viewer ratings of 17 percent.

In the show, which was a special edition dedicated to Korean stars, Sohn spoke about her views regarding the opposite sex, marriage and family values as a Korean woman in her 20s.

Sohn was invited to appear on the show because she has already gained recognition in Korea for her dancing skills and charming looks and was the most searched celebrity on the Japanese largest portal Web site MSN Japan.

Sohn's agency says her appearance on the show has raised the possibility of her official debut in Japan.

The show, which was hosted by top Japanese anchor Shinichirou Azumi and top actress Pinko Izumi, will air this month.
