TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Japanese actor Tomohisa Yamashita (山下智久) arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport (松山機場) on Friday (April 24) around 11 a.m. A crowd of fans greeted the 41-year-old, often called an "ageless idol." He is in Taiwan to attend a Dior brand event.
Yamashita wore a gray top, bucket hat, face mask and sunglasses, keeping a low profile. Despite the understated look, waiting fans screamed upon his appearance. The actor removed his mask and sunglasses to greet supporters and sign autographs, with fans calling the encounter an unexpected surprise.
The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday at Taipei 101 Shopping Mall (台北101購物中心). Yamashita has maintained a long-standing partnership with Dior, serving as a prominent figure for Dior Beauty. He embodies the clean, sharp aesthetic central to the brand's menswear line, making him a natural fit for the luxury fashion house.
