Actual case is the subject? Drinking with the model for "The Groundhogs"?

The Real Backstory Behind the Netflix Drama "The Groundhogs"

The drama "The Groundhogs," now available on Netflix, is based on a real-life incident.

This will be a shocking fact for many viewers.

One person saw H (tentative name), the central figure in the fraud case that served as the model for this case, at an exclusive club in Ginza.

He is Yuya Hachimine, who was there at the time.

In fact, Hachimine was acquainted with this H and called him "Kunkun" and was familiar with him.

Encounter with H - Unexpected Impressions

Hachimine had the opportunity to drink with H at an exclusive club in Ginza.

At that time, his impression of H was that he was a modest and quiet person.

The gap between this image and the central figure in the fraud case that he later learned about came as a surprise to Hachimine.

He recounts that hearing the news of his arrest was a shocking and unexpected turn of events.

Friendship with those who follow the "groundhogs."

Another curious coincidence is Hachimine's client, Mr. K (tentative name).

Mr. K is a detective with the Metropolitan Police Department who has been involved in major cases that have been reported in the national news.

He, too, was involved in the investigation of the groundswell scam and was working on the side of pursuing H.

Coincidentally, in Hachimine's relationships, the "groundsmen" and "detectives" involved in the fraud case were intermingled.

Ginza's exclusive clubs - where even criminals behave peacefully?

Ginza's clubs attract people from a wide variety of professions and backgrounds.

Of course, the restaurant refuses to allow criminals and gang members to enter, but many people come to the restaurant concealing their true identities.

What they have in common is a surprisingly calm and gentlemanly attitude toward drinking.

They say that they rarely get into trouble, but rather quietly exchange cups with each other.

Through the Netflix drama "Groundhogs," the intersection of the front world and the back world comes to light, and the night in Ginza quietly illustrates the reality of the situation.
