Dominik Mysterio’s Japan question leaves Logan Paul uneasy
Logan Paul uneasy when Japan is mentioned during podcast with Dominik Mysterio
Warning: This article mentions suicide which some readers may find distressing. Logan Paul found himself in an uncomfortable situation during a podcast when the topic shifted to Japan.
Paul and Mike Majlak were interviewing wrestler Dominik Mysterio on the IMPAULSIVE podcast. Dominik mentioned his recent trip to Japan, saying: “It was really nice, we had a blast.” He then asked the hosts: “You guys ever been to Japan?”
Paul had previously faced severe backlash for filming a video in Aokigahara forest, near Mount Fuji, where his group encountered a suicide victim. The video was widely condemned as ‘disgusting’ and ‘disrespectful’.
Dominik’s question made Paul visibly uneasy. He responded hesitantly: “I got prior obligations.”
Majlak attempted to deflect, saying: “He has been busy, he just hasn’t had time to go there.”
Dominik pressed on, asking bluntly: “Can you go?”
Paul, flustered, replied: “Bro, what do you think this – yes I can go to Japan.”
“I’m just making sure,” Dominik said, before Paul interrupted: “No, I can go to Japan.”
Dominik continued: “I didn’t know if you were like, shadow-banned or something?” Majlak suggested the term ‘excommunicated’, leading to some nervous laughter.
“Dude, I didn’t know if you were put on a list or something,” Dominik added.
Paul then elaborated: “I’ve never said this before but my rule was if I went back, I’d like to be invited back, and I haven’t gotten the invite yet.”
Majlak asked: “Who are you trying to get invited by?” Paul replied: “My best bet is the WWE.”
Dominik added to the awkwardness, quipping: “Especially if you show up with the hat,” referring to a green gremlin-type hat Paul wore in the controversial video.
Paul responded: “Bro, that was too far, that was too far,” before they quickly changed the subject.
In a previous apology for the video, Paul said: “I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through. I’m ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself.”
