Why are people hired here to wipe tears?
Actually, in Japan, people hire handsome boys to wipe tears. But this does not happen in every house in Japan. It is made only by a company in Japan. A company named IkemosoDanshi based in Tokyo hires people.
These companies hire people to make employees cry, then the employees watch sad movies, then when they feel sad and tear up, a handsome boy wipes their tears.

He believes that doing this helps in connecting people. Because Japanese people are not used to crying in front, once you cry in front of others, the atmosphere will change, especially in business.
What is the purpose?
The company's purpose in doing this is to showcase its weakness so that when other people see it, they feel bad and are less able to work together. The purpose of doing this is to bring people together so that they can work better as a team.
