Okay, time to fix some misunderstandings:
The segment of the show was made from an audition to comedians and Nasubi was chosen by luck. The contest was about living a sweepstakes and achieve 1 millon yen while being filmed while naked without nothing in the room. After the goal was achieved, he was sended to Korea and the challege was to get money to return back to Japan.
The goal was to achieve all the money and food if necessary, the room was filled with sweepstakes magazines. He won things like clothes, but he became confortable to live without it. But there were problems like food shortage, but they give basic food (until winning the first food prize) and health checks (to check his health for getting ) to survive the challenge. The was even a internet broadcast 24-hour, and the money earned for the broadcast was donated to a association.
After the segment, Nasubi became a popular comedian and it was wrote a book about his experience in the show and all the royalties were for him after the segment ended.
