Reports claim that the Osaka-born idol was romantically involved with both a married man and a non-celebrity, sparking a wave of controversy among J-Pop fans.
With the group known for its strict love-ban policy, fans are now questioning whether the management is doing enough to enforce the rules.
Many argue that idols, like company employees, must stick to the regulations set by their agency.
Yasushi Akimoto’s idol system has long maintained these restrictions, believing that an idol’s focus should remain on their career and fans.
The scandal has also reignited the debate about whether relationships affect an idol’s performance.
Some argue that if idols prioritise love over their profession, their stage presence could suffer, especially on days when their personal life isn’t going well.
“We don’t want to see a half-hearted performance because of personal problems,” one fan commented online.
Graduation rumours are now swirling around Masuda Mirine as the backlash intensifies.
Will Nogizaka46’s management take action, or will this become another case of a rule being quietly overlooked?
Fans are eagerly waiting for an official statement, but one thing is clear—this Masuda Mirine scandal has put Nogizaka46’s love-ban policy under the spotlight once again.
