Japanese idol fired after exposed to have boyfriend; deemed ‘serious violation of rules’
Many believe she was hastily dismissed due to affiliation with an underground idol group that heavily relies on loyal male fans
A 17-year-old Japanese idol was dismissed for a “serious violation of rules” after observant online viewers spotted a man’s reflection on a plastic cap in a photo she posted.
Azu Fujisaki was a member of the Japanese idol group Heroines Research Students, formed in 2023 and consisting of 11 teenage members.
On November 1, Fujisaki shared a seemingly ordinary photo of herself holding a tray with popcorn and a cup of Coke at a cinema on her social media account.
That post quickly went viral, garnering thousands of likes and shares.
Eagle-eyed observers noticed a man’s reflection on the plastic cap of the Coke drink and shared close-up shots of the reflection, speculating about her cinema companion.
