[ Review ] Idol fined 650,000 Yen for Dating Contract Violation

(This is new! -to me-)

An Idol was fined due to Dating Contract Violation, when judge found her guilty of accepting an invitation to a hotel room by her two male fans. It seems that to gain male fans ,for every idols, means banning them (idols) to meet romantic relationship. 

( does Joe Inoue is banned for dating too? Dx~)

The girl had signed the contract in March 2013 and debuted in a six-girl idol group in July. The group dissolved in October, however, when it was learned that the girl in question accepted an invitation to a hotel room by two male fans.

More importantly, as an Japanese Idol, one must live in chaste, high moral and image of purity. Previous idols such as Voice actress Yū Serizawa apologized for wearing a ring in 2014; AKB48 singer Minami Minegishi shaved her head in repentance for dating a dancer in 2013; and actor and singer Jin Akanishi was blackballed for marrying fellow actor and singer Meisa Kuroki in 2012, were gone to trial also.
