"Even though Hirosue Was Dragged So Much..." — Growing Online Discomfort as Morning Shows Completely Ignore Mei Nagano & Kei Tanaka’s Affair Scandal

 

People are wondering why TV stations aren’t really talking about the rumored affair between Nagano and Tanaka. In the past, when stars like Higashide, Watanabe, and Hirosue were caught cheating, TV shows covered it nonstop. But this time, only online media is picking it up. Some TV stations mentioned that their agencies denied the rumors, but that’s about it.

An entertainment insider added, "In Watanabe, Higashide, and Hirosue's cases, the individuals themselves eventually admitted to the affairs, making it easier for TV shows to cover them. But this time, Nagano has denied any romantic involvement with both Tanaka and Kim, and Tanaka and Kim have also denied anything with Nagano. Of course, the TV networks are aware of the magazine reports, but perhaps they feel there’s too little confirmed information to properly handle the story."

Is it because it’s not confirmed?

They’re probably waiting to see how the sponsors react.

They’re not that big of a name.

You can see the difference in company power in situations like this.

Since the company is denying it, they're also probably putting pressure on the media

They'll probably talk after the second report!

It's just a matter of company, no? Hirosue has a personal agency.

Maybe it's because of the advertisers or the drama's influence. This is why people call it media manipulation.

Y'all just want to bully. An affair is not a criminal case, so personally I don't care
