The chairman and president resigned to take responsibility for the sexual assaults associated with the host of the celebrity.
Japanese military media say its chairman and head of his TV unit will immediately resign in the midst of an alleged sexual misconduct investigation by a famous TV host.
Chairman Shoji Kano and Television President Kuchi Manato announced to resign on Monday, a few weeks after host Mashero Nakai was accused of sexual abuse, which caused a storm in public relations and widespread advertisers. Eliminated.
Nakai, 52, allegedly paid 90 million yen ($ 580,000) to the woman later, and the couple signed a contract for not disclosing.
While Nikai has worked for many Japan’s TV networks, the dinner that happened at the dinner was allegedly arranged by a broadcaster executive.
One of the magazines, Shukan Banshon, also reported that the same executive had gathered female TV figures in a hotel in a separate program to remove and work for other celebrities.
Dozens of brands, including McDonald’s and Toyota, removed their ads from a private broadcasting agency when staff were accused of trying to hide the scandal.
As pressure increased, Kano and Manato announced their decision.
“I want sincerely apologizing to women concerned for failing to provide proper care due to lack of human rights awareness,” Kano told reporters.
“I apologize for the extreme concern and inconvenience caused by the news series … I am from viewers, advertisers, company members, shareholders,” he added.
Earlier this month, Minato admitted that military TV had already known the scandal before being reported by local media.
The company denies the claim that its staff was involved in organizing a meeting with Nakai’s woman, which was allegedly at the star’s house.
A former member of the Nakai, Boy band SMAP, who accelerated the chart in the whole of Asia in the 1990s and 2000s, announced his retirement on Thursday after being excluded from the shows of military TV and other channels.
“I am responsible for everything alone” and “I sincerely apologize,” Nikai said. He had earlier issued a statement stating that what was reported was “different from the facts”.
Military Television, along with its soap opera and popular comedy and various shows, proud of Japan’s highest audience rating in the early 1980s and 1990s.
He broadcast the first domestic-developed Astro Boy in 1963, and also produced films, including Herokazo Corey-Ada’s shoplifters, who won the 2018 Palm D and won in the bronze.
The Nakai scandal industry is after another major calculation, which now includes the defective Boy Band Empire Johnny & Associates, which belongs to SMAP.
Johni & Associates, which has now changed its name, in 2023 acknowledged that its founder, Katagawa, had sexually assaulted teenage boys and young people for decades.
