A recent case of assault on a member of a popular female idol group has sparked a barrage of criticism aimed at the ensemble¡¯s management agency for its failure to protect her and take care of her after the incident.
Maho Yamaguchi of Niigata-based NGT48 tearfully revealed in a video post Wednesday that two men in their 20s forced their way into the entryway of her home on Dec. 8 and grabbed her face. She was uninjured.
She said that the group¡¯s management firm did not really do anything even after she spoke with them, and asked who would be responsible if ¡°the worst-case scenario¡± occurred.
