Reports claim the two shared a special evening together back on May
25th. Allegedly, they hooked up at a party, a friendly shindig where
booze flowed freely, and
Awkward pawing and necking aside, the big news here is that Kito
Momona is only 19, and the legal drinking age in Japan is 20. While
Momo is no stranger to scandal, neither is NEWS. And the combination of
alcohol and minors is a big deal, as NEWS fans should already know.
To quickly summarize, in 2005, NEWS' very own Uchi Hiroki was exiled
from the group for underage drinking at the delicate age of 18. FujiTV
announcer Yukino Kikuma (33 at the time) was caught with him and even
arrested.
Infuriated fans, political pressure, and threats from Johnny &
Associates forced Fuji to remove Yukino from the air for months.
Surely some backlash must come from these newly revealed details. Wota
won’t take kindly to their devoted Momona ditching them for an
all-nighter with some D-list Johnny.
Meanwhile, after having
already set their own harsh precedent for dealing with underage
drinking, will Johnny & Associates really be allowed to ignore
Tegoshi’s presence at a boozy party with underage girls?
No doubt more can be expected from this story in the future.
