Last month, the idol group NGT48 informed the immediate dismissal of the member Yuki Shibano. On the official site, the administration issued a statement in which it wrote the following:

«We are writing to inform you that it has been discovered that Yuki Shibano, a member of NGT48, has admitted to doing some actions that saddened her fans who have always supported her and, after speaking with her, has requested to withdraw from the group’s activities.. As a result, the management contract with us has been terminated as of today, April 16 (Sunday).».

It was also announced that upcoming planned events would be canceled due to this departure, and that they would report refunds at a later date. It should be noted that Yuki Shibano passed the audition for the third generation of the group in June 2022.

He had been expanding his activities, so his departure is definitely a surprise.

However, the question of “have done some actions that saddened his fansHe definitely raised more than one eyebrow. What could they be referring to? Did the idol secretly get a partner? Did they find out that she meddled in adult cinema? Did she commit a crime? The press release doesn’t make it clear, and Japanese fans have already discussed it:

«The only “sad behavior” I can think of on the part of NGT48 is their messing with their fans. I think that is already a specialty of the house».
«Why would they choose that kind of newsroom to fire an idol? I don’t get it, was what he did so bad that there are no words to describe it?».
«Isn’t NGT an idol graveyard? Maybe someone found out that she had a dark past?».
«I would like to know what he did that “could make his followers sad”».
«I don’t know if the group’s management refused to reveal what the heck this girl did in order to protect her or to protect themselves as a group».
«Surely it has to do with a man, there is no doubt».
«I don’t know what kind of person she is, and I don’t know what she did, but I think she did something so bad that the administration doesn’t want to say it. I wonder if it would be something that would spark unprecedented controversy».
«Wasn’t it forbidden to fall in love in that group?».
«I have an acquaintance who is a fan of these types of groups. In his words, this third generation could not even fill the stages at any time.».
