The Facts of the NMB48 Yokono Sumire Scandal Revealed by the Media
Who of you don’t know the name Suchan yet? One of the Japanese tabloids revealed the Yokono Sumire NMB48 scandal this morning. Obviously, it immediately caused a stir in a forum, especially on Twitter and 2ch.
Yokono Sumire is famous thanks to a fairly good body among AKB48 Group members. He often appears in weekly gravure magazines, and even won several gravure contests which made him even more popular and was called the future Ace of NMB48.
He even has good statistics, considering that the number of followers on Twitter and Instagram has increased significantly compared to other NMB48 members. Unfortunately, Sumire Yokono’s case could worsen his own reputation.
So the chronology of the Yokono Sumire scandal is double, right, friend, or is it Triple? He entered the hotel together with Yokoyama Yu from Kanjanico. Yu was performing a stage play in Kyoto in early March 2022 for 2 days.
The two of them met in the lobby of the hotel. At that time Suchan witnessed the performance that was taking place and was staged by Yokoyama Yu in the late afternoon, that night they both stayed at the hotel location and the same room.
There has been no official statement from Yokono Sumire and Yokoyama Yu until this news was published. A week later, Suchan is back on a date with a different man, Fukumoto Taisei, an actor from the Johnny’s Association.
At that time Suchan and Taisei Fukumoto walked together by following the protocol, they watched in the cinema. After that, the two of them entered the hotel and stayed overnight.
Yokono Sumire’s appearance at the time of the incident outside the hotel area was wearing a black hat and mask, as was Yu Yokoyama. Suchan had time to take off his mask when he entered the hotel lobby.
Fukumoto Taisei at the beginning of the year was known to have uploaded a post in a cafe with other Johnny members. In a photo uploaded on the blog, it can be seen on his iPhone that he has Yokono Sumire’s wallpaper installed and Suchan’s photo is fairly exclusive and has not been uploaded by Suuchan himself or any other party. So NMB48 fans commented asking for a photo.
The suspicion was strong that the three of them had been on a date together, considering that the three on and off-air appearances at almost the same time were both postponed or did not attend.
These two Yokono Sumire scandals occurred in close proximity. Assumptions arose that Suchan was also involved in the “Papa-katsu” case which was viral among models and idol groups in the country of Sakura.
Previously, it was revealed how Satake Nonno, a member of the music group =LOVE, was known to take part by opening monthly & annual memberships or memberships that did not include dating.
So is this allowed? We’ve actually talked a bit about the Golden Rules, which are still gray. Because many former JKT48 members say it’s true.
Why is it applied? Perhaps their main selling point, the more the Feelings, the higher the interest of others to provide support. That’s why the Japanese government last week imposed Heartbreak Leave for its employees if their idol got married.
But the Yokono Sumire NMB48 scandal is an interesting new product to discuss, because before it was never known that a member of any idol group was revealed to be dating two men at once.
