JO1 member Oohira Shosei's two-timing dating suspicion has been reported, and it has become a topic of discussion in Korea as a 'shocking two-timing scandal with a girl group.' According to the content released today (15th) by Bunshun Online, Oohira Shosei was dating a general woman while also in a two-timing relationship with ME:I member Iida Shizuki, who is a junior group under JO1. Just before the report, the affiliated agency LAPONE Entertainment announced on its official website that Oohira Shosei would be on hiatus. 'We have discovered an incident that violates our regulations,' they stated, adding that they perceive it as a serious act contrary to the expectations of fans and have urged the individual to reflect deeply and take time to reconsider his actions. Similarly, LAPONE GIRLS, to which ME:I belongs, also announced Iida Shizuki's hiatus, stating, 'We perceive it as a serious act contrary to the expectations of fans and have urged the individual to reflect deeply and take time to reconsider their actions.' Currently, various media in Korea are reporting on the 'shocking two-timing scandal of an idol from Produce,' 'two-timing suspicions involving JO1 and ME:I members,' and 'both parties announcing a suspension of activities.' The fact that both JO1 and ME:I are artists under LAPONE Entertainment, co-founded by CJ ENM and Yoshimoto Kogyo, is also one reason for the attention. Korean netizens have expressed comments such as, 'Both of them were on Japan's PRODUCE, right?' 'Office romance...,' 'It's shocking that they tried to resolve it with money,' and 'Thinking about the feelings of the woman who was dating without knowing about the two-timing is heartbreaking,' and there is significant attention on future developments.
