BAD NEWS FOR NEWS/KUSSA FANS!!!!!"Another under-aged member of the popular boy idol group [NEWS] has voluntarily withdrawn from the public eye. It has been admitted, by Johnny's Jimusho that this member had the intention to drink alcohol. The statement from the youth, on the 31st readÂuMy behavior has caused some misunderstandings, therefore the youth in question has volunteered to restrict his activities in the entertainment business. Last year, a different under-aged member of News caused a ruckus while drunk and he is currently under suspension.
A press release was made from Johnny's Jimsho the evening of the 31st and was released to all mass media sources, it was an apology and read [ We deeply and sincerely regret any trouble this may cause those involved and of course the many fans] [The member in question has considered how this may affect others and there for has decided to withdraw from activities related to work and the public eye]
As to the fact of whether he was actually drinking or not, the explanation given to the media was [after questioning the member it is found that the truth is he did not actually drink alcohol, however his actions were such that could lead to misunderstandings]. The Jimsho also declares that they will investigate all truths surrounding this matter.
Some gossip magazines have reported that this member was drinking in a karaoke box with 2 females, they have photos and in the photo what appears to be a can of alcohol can be seen.
This member has just announced his acceptance to a private university. As for the group News, they will release a new single (title not yet known) on March 25th to kick off their national tour.
Johnny's Jimsho is well known to be very strict on under aged drinking and smoking. In the 8 member group News, 5 members are under-aged, and the majority of fans are junior/senior high aged girls. In this instance the member refutes that he was drinking and his withdraw is voluntary and was done so in consideration for his under-aged fans.
Another member of NEWS has been suspended since last July for becoming unruly after drinking with a Fuji TV announcer (Kikuma, 33), with this new member restricting his activities this leaves NEWS to continue has a 6 member group."
