The name of Jun Fukuda, president of the consulting company “Speedy” is being discussed as the president of the new agent company of the former Johnny’s (now SMILE-UP.), which will be established within November.

Initially, it was planned that Noriyuki Higashiyama, president of SMILE-UP, would also serve as president of the new company,

However, the plan was abandoned when it was pointed out that “governance was problematic.” Instead, Mr. Fukuda, who has “revived” the actress Nun, was given the job, but the question within Johnny’s is, “Who is that?”. A source with behind-the-scenes knowledge of the situation said,

“Fukuda was asked to be president only recently. Many people in Johnny’s heard Fukuda’s name for the first time in the press, and they asked, “Who is he?” “What kind of person is he?””

“The talent had heard that Higashiyama had declined to be the new president, but they had never heard of Fukuda’s appointment. The delay in communication has caused some to distrust the office.”

 

Fukuda’s side has yet to say whether or not he accepted the offer from Johnny’s side. According to the same source

“Mr. Fukuda’s side, through his lawyer, is presenting the former Johnny’s side with detailed conditions for accepting the offer. If he does not agree to them, then the offer will be shelved.”

The new president denies that he is a member of Johnny’s.
