 Actor Toma Ikuta&#8217;s &#8220;question-answering&#8221; on Instagram has led to a situation that could shake the life of the celebrity. Although Toma Ikuta left the former Johnny&#8217;s office (now SMILE-UP.) on November 20, 2011, some people have said, &#8220;It was right that the office had banned social networking services in the past.

 On May 5, Ikuta used the Stories (posts limited to 24 hours) function on Instagram to answer questions from fans and followers. She replied to one person who had expressed her anxiety, &#8220;Today is my 9th month of pregnancy.
 Ikuta&#8217;s term &#8220;painless (delivery)&#8221; refers to a method of childbirth that uses anesthesia, so there are no risks or disadvantages. He himself married actress Nana Seino in June 2008, and their first child was born in March 2010. Many netizens who learned about the contents of the Stories said, &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if this is a good thing or not,
 Why should a woman have to &#8220;beg&#8221; her husband for a painless delivery?　Women risk their lives to give birth to a child. &#8230;&#8230;
 They don&#8217;t understand the risks and the preparations involved in childbirth.
 She was so disgusted by the situation. On May 7, Ikuta uploaded a photo on her Instagram with the comment &#8220;Oban desu in Fukuoka&#8221; to report on her recent situation, but the comments section was rife with harsh opinions. On the same night, he apologized via Stories, saying, &#8220;It seems that some people have been hurt by my comments. I apologize.
 He had intended to recommend a family discussion about the choice of a painless delivery, but excused himself by saying, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t say it well enough,&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;ll be careful from now on! I will be careful from now on! He concluded by saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m really sorry to those of you who asked me questions!　I&#8217;m supporting you! I&#8217;ll be rooting for you!&#8221; He also added a message of concern for those who asked questions.
 The incident cannot help but tarnish Ikuta&#8217;s image. The former Johnny&#8217;s, to which Ikuta belonged, was once known as an office that was reluctant to venture into the Internet. Although there were no personal accounts for individual talents, the company began to use social networking services a few years ago. However, Ikuta&#8217;s &#8220;painless However, after Ikuta&#8217;s &#8220;painless begging&#8221; fiasco, many people pointed out that &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s was right to ban SNS&#8221; and &#8220;the agency has been protecting the image of their talents by not allowing them to use SNS.

The former Johnny&#8217;s just started anew as STARTO ENTERTAINMENT on April 10. Some of the current talents have been questioned over their use of SNS.
 On the night of May 4, Kis-My-Ft2&#8217;s Kengo Senga revealed his latest interaction with his good friend and junior Snow Man&#8217;s Shota Watanabe on his Instagram Stories. A fan asked, &#8220;Haven&#8217;t you been out to eat with Shota-kun lately? He confessed, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t, but I got a cute LINE from him.
 He also shared a screencap of his LINE with a person named &#8220;Nabe&#8221;. The message read, &#8220;Thank you for the tough recording today!　I&#8217;m sorry I haven&#8217;t been able to contact you lately,&#8217; etc., and that they had a chance to meet on the job.
 However, there must have been some kind of problem, because the post was deleted in less than 24 hours. In fact, in February, Senga had also uploaded an image of a LINE message from Kaito Miyachika of Travis Japan, his junior, on Stories. In the case of Watanabe and Miyachika, too, not all of the exchange was shown, but some of it was colored over and hidden, but fans are probably feeling threatened by Senga&#8217;s behavior.
 Senga, exposing her line with her junior is so shitty. I wish she would stop messing around with Shota-kun.
 Senga exposed her LINE again, but she deleted it after all. She never learns, does she?
 I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll ever learn,&#8221; were some of the negative reactions.
 Satoshi Matsushima of timelesz introduced a comment from a fan on his Stories page on May 7: &#8220;I have a midterm test in a few days. In response to this, &#8220;A midterm test?　What test can you take? He responded, &#8220;What kind of test can you take?
 The fact that &#8220;kun&#8221; was attached to the word &#8220;kun&#8221; raised the possibility that Matsushima mistook the character for &#8220;chu-chu&#8221; for Junta Nakama, a WEST. member who is a senior. It is possible that he was trying to be funny, but since Matsushima himself is known as a natural character, fans on SNS laughed at him, saying that he was too funny.
 In order not to follow Ikuta&#8217;s example, the younger members of the group should be careful about updating their SNS.
