The Threat of Ongoing Leaks in Kingdom Project’s Confidential Audio and Videos
On the 1st of this month, a sudden incident occurred where approximately one minute of audio, seemingly from the time when the idol group “King & Prince” had five members, leaked on social media, causing a commotion.
Currently, the members of King & Prince are Kaito Takahashi (25) and Ren Nagase (25). However, the conversation in the leaked audio centered around former members who have since left the group. These members, now active as the music unit “Number_i,” include Shō Hirano (27), Yuta Kishi (28), and Yuta Jinguji (26).
“The conversation originally started with a topic about masturbation habits in monkeys, but eventually shifted into discussions about adult videos (AV). Kishi was particularly eloquent, revealing that he frequently watches content on a major video streaming platform without purchasing, emphasizing that he only watches free sample videos to save time (laughs). Despite the explicit nature of the conversation, it was considered typical among mature adult men. Both groups seem to have escaped any significant damage from this incident.” (according to entertainment reporters)
While there was sympathy online for the five members exposed in the leaked audio, the focus remains on how it was leaked and made public, which is a delicate issue.
“It’s speculated that the leaked audio from the time when King & Prince had five members, discussing trivia about animals that turned into explicit content, likely occurred during their return trip from a concert in Shizuoka on July 30th and 31st, 2022. This assumption is based on their past Instagram Live sessions mentioning similar conversations during car rides from Shizuoka.
