Fuwa-chan Faces Backlash as Manager Begins Apology Tour After Potential ‘The Lineup’ Cancellation
This time, however, things have gone beyond mere “joking.
At around 11:30 p.m. on August 4, comedian Yasuko (25) suddenly posted on her X (formerly Twitter) page, “Very sad. About 20 minutes later, Huwa-chan (30), who is active on YouTube, posted an apology, drawing attention to the “trouble” that had occurred between the two.
The “trouble” between the two began back on August 2, when Yasuko posted an apology on her X-rated site. Yasuko-san posted on her X that ‘Yasuko Olympics, everyone wins because it’s great just to be alive. In response, Huwa-chan replied with an emoji: “You are not great, so please die. The post has since been deleted, If true, it is a joke that is not funny at all,” said the entertainment desk of a sports newspaper.
In fact, on the Internet,
If it’s true, I don’t want her to appear on TV anymore.
“It’s not enough to delete it, and it’s not enough to apologize.
There are many voices criticizing Huwa-chan’s post, such as “If it’s true, I don’t want her to appear on TV anymore. On the other hand, some are defending Hwa-chan’s post,
Some people said, “It’s important to admit and apologize right away.
On the other hand, some are defending Yasuko and Huwa-chan, saying things like, “It is important to admit and apologize immediately. The truth of the matter is unclear, as neither Yasuko nor Huwa-chan have named names, but the media have already been forced to take action in response to the firestorm on the Internet.
A key station official revealed the current situation, which they are busy dealing with.
Huwa-chan has one regular TV show and one regular radio show. Of these, “Huwa-chan’s All Night Nippon 0” (Nippon Broadcasting System), which will be broadcast live in the early morning of the 6th, has already been replaced. It is said that the manager visited Nippon Broadcasting System immediately after the incident to apologize with a folded envelope. Even so, Nippon Broadcasting System must have taken the situation very seriously. With only a few hours to go before the start of the broadcast, the show was cancelled.
In response to the public reaction, other media outlets may follow this move. The regular TV show “Matrix no de dekiru koushousho” (Nippon Television Network Corporation) is also considering suspending the appearance.
He also appears as a semi-regular on “Sunday Japon” (TBS) and “Tonari wa Nazotore” (Fuji TV), and each station may be affected in no small way. However, some station staff members are heard to say, “There are not many station staff members who would hold back.
Huwa-chan was originally known as a latecomer. “Huwa-chan was always famous for being late, and he would not read the script he had left in his dressing room before going to the recording session. Of course, there is no doubt that she is a valuable asset to the program for her blunt remarks and natural cheerfulness. However, in recent years, she has been looking for a place outside of television, and if she continues to fade out, I think there will be very few TV people who will keep her around,” said a director at a key station.
In 2008, Huwa-chan was even named the winner of the “most popular word of the year” award. Will she continue to disappear from the TV screen?
