Real Person Appearance Sets New Standard for Fire Fighting

Will it become the new standard for ‘firefighting’――.

Reports of a romantic relationship between former Nogizaka46 member and actress Rina Ikoma and actor Shogo Suzuki have emerged.

‘NEWS Post Seven’ published photos of the two visiting a Chinese herbal medicine shop

“First date photos!?”

And so on.

However, Ikoma immediately denied this. On X (formerly Twitter), she wrote:

“Ikoma has been feeling unwell, and I wanted to try Chinese medicine, so I was taken there for that. That’s all it was, haha.”

And explained,

“It was not a date.”

They also did a live broadcast on Instagram with Suzuki, where they cheerfully apologized, saying,

 “It’s true that we caused a disturbance. Sorry about that!”

And cheerfully apologized. Suzuki said, 

“Well, I can’t say much. It’s like proving the existence of a devil. I realized it’s tough to prove something that doesn’t exist.”

And Ikoma also,

“I thought it was difficult.”

Agreed.

“I thought it didn’t matter whether we did a live broadcast or not, but I felt like everyone was feeling unsettled, so we decided to genuinely introduce the Chinese medicine we were given.”

He said.

The two individuals at the center of the controversy appeared to live together, and this pattern of denying the suspicion is indeed effective. A sports newspaper entertainment reporter commented:

“Previously, the talent agencies would issue standard denial comments, which would end the matter, but since this wasn’t from the person involved, it didn’t completely dispel the suspicion. For example, actress Marie Iitoyo, who announced her marriage to actor Issei Takahashi in May this year, repeatedly denied the relationship through her agency (laughs).

In contrast, having the individuals directly involved appear live and explain in their own words is very effective. From their manner of speaking and the atmosphere they create, viewers can sense, ‘Oh, this really isn’t the case.’”
