Meguro Ren apologizes on SNS for a series of comments that are not typical of “idols”: “I want to get married after all.
I want to get married after all.”
Ren Meguro (27) of “Snow Man” is one of the most popular young idols in STARTO ENTERTAINMENT (formerly Johnny’s).
He played the leading role in the July drama “Umi no Hajimari” (Fuji TV), the first drama in the traditional “Geki 9” slot, and has been called “Post Takuya Kimura”. Meguro’s comments have caused a stir among fans.
It all started on the talk show “Bokura no Jidai” (Fuji TV) broadcast on September 15. In addition to Meguro, Ken Murase, the producer of the drama, and Yori Shimizu of back number, who sang the theme song “For New Lovers,” gathered for a three-person talk show.
When the topic of “marriage,” which is related to the theme of the drama, came up, Meguro revealed his true feelings, saying, “I am one person, and I want to get married.
Idols are jobs that require a “fan base,” and Meguro revealed his honest feelings, saying, “I don’t want the people who support me to feel happy only with me,” and “I don’t want to be a presence that fans would be sad if they didn’t have. I want to be a presence that people would wish they had,” he said.
Meguro, who has many fans, received a variety of opinions on the Internet. I think it’s an idol to give happiness to her fans. Some people said, ‘Idols are supposed to sell dreams, but it’s okay to have an idol who is honest like this. It’s not surprising because it’s been obvious for a long time that Meguro has a strong desire to get married and that she draws a line between herself and her fans.
Meguro’s comments were picked up by the Internet news, and fans who support other idols also posted their personal opinions on SNS. The top idol’s views on marriage attracted a lot of attention.
Explaining on Instagram
Meguro then updated his personal Instagram Stories on the 18th. The first one was “To my fans,” and then he explained, “I’m not sad if you don’t have it, but I wish I had it, and I wish I could have it.
I’m sorry.” Netizens responded, “Meguro has a poor choice of words,
Meguro is not very good at choosing his words, isn’t he?
Meguro’s choice of words is terrible.
Meguro’s excuse reminded some people of his blog after joining Snow Man, which originally consisted of six members.
In February of the same year, a poster for “Takizawa Kabuki Zero,” a play in which all members except Raoul performed, was posted at Umeda Station in Osaka, and it was discovered that Meguro and Mukai’s faces were marked with a cross.
The posters were found to have Meguro and Mukai’s faces marked with a cross. On the 5th of the same month, Meguro mentioned in his blog that he was in charge of at the time, “Don’t bully us lol,” “spoiled kittens,” and “Don’t sharpen your nails there! LOL!” and so on. He must have a personality that makes him want to say something back.
It could be said that a person with a high sense of pride and a strong competitive spirit is suited for a TV personality, but idols are in the business of popularity. Although Meguro himself called out to “my fans” in his Stories, it seems that this time he made people other than Snow Man fans feel uncomfortable.
