<p> FRIDAY invited Mr. A, a major agency executive, Mr. B, a producer at a key station, and Mr. C, a desk clerk at a sports newspaper, to participate in a roundtable discussion.

<h2> As reported on Friday, Fuka Koshiba transferred</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mr. B.</span> It is the K-POP group that has emerged to replace the old Janis. This time, &#8220;ILLIT,&#8221; which debuted less than a year ago, has decided to participate for the first time. The number of K-POP artists will increase even more in 2013 and beyond.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mr. A.</span> &#8220;LE SSERAFIM&#8221; and &#8220;ILLIT,&#8221; which have participated in the competition three times in a row since 2010 before their debut in Japan, are both members of a subsidiary of HYBE. However, many people involved with the label still complain, &#8220;How can LE SSERAFIM, who has not debuted in Japan, compete?</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mr. C</span> Contrary to Korea, which is doing very well, Japanese entertainment agencies have closed or gone bankrupt one after another.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mr. B.</span> The closure of A-Team with <span class="strongInContent">Riho Yoshioka</span> (31) was a shock. Medium-sized production companies that depend on a handful of stars are in a tough spot. when Friday reported that Oscar Promotion&#8217;s ace <span class="strongInContent">Fuka Koshiba</span> (27), who had starred in and been the heroine of four consecutive dramas and was set to appear in a major TV drama in 2013, would be leaving the company by the end of the year, there was an outcry within the Oscar company, with comments such as &#8221; 事実無根」「信用するな」と大騒ぎ。 They were desperate to put out the fire. Even so, she was transferred after all, wasn&#8217;t she?　Japan&#8217;s entertainment agencies are entering a &#8220;winter period.</p>

Besides, &#8220;SixTONES&#8221; is going to start its own variety show, in which the members and guests challenge each other to games, as a replacement slot for &#8220;Matrix no Neru Koushusho&#8221; (Nippon TV), which will end in March &#8217;25. The group will not let their own marriage put a damper on this important year, which marks the 5th anniversary of the group&#8217;s debut.</p>
