Fuji Television’s “President’s Regular Press Conference” in February will inevitably be a rough one due to Masahiro Nakai’s “90 million yen trouble,” even though his legal advisor will be present.

Apology on a paid member site

Fuji Television Network’s response to ex-SMAP member Masahiro Nakai’s 90 million yen “trouble” with a woman is attracting attention.

In June of the year before last, Nakai had a serious problem with a woman named Xko, who was working for Fuji Television at the time, and paid 90 million yen as a settlement through a proxy.

When this came to light, the recording of TBS’s “Masahiro Nakai’s Friday Smile Tatakashe,” in which Nakai serves as MC, was canceled at the last minute, and “THE MC3,” which was scheduled to air at the beginning of the year, was cancelled.

On December 27, Nakai posted the following message on a paid members’ website

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We apologize for the inconvenience.

and apologized for the inconvenience. In addition, he added

I am earnestly and diligently working on what I must face now.

I am sincerely doing my best to deal with what I have to face now.

On the Internet, the movement to pursue Fuji Television even further than Nakai is gaining momentum.

The Weekly Bunshun reported that Xko’s boss, Mr. A, set up a drinking party with Nakai. However, it is said that only Xko and Nakai attended the meeting, and the other participants were absent on the day of the meeting.

Later, this trouble occurred between X-ko and Nakai. The story was so “too good to be true” that some people on the Internet pointed out the existence of a “payment system” within Fuji.
