Bullied Since Her 15-Year-Old Debut, She Left Her Girl Group for AV: "I Want to Do This for Life"
The life transformation of former Japanese girl group member Mio Katsuragi has garnered significant attention. She entered the J-Pop scene at 15 but was bullied for her high-pitched voice. After leaving the group, she faced sexual harassment in a regular workplace. Ultimately, she changed her name to Miori Yurikawa and transitioned into the adult video industry in 2023.

Entered J-Pop at 15, Bullied for Her Voice
Mio Katsuragi debuted at 15 as a member of the girl group Bakusute Sotokanda Icchome, now known as Sotokanda Icchome. According to the original report, she often skipped school to avoid bullying and had received business cards from scouts, leading her mother to contact various agencies.

She was bullied because of her high-pitched voice, and there was even an incident where curry was poured on her. Her teachers at the time offered no help, and her parents later told her she didn't need to go to school anymore.
Left Group in 2012, Became a Gravure Model
In 2012, Mio Katsuragi graduated from the group and began working as a gravure model. Later, she transitioned to a regular job. However, while working as a secretary at a hospital, she was sexually harassed by her superior and became the subject of rumors due to his actions.

This experience led her to think: if she was going to be sexually harassed while working clothed, she might as well take her clothes off. She subsequently changed her name to Miori Yurikawa and officially debuted in the AV industry in 2023.
Debuted as Miori Yurikawa, Still Active
The original report states that Miori Yurikawa is currently active in the adult video industry and hopes to continue working in AV for her entire life, even after marriage.

KPOPPLEDIS criticized for deliberately delaying S.COUPS' event announcement
SEVENTEEN's team leader, S.COUPS, suffered a knee injury in August, which was later diagnosed as damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, causing him to pause his activities and undergo surgery. Since it's only been two months since the surgery, the management agency Pledis Entertainment announced on the 20th that S.COUPS will not be participating in the comeback activities on the 22nd of this month, unexpectedly causing dissatisfaction among many fans. Pledis Entertainment stated that although S.COUPS himself has a strong will to participate in the schedule, they still hope that the artist prioritizes his health recovery, so they've decided not to include him in the new album's schedule. They hope that fans can understand. However, some fans are unhappy with Pledis's 'slow' policy. They even expressed their dissatisfaction on forums, believing that they could have been forewarned about a member's absence due to illness. Instead, it was announced that S.COUPS would not participate in activities after the album signing event started. Fans suspect that the company deliberately delayed the information and allowed fans to consume and buy albums in advance. Fans on the forum posted Pledis' announcement regarding member S.COUPS not participating in the comeback schedule, and everything seemed to be no different from a normal announcement. However, the company did not indicate afterwards whether the member would participate in the autograph session. They only removed S.COUPS’ name from the final member autograph session group list, which was wholly unacceptable for fans. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction, stating that the company was well aware of whether the member could continue with the comeback activities before the autograph session was held. In other words, the company was already aware of the member's health status and recovery situation. However, they chose to notify just two days before the comeback, or even after the autograph session tickets were sold out, leading many fans to believe that the company deliberately delayed the announcement date for the sake of sales. The fan argued that since each purchase for a sign event is a considerable amount of money, even spending much savings to get a signature, even if you're not a die-hard fan, you would want to see your favorite member. Thus, the company seems to have concealed information from fans supposedly for sales, intentionally delaying the announcement, causing many fans to be furious. "Is it that hard to make a proper announcement?", "The desire to make money is too much, especially after being acquired by HYBE it's getting worse", "It's really too much", "Sign events are not just one or two, it really looks like scamming fans", "Of course, they should inform us beforehand. Nobody would say it only after a member leaves, it really feels like a scam", causing much dissatisfaction.
KPOPHas the music of the Korean boyband lost its popularity?
Recently, more and more people might have noticed that girl groups seem to be more popular than the fourth generation boy groups. Not only are their songs sweeping the charts on major music sites, but their sales are also not inferior to boy groups. Their performances are very impressive. In fact, this situation is not only apparent to the general public, but also to the artists themselves. For example, TXT member Yeon Jun mentioned on BamBam's online show that he felt regretful because the public now only focuses on girl groups. When BamBam asked about his feelings about activities as a fourth-generation group, Yeon Jun then responded, "To be honest, activities related to the fourth generation... I think it's a little difficult, and the fact that today's male idols receive less attention makes me feel regretful." Yeon Jun sighed, saying that most of the songs on the music charts are by girl groups. He praised, "Indeed, the songs by girl groups are all very good, but boy groups also have many good songs," indirectly expressing his hope that the songs and works of boy groups could be recognized by more people. Yeon jun's remarks quickly sparked a wave of discussion, but some netizens believe that the reason why fewer and fewer people are listening to boy bands is because of their music style, which is discouraging the public from wanting to listen to their songs. A post on the nct forum stated "To be honest, if people refuse to listen to boy bands' songs, NCT is largely responsible." The person described casually hearing a certain song on the road, and because they couldn't figure out a clear style, the song just came off as quite noisy. The more they listened, the more tired they became. They continued "I saw them singing strange raps on TV, so I just turned it off and didn't listen anymore." After the post was exposed, it immediately sparked a wave of discussion among netizens. The post also accumulated 100,000 clickthroughs, with some netizens agreeing by saying, "I indeed don't listen to songs from boy bands due to NCT and Stray Kids, but since their songs became successful, many people began to follow along, and this is probably what gradually forms the prejudice against boy band songs." Commenters added things like, "NCT and Stray Kids are really the epitome of this type," "I also think he's telling the truth, the public obviously chose not to listen to the boy group that SM launched after EXO," "I really can't figure out what the song is about," and "The really noisy one should be ATEEZ." "But some netizens are also wondering 'When has it ever been NCT's fault?', 'Isn't the person who wrote this article the problem?' 'Honestly, I used to be prejudiced like this, but now I often listen to StrayKids' songs.' and refute that it's not always the fault of a certain group. The discussion is very heated.
