Underground Japanese Idol Group’s “Kiss Event” Leaves Netizens Shocked
The controversy broke from a single picture.
Korean blogging forums are on fire over one certain post revealing a “kiss event” held by a Japanese underground idol group.
The post in question is circulating across the internet as a screengrab, where two people can be seen smooching in a picture. The picture’s description claims that it is from the band’s fan event, where after the usual fan-idol handshake, fans also got in the queue for a kiss. The OP (original poster) identified the group as Qppo, an Osaka-based underground idol group.
In the picture, it appears that a man and a woman are kissing, but the OP mentioned that both of them are actually male.

- “What?! I thought that they were treating women’s rights as its lowest, but turns out they’re both men…?”
- “What is this….”
- “Huh..??”
- “Blegh…I thought it would be something funny because the [post’s] category is humor ㅜㅠㅠ”
- “What is this? Wow…they really have weird minds.”
- “When you capture and consume gravure so easily, of course, ideas to package prostitution into events would also come up eventually.”
- “They’re basically selling their bodies…”
- “Blegh! What the hell.”
- “Ah f*ck, my eyes.”
- “I was so shocked that I looked them up, and apparently, they have only one male member, and the rest are women. It looks like the male member was originally a comedian. Um, I hope the other members are not doing things like that.”
- “They’re really doing all kinds of sh*t.”
