Kenshin Kamimura Fired After Indecent Assault Charges
The termination of Kamimura's contract and his withdrawal from the group have significant implications for the Japanese entertainment industry, highlighting the importance of accountability and compliance. The incident has also raised questions about the safety and well-being of fans and staff at entertainment events.
Japanese pop star Kenshin Kamimura, a member of the boy band ONE N' ONLY, has been fired by his management company Stardust Promotion after being charged with indecent assault in Hong Kong. The 25-year-old was arrested on March 2 and appeared in court on March 4, facing one count of indecent assault, which allegedly occurred after a fan meeting in Tung Chung.
The incident has led to the termination of Kamimura's contract with Stardust Promotion, and he has withdrawn from the group. The band's upcoming live tour will continue with five members, but refunds will not be available for fans who choose not to attend. The incident has also led to the cancellation of fan meetings in Osaka and Tokyo. Kamimura debuted in 2015 as a member of Satori Boys Club and joined ONE N' ONLY in 2018.
The management company has taken swift action against Kamimura, citing "serious compliance violations" as the reason for his termination. The incident has also led to the cancellation of his appearance on a TV Tokyo broadcast and other fan events. The alleged incident occurred during a fan meeting event at a restaurant, where the victim, a female interpreter, was present.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the Japanese entertainment industry, with fans and fellow celebrities alike expressing disappointment and concern. The case is currently ongoing, and it remains to be seen how it will affect Kamimura's career and the future of ONE N' ONLY.
