Japanese Variety Show Under Fire For Sexually Harassing Male Idols

A Japanese variety show is sparking outrage for sexually harassing boy group members.

Recently, a post titled “Male Idols Are Severly Sexually Harassed On Japanese Variety Shows” went viral.

In the post, a picture of a male idol can be seen writhing with pain on the floor. According to the post, the variety show had put a topical medicine similar to Icy Hot on the idol’s underwear.

In another photo, the variety show had placed hidden cameras in the idol’s bathroom. After the idol realized this, he hurriedly lay flat on the floor to hide his private parts from being recorded.

In yet another example, the idol was filmed swimming while wearing swimming trucks that dissolved in water.
