Sato Katsuri trending amid STARTO dating controversy
Original: 佐藤 勝利
Katsuri Sato, member of STARTO group Sexy Zone, is a top search trend in Japan amid ongoing talent controversies at the agency. Japanese media have revived a famous remark attributed to Mary Kitagawa — that a male idol may date a woman only if he is willing to lose his popularity and career — fuelling debate over whether idols should be allowed relationships.
Why now: Reports and discussion about a STARTO idol's alleged relationship have reignited debate over strict agency rules on dating.
