Two former Johnny & Associates staff members publicly accused of sexually assaulting their talent. "SMILE-UP." posted on its website on the night of the 28th, in response to the response to an interview conducted by British public broadcaster BBC.

Sexual assault by staff members was pointed out last year in a report by a special team of outside experts. To date, there have been no reports of sexual harassment by staff, but if a report is received, the company will respond seriously to verify the details.
