The affair scandal of Jun Utahiroba (36), a member of the famous Japanese group 'Golden Bomber', turned the Japanese entertainment industry upside down.
Recently, Japanese media Weekly Munchun reported that a married man, Jun Utahiroba, had an affair with a woman in her 20s whom she met at a drinking party in January last year. According to reports, the two continued their affair while traveling to Hokkaido and other places.
In an interview with Weekly Munchun, A claimed that she was pregnant with Jun Utahiroba in February. In the text message released by Mr. A, Jun Utahiroba sent a message to Mr. A saying, “I will not run away or hide, I will always be by your side” “Because I am a lover and a father.” However, after sending a message encouraging an abortion, he showed a different attitude.
In the 14th week of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid ruptured and she had to undergo an abortion. In the guardian column of the consent form for surgery, Utahiroba signed it. Afterwards, Jun Utahiroba gave birth to a second child with his real wife, and it is said that the relationship with Mr. A deteriorated again.
After Weekly Bunchun reported, Jun Utahiroba apologized on his blog, saying, "I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to many people due to the inappropriate behavior I have caused this time."
He said, "I don't think that it is not an issue that can be forgiven by an apology that has damaged the image (Golden Bomber's image) that has been built up with the members, fans, and officials. I feel really sorry for showing off, and I have decided to stop promoting.”
He added, "As a person with a family, I am ashamed of myself for taking actions against society and ethics. I will reflect deeply and reflect on myself at the same time."
Jun Utahiroba was born in 1985 and debuted as a member of the band Golden Bomber.
They got married in 2016, had their first child in 2019, and held their second child in August.
