AKB48 member publicly humiliated by label. Forced to shave;
This is disgusting. They have gone too far.
Quote:
Even creepy AKB48 fans have recoiled at Minami Minegishi’s shocking act of atonement for being caught “spending the night” with a male friend: the distraught idol was made to shave her head and apologise to fans on YouTube – although her unflattering new hairstyle and public humiliation may be the least of her worries, as she was also punished by being demoted from active AKB48 membership.
AKB48 officially recorded her humiliation for the benefit of fans:

In addition to shaving herself, she has also been formally punished by being dropped from AKB48′s active ranks to “research student” status.
This is ****ing sick. She was forced to shave her head and make a humiliating video to apologize for spending the night with a boy.
Just crazy. She's one of the most popular members, too.
Trying to keep 20 year old women from dating men is useless at best. Demoting them and making them shave their heads and be disgraced publicly is borderline cult behavior.

Supremely ****ed up. I don't even understand. This entire group is so over sexualized to appeal to (probably) older men. Yet one of the members spends a night with a boy and there is backlash? THEIR VIDEOS HAVE THEM IN BIKINIS FEEDING EACH OTHER ON A GIANT DINNER TABLE
It's in her contract. If she wants to date then she has to leave the group.
Also she says shaving her head was her own decision.
Everyone around the net is saying it was obviously her label. + Is it really that hard to believe they're the ones behind it, especially with the video and everything.
I understand there's a culture statement with a haircut in Japan, but not in this kind of way.

I'm surprised they haven't pulled it yet.
