Nothing prevents Maho from slamming the door now I guess. I'm afraid, they would need a lot of external support for this.
Talk about a whitewash. They certainly got what they paid for with that report. Disgusting. NGT48 are cancer.
Yeah its pretty clear that the management wont punish the said member who leaks as maho claimed from the start Now whether or not there is actually a member leaking the info, we might never know
Spoiler: Google trad while hoping for a better one The third party committee reported on March 18th the results of the survey, so we will publish the full text of the report. In the report of the third party committee, the facts related to this case were found, and it was judged that none of the members of NGT48 was involved in the case itself, and there were operational deficiencies. It was pointed out. We sincerely accept the results of the survey and would like to do our best to improve the deficiencies pointed out by the third party committee. In addition, in order to make a firm response to the suspects who have made an assault, we are examining civil legal measures to prevent such cases from happening again. Also, in the report of the third party committee, although it is not directly related to this case, it is mentioned that the members had a connection with the fans in the private domain, and as our company, it is the private domain The relationship with the fans in is considered inappropriate as an act of giving preference to specific fans. However, it is necessary to be held responsible because we have problems with organizational management, and we have not provided appropriate standards and guidance to staff and members in advance. The general disturbance of the customs, including the connection with the fans in the private domain, is irrelevant at this time. As a policy for the future, we always face the members and solve through discussions, and we will consider strict disposal as management if we discover relationships with fans or actions that disturb the group's union. Again, considering the safety measures of members as the top priority, strengthening the management system at the time of transfer of members, strengthening the crime prevention system, strengthening the management system of condominiums where members live, strengthening the security system at handshake meetings, specific We will thoroughly prevent the occurrence of connections with fans. Based on that, we will strengthen organizational management, thoroughly educate members and staff, and promote awareness. We will work on sound management so that you can support NGT48 again.
I've said it to myself for some time. I think it's a good time for this "NGT isn't NiiGaTa but Not-Good-managemenT"
It's a disappointing conclusion to the whole situation, clear they just want to brush it under the rug and move on. Sadly I think we're probably going to be in for a graduation announcement very soon which sucks because Maho has a lot of potential and none of this should have happened to her.
unfortunately, i don't see anyway to actually prove "direct involvement" from members in the attack. especially since the investigation didn't even begin until months after the incident and any possible culprits had plenty of warning they'd be investigated. what confuses me is the way they highlight stronger security at handshakes. it's like they don't know where the assault took place
Completely convinced of guilt without a shred of real evidence. Delusional. And disgusting. Presumably it's to prevent further private contact exchange between members and fans. They aren't just trying to prevent another attack they're trying to prevent members from getting involved with fans again. This might also be why they've gotten stricter about the girls improvising during 1-shot movies.
That isn't to protect from future attacks. It is to suggest that it will be harder to get close enough to have a private/inappropriate relationship with a member, and also a warning to upset fans that if they step out of line they'll be banned from events, so you better not say shit to the members as NGT goes full speed ahead predending the last 4 months didn't happen.
And everything is back to normal. Fans will keep supporting their oshi and the public will forget about the story. The only thing will remain forever is the terrified of the victim and her family, just like every sexual harassment case out there.
the report is out; in a nutshell: it's bullshit. they said no members were involved, but they at least also stated, that 36 members have reported that at least 12 of the girls has relationship with fans. management is aware of it, and is not planning anything to prevent it ggwp aks
