Doubt stained scandal forces away person, Johnny's idol unexpectedly withdraws from group

Last August, Okamoto Keito had been exposed having fun one night, with a clear stream of bed photos.




June 20th: Japan's popular Johnny's group Hey!Say!JUMP's 25 year old member Okamoto Keito unexpectedly announced his lightning departure from the group at the end of the month! Shukan Bunshun reported that Johnny has predetermined its official press release regarding this at the end of the month.

It's unthinkable that the news dates back to the previous expose on his mishap. Publications that interrogated Johnny's about the details, also did not receive a response.

Hey!Say!JUMP was established on September of 2007. Because the members were all born in Japan's Heisei era, they were given that name. Okamoto Keito's father Okamoto Kenichi was also a member of the former Johnny's group Otokogumi. Father and son both becoming Johnny's idols is still a hot topic.

Aside from being active in the entertainment industry, Okamoto Keito also passed Sophia University studying International Education, but 5 years ago he was first exposed in rumors with Arimura Kasumi. Last August, it was again reported that he had great fun one night with a clear stream of bed photos.

After the incident, he again went partying which ignited controversy. This April, because he was unable to balance school work and was regularly retained, he announced his withdrawal from Sophia University.

These days, Johnny's is getting into a lot of trouble. NEWS members Koyama Keiichiro and Kato Shigeaki were just recently exposed forcing a female minor to drink and are temporarily stopping work. Whether or not Okamoto Keito is also leaving his group because of being stained with negative news, perhaps will have to wait for the announcement at the end of the month to be cleared up.
