Japanese star convicted of indecent assault in Hong Kong
HONG KONG: A Hong Kong court on Wednesday found J-pop artist Kenshin Kamimura guilty of indecent assault after he harassed a woman working as his interpreter at a restaurant earlier this year. Kamimura, 26, is a former member of the boy band ONE N'ONLY, which expelled him shortly after the allegation. Fans queued to get into court for hours before the hearing, and some broke down in tears upon learning Kamimura had been convicted. The court heard Kamimura touched the woman's thighs multiple times despite her objections, and invited her to go to the bathroom with him. Magistrate Peter Yu found he had assaulted her, adding his behaviour "clearly shows disrespect for women." The incident took place in March during a celebratory dinner, after a fan meet for which the woman had been working as an interpreter for Kamimura and others. The Japanese star was fined HK$15,000 (US$1,900). Kamimura, who is also known as an actor in the Japanese drama "Our Youth", hugged his court translator upon hearing he would be fined without facing jail time, media reports said. Kamimura got "what he deserved", Yu said, adding that "had the victim not refused to remain silent and courageously come forward, she would have suffered an unpleasant experience in silence." But ardent fans inside and outside the court were in tears. Chen, a 30-year-old screenwriter and fan who gave only her last name, said she had come from northern China to watch the court session. She told AFP before the verdict that the trial has had a negative impact on Kamimura's image, and had incited "public outbursts of vitriol against the artist."

(Video) SUPER JUNIOR Shindong Reveals What Really Happens Behind the Scenes of Idol Dating
Dating in the K-pop industry is often a topic approached with caution, and sometimes outright avoidance. It's not uncommon for idols to be under strict no-dating policies. Furthermore, these rules are meant to help them stay focused and maintain a clean image among fans. Whether it's due to parasocial dynamics or the fear of public scrutiny, romantic relationships continue to be a taboo subject in Korean entertainment. However, during a recent YouTube interview titled 'We Asked Shindong Questions We Were Curious About,' SUPER JUNIOR (슈퍼주니어) member Shindong (신동) spoke openly about dating as an idol. His honest and unfiltered responses surprised both fans and the interviewer. During the conversation, host JM asked Shindong whether he often meets members of the opposite gender as a celebrity. In response, Shindong said dating is possible, for those who put in the effort. If he wanted to pursue someone, he explained, he could ask for numbers at broadcasting stations. Additionally, the idol also mentioned that he could approach fellow celebrities during industry meetups. However, despite having those opportunities, he emphasised that he's never acted on them. Shindong went on to point out that confidence plays a major role in how many idols find romantic partners. According to the dancer, several of his friends have successfully started relationships simply by being bold enough to make the first move. As for himself, he admits to receiving messages in his inbox but rarely feels compelled to reply, noting that online personas can differ significantly from real-life interactions. When asked about his future plans regarding marriage, Shindong shared that he once set a personal goal to tie the knot by the age of 48. However, recently, his perspective has shifted. These days, he finds himself thinking more about starting a family. He's even expressed a growing desire to have a child. Some of his friends have advised him not to wait too long. After all, starting a family can become more difficult with age, he's also taking into consideration. Although he hasn't made any firm decisions just yet, Shindong's openness provides a rare glimpse into the personal life of an idol navigating both fame and future aspirations. In an industry where romantic topics are often kept behind closed doors, his honesty brings a refreshing layer to the ongoing conversation around love, relationships, and adulthood in the K-pop world.
