Japan actor Higashide Masahiro, who was involved in the affair with KARAta Erica, who is also active in Korea, including the "Asdal Chronicle", was dismissed from his agency.
Japan entertainment agency Yumanite said, "After 14 days, I canceled the exclusive agreement with Higashide Masahiro."
Masahiro Higashide was at the center of controversy when it was announced that he had an affair with KARAta Erica, who played together in the 2020 film "Asako". Since then, the two have acknowledged the affair and apologized for "repenting and repenting."
Since then, Masahiro Higashide has returned to the entertainment industry in controversy, but it was known late that she called a woman Friend A at the Hiroshima Hotel, which she stayed for filming last October.
Although he resumed his activities with the help of various people in the affair, he seemed to continue his female efforts without reflecting on his mistakes or thanking him for returning. At that time, his agency also said, "It seems to be true to me." "It is wrong to act."
The agency eventually terminated the contract with Masahiro Higashide. "We have been doing our best to deal with Masahiro Higashide for the past two years. As he went through each piece of work seriously, he thought that he might find the possibility of Risen as an actor someday. Of course, I thought that Higashide Masahiro himself would be going with the same mind as us. "
He pointed out that he and his trust were broken by calling the woman Friend on the set last fall.
"Risen's path was frustrated by the lack of consideration of Higashide last fall, and what we felt at that time was nothing but anger and futility. And after deliberation, I came to the conclusion that it was difficult to be together anymore. "This decision was an option of anguish."
"The exclusive contract is over, but there are some undisclosed works (shot by Masahiro Higashide)," he said. "I would like to re-examine what is important to him and walk the path of Risen."
Masahiro Higashide is well known in Korea for his drama 'Confidence Man JP', the movie 'Spy's Wife', 'Asako' and 'The Walking Invader'. Japanese famous actor Watanabe Ken's daughter, An, married, but KARAta Erica was found to have an affair and eventually divorced.
