A now-viral image of a girl group member has sparked backlash due to its implications.
The X account @deathdolnote,l is a Japan-based account focused on “exposing” individuals, primarily idols. The account usually posts a photo of an idol, adding “proof” of behavior that contradicts the idol’s image, including criminal or “bad” behavior and dating.
The account was behind complaints made against aespa ‘s appearance on Japan’s Kohaku .

Recently, the account exposed the alleged romantic activities of Hitonoyume ‘s Nagomi . Hitonoyume is an idol group based in Japan and will be celebrating their third anniversary this year.
The Deathdol account shared an image of Nagomi with an unidentified man, claiming that the two were spotted leaving a love hotel. Love Hotels are short-stay hotels, often rented by the hour, and used primarily for guest seeking privacy for intimacy.

The post quickly went viral, and currently has over 1.4 million views.
Shortly after, Nagomi took to X to address the allegations and apologized for causing a disruption.
この度はお騒がせしてしまい申し訳ありません。
色々な声がある中でも、変わらず応援してくださる皆さんの言葉に本当に救われています。
今は私自身ヒトノユメ3周年ワンマンライブに向けて全力で頑張りたいと思っています。

I sincerely apologize for causing a disturbance.
Even amid the many different opinions being expressed, I have truly been comforted by the words of those who continue to support me.
Right now, I want to give my all as I work toward Hitonoyume’s 3rd anniversary one-man live.
Moving forward, I will take this matter seriously and reflect deeply. As a member of Hitonoyume, I will face my activities with even greater sincerity than before, take responsibility for my actions, and start again from the beginning by doing my very best.
I am sincerely grateful to everyone who supports me on a daily basis.
Once again, I deeply apologize for the great concern and trouble I have caused.
— Nagomi
Unlike other instances where idols have been removed for dating, Nagomi has remained a member of the group with upcoming schedules.
