Actor Ino Hiroki apologizes for the scandal involving him and AKB48 member Okada Nana dating

Last week, “Bunshun” exposed that both Ino Hiroki (30) and AKB48 member Okada Nana (25) were dating. But the scandal erupted because of the “AKB48 no love rule” which fans expect that idols in the AKB48-related groups are not allowed to date or have any relationships.  And the fact that Okada is a veteran and popular member of AKB48 who once criticized members in the past who got in trouble for causing a scandal by dating and was part of the disciplinary committee.

Okada Nana posted an apology but also announced earlier this week that she is graduating from AKB48.

Meanwhile, Ino Hiroki posted on Instagram, “I apologize for causing trouble and worry. Also, we received various opinions. I deeply accept it. I think that what I can do is to devote myself to each and every job, starting with the fans who have been supporting me on a daily basis, and everyone involved”.
