Idol Who Shaved Head After Dating Scandal: Where Is She Now?

She is being talked about again.

AKB48 member Hanada Mei's contract ended after she was caught dating a fan. She made a video with a shaved head to explain herself.

People reacted harshly because they thought she was making fun of another idol who did the same thing years ago. This has made people wonder where that idol is now.

Minami Minegishi was one of the first AKB48 members. She became popular and was moved to different teams as the group grew.

In 2013, paparazzi took pictures of Minegishi leaving a boy's apartment.

Minegishi was punished and had to apologize on video with her head shaved.

The incident was reported worldwide, with many criticizing the idol system for controlling its stars.

Minegishi was allowed back into the group and became a team captain. She stayed with AKB48 until 2019 and had a graduation ceremony in 2021.

After AKB48, Minegishi started a YouTube channel and shared updates about her life. She also got married to Tetsuya Oyaizu in 2022.

Minegishi and her husband have a daughter born in 2024.

In 2026, Minegishi performed with AKB48 again for a special show.

Despite the scandal, Minegishi is back to her normal life and activities.
