Question from a reader:
About BE:FIRST’s Ryoki, why doesn’t the media report more on him? If he were a talent from the former Johnny’s agency, I believe there would be a bigger uproar. I can’t help but feel that there might be some special consideration at play. Also, it’s honestly painful to see fans excessively defending him, even when there are
ethical issues, even if there are no legal violations.
Thoughts on Ryoki’s Coverage
Recently, discussions about BE:FIRST’s Ryoki have surfaced online, prompting me to reflect on the implications. I would like to briefly touch on the reasons behind the limited media coverage and the excessive defense by fans from a legal perspective. First, the lack of issues surrounding Ryoki is likely tied to his level of recognition. Certainly, if he were a talent from the former Johnny’s agency, the media would react sensitively, but I feel Ryoki has not yet reached that stage. The reality is that the news value is lacking.
The Legal and Ethical Borderline
Additionally, the absence of legal issues is another contributing factor. Unless there are legal violations, there is little reason for the media to report extensively. For example, if there were clear illegal activities such as underage drinking, drug use, or domestic violence, the likelihood of coverage would increase. Compared to such cases, Ryoki’s situation remains primarily an ethical concern. Personally, I understand the feelings of fans who excessively defend him. Fan psychology can sometimes become blind. I also find myself reacting defensively when I hear critical opinions about artists I like. At those times, I often realize I’ve lost my composure somewhere along the way.
Fan Psychology and Its Impact
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend about fan psychology. He expressed a strong desire to protect what he loves, even leading to excessive defense at times. I completely understand that feeling, as I often want to unconditionally support my favorite authors and artists. However, I believe it’s also necessary to think calmly at times. Conflicts of opinion among fans can become intense, and reflecting on how meaningless that can be is somewhat sad. It’s important to cherish what we love, but equally crucial to respect the opinions of others.
Share Your Experience
What do you think about these issues? If you have any thoughts or memorable experiences related to Ryoki, I would love for you to share them in the comments. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s perspectives, whether from a fan’s viewpoint or a legal standpoint. By exchanging our opinions, we might discover something new. I look forward to hearing from you!
