On September 4 (local time), Japanese singer Honoka Rin opened up about her past experiences with bullying on her personal account.
On this day, Honoka cited a post from an Internet user who claimed that she was bullied during her middle school years and said, “Every morning when I went to school, my desk was overturned and insults were written on the blackboard. My bag was thrown out of the window and mints for my throat were placed in my food tray,” sharing anecdotes about the bullying he experienced.
Furthermore, Honoka added: “Someone would throw chalk out of the window and various incidents would occur such as false rumors spreading around the school,” remembering his past.
She then revealed why she had never been able to speak out before her victimization, saying: “I thought being bullied meant something shameful, so I couldn’t tell anyone at the time.”
Finally, she looked a little relieved when she concluded: “I think I’m fine now.”
Meanwhile, Honoka Rin made her singing debut in September 2017 with the song “Melon Soda” and has been active as a singer ever since. Before her singing debut, she also worked as a model.
Previously, in 2017, Honoka had sparked controversy with remarks such as: “Isn’t it rare for married people not to commit adultery? About 7 out of 10 do,” implying that most married people in Japan are unfaithful.
At that time, he admitted, “Have I lived too long in the dark?” and confessed that he had seen many people engaging in affairs and extramarital affairs.
In particular, Honoka was also criticized when it was revealed that she had a de facto relationship with Kawatani Enon, the singer of the band Gesu no Kiwami Otome, who is 8 years older than her, while she was a minor.
