KATTUN is another member down!!! Tanaka Koki’s contract ended

Hi guys. KATTUN has had some really unfortunate news lately. (I haven’t had the chance to post in the last few days/week.) Anyway, Johnny and Associates canceled their contract with Tanaka Koki, due to his repeated violation of company rules. I was so shocked when I found out about this. It was a huge hit when Jin left a few years back, and now Koki is gone too D: I still love KATTUN so much but now the whole dynamics feels changed. I wonder if Kame feels lonely now T ^ T

I understand that Johnny’s policies are really strict, but I just feel bad that the members have to follow such strict guidelines. I feel as an artist, one should have the liberty to experience things and do what makes them happy, which translates into the music and their art. I feel like it’s very hard to follow rules regarding your life choices when you’re a 28 year old man. However, I do also understand it from Johnny’s perspective, and it is a privilege and a dream for most to have been where Tanaka was. I just feel like it’s some tough circumstances regarding asian entertainment industries in general.
