When Johnny's Office held a press conference on the 2nd of this month regarding the issue of Johnny Kitagawa's sexual assault, the company that had been entrusted with managing the press conference disclosed the names and photos of multiple reporters and freelance journalists. Interviews with people involved revealed that they had brought a ``no-no'' list with them to the venue to prevent them from asking questions. Regarding this, Johnny's office said that the list of media that the company brought to the meeting beforehand had "NG" written on it, so they told them, "You have to guess," and the list was brought to the venue.
