The story

What Is Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop About?

The premise of Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop without spoilers.

Johnny Kitagawa’s male‑only talent agency turned adolescent boys into J‑pop superstars, while a hidden history of sexual‑abuse allegations persisted for more than five decades. Even after Kitagawa’s 2019 death, Japanese media largely ignored the claims. Journalist Mobeen Azhar investigates the oppressive life of idol trainees, the agency’s grip on the press, and the devastating impact of the industry’s silence.
