Who could have predicted this?
Just as Ai Hongo’s scandal hit the news, her latest release came out, and it oddly mirrors recent events!
This November, her new film, “The Newly-Hired Male Employee Tells Me He’s Getting Married, and My Jealousy Goes Wild! Stealing His Heart and Soul with My Favorite Ride-Em Position, NTR Female Boss”, dropped, with a storyline that’s an eerie coincidence. In the film, Yuta Aoi (nicknamed “Dark Shohei” by fans) shares the news of his engagement with the office, and while most colleagues congratulate him, one person isn’t so happy.
That’s right—it’s his boss, played by Ai Hongo.
In the story, Hongo’s character is known as an attractive and respected boss, though she has a habit of taking whatever (or whoever) she wants. So, when Aoi announces his engagement, she plots to make him hers. Under the guise of celebration, she gets him tipsy, brings him to a hotel, and seduces him, taking over his attention (and commitment) completely.
It’s almost uncanny—between Aoi’s “Dark Shohei” nickname and the infidelity theme, it feels as if the storyline hints at the real-life tabloid frenzy surrounding Hongo. (Her own scandal erupted after she was seen in Los Angeles watching baseball star Shohei Ohtani play.) Of course, this film was likely shot months ago, but it’s hard to ignore the parallel.
In the film, Hongo delivers an unforgettable performance. Although her look is enhanced, her natural allure shines through—her sweet smile flips instantly to reveal her devilish side. Her toned waist and striking curves are on full display in office, hotel, and restaurant scenes that keep the energy high, even as the story casts her in a “temptress” role. The contrast between her and the character playing Aoi’s fiancée adds a layer of satisfaction for viewers—Hongo’s allure is undeniable.
The timing couldn’t be more curious, considering her recent scandal. As the headlines erupted over her alleged affair, questions arose about Hongo’s real-life persona.
Despite a livestream host claiming responsibility for their relationship (saying he pursued Hongo due to his admiration for her as an actress), Hongo faced serious backlash. Japanese social media buzzed with accusations and criticism, and her apology video left her in a difficult place professionally. Some critics went so far as to call her a “homewrecker,” and her social media activity only added fuel to the fire—she tweeted updates on her work even after announcing a break, which she later deleted, leaving followers with mixed feelings about her sincerity.
From what I’ve heard, the scandal has hit Hongo hard, and she’s reportedly cut off most outside communication. Her agency has no timeline for her return and is preparing for the worst, in case she decides not to come back.
Hongo’s case is a cautionary tale about the impact of personal issues on professional life. Watching her struggle with public scrutiny highlights why some agencies keep actresses as busy as possible, as in the case of Remu Suzumori. With full schedules across Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and now Los Angeles, there’s hardly time to stir up controversy.
