Where Is He Now? The Idol Who Disguised Himself To Date In Secret

How far would you go to keep a secret? One idol went the extra mile to try to avoid media attention. Unfortunately, his plan backfired.

Daigo Nishihata, a member of the Japanese idol group Naniwa Danshi became wrapped up in dating allegations last summer. On August 9, 2023, the Shūkan Bunshun, a news outlet similar to Korea’s Dispatch, alleged that Daigo Nishihata was dating Kaho Adachi, an announcer two years his junior.

According to the article, the idol had spent a night with the announcer. The idol was photographed wearing a woman’s wig, bucket hat, and mask to conceal his identity. The photo and story ended up going viral in both Japan and Korea.
