Survival Show Contestant Admits To Having Sex With Middle Schooler, Apologizes To Fans
Recently, Fantasy Boys contestant Hinata apologized for the past scandal that resulted in him leaving the show.
While Fantasy Boys was airing, Hinata was alleged to have had sex with a 3rd-year middle schooler while he was in his second year of high school. The pair were reportedly dating, but the information resulted in him being removed from Fantasy Boys and his content being edited out.
A representative told OSEN that Hinata had a record of apologizing for the “inappropriate behavior.”
We have decided to remove Hinata from the program. We were able to verify and make the decision quickly since Hinata had record of having apologized for inappropriate behavior while he was a TikTok content creator.

Reflection and Apology for Past Actions
A few years ago, because of my immature behavior, I caused a lot of disappointment and hurt to those who supported me at the time. I was too immature and selfish back then. I want to reflect deeply once again and sincerely apologize. Until now, I have avoided facing my past. But I believe that to move forward, I must confront my past. That’s why I decided to convey this message. I know that regaining lost trust won’t be easy, but I will strive diligently to show sincerity to you all.
Thank you
— Translation of Hinata’s Korean message
Based on middle school ages in Japan, the girl could have been anywhere from 13-15 years old, while Hinata was 16-17.
The age of consent in Japan is 16 years old, having been raised from 13 but exceptions exist for those 13-15 when the other party is no more than five years older.
