Hey! Say! JUMP's Morimoto Ryutaro Activities Suspended Due to Underage Smoking

Hey! Say! JUMP member, Morimoto Ryutaro’s (16) smoking photos recently appeared on the latest issue of  “Shukan Josei” which was released on June 28th. Because of this, Johnny & Associates made an announcement that Morimoto’s entertainment activities will be suspended indefinitely.

“Shukan Josei” posted the photo of Morimoto smoking which was from back in May of 2010 when Morimoto was just 15 years old. Additionally, other photos of him from January 2010 were also posted which means he was 14 years old at the time of those photos.

According to Johnny & Associates, when they asked Morimoto for an explanation, he admitted that he has smoked several times in the past out of curiosity.

The company made a statement, “Although he is deeply searching his conscience, it is common sense that the law prohibits minors from smoking, and it’s a prohibited act.  Taking this fact seriously, we have decided to suspend his entertainment activities indefinitely.”

Hey! Say! JUMP is scheduled to release their new single “OVER” on the 29th, and also many promotional activities are planned,  however, the group will have to continue their activities with nine members now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH pagi ini gue buka Tokyohive dan kaget ngeliat berita mengenai hal yang menimpa Morimoto Ryutaro (Hey! Say! JUMP). Aah kalaupun benar semoga aja Ryutaro ga keluar dari Hey! Say! JUMP. Walaupun harus dipetieskan dulu gpp deh yang penting dia tetap jadi anggota Hey! Say! JUMP. Aneh kan kalo Hey! Say! JUMP jadi 9 doang?! Yah walaupun Ryutaro bukan ichiban gue di Hey! Say! JUMP tapi tampangnya yang imuuuuut itu menjadi warna tersendiri di Hey! Say! JUMP. Oia mungkin saat ini gue ga bisa melakukan apa-apa karena Ryutaro berada nun jauh di Jepang di sana tapi, setidaknya melalui kekuatan jejaring sosial gue akan mendukung Ryutaro sepenuh hati untuk tetap bersama di Hey! Say! JUMP.
