Thank you very much for your warm support for JO1.

Once again, we would like to offer our deepest apologies to all concerned parties and fans for the inconvenience and concern caused by the series of reports regarding our artist, TSURUBO SHION.

She has taken the various opinions seriously, and in the video she released the other day, she expressed her strong determination to "fulfill her responsibilities." We take her feelings seriously, and after discussion, we have decided that as part of that responsibility, TSURUBO SHION will suspend her activities for the time being.

Although he has accepted the criticism he has received sincerely, the mental impact of the situation cannot be ignored. We would appreciate your kind consideration.

Our company and all of our members take this series of events very seriously.

Our company and all members will continue to work sincerely on future activities, and during the period when TSURUBO SHION is on hiatus, we will continue as a group of 10.

We will continue to steadily implement measures to prevent recurrence and restore trust.

We would like to once again offer our deepest apologies to all those involved and to the fans who support us on a daily basis for the great inconvenience and concern caused.

We would appreciate your continued understanding and support.
