Hoshino refused to invite former Smap members in "Red and White", a combination of his wife Niigaki

In May this year, Japan's "national wife" Yui Niigaki flashed to marry the male protagonist Hoshino Gen, who cooperated in the drama "The Wife of the Monthly Salary" (also known as "Escape Is Shameful but Useful"), which broke the hearts of many fans. Recently, it was reported that NHK TV's heavyweight New Year's Eve festival "Red and White Singing Competition" intended to invite Hoshino Gen to join the performance lineup and take his wife Yui Niigaki to the stage together, but he has solemnly declined the invitation, and the audience who want to see them flash in a high profile may be disappointed.

Now the TV station has turned to inviting former Smap members Shingo Katori, Goro Inagaki and Tsuyoshi Kusaka, who have served as "Tokyo Olympic Goodwill Ambassadors", which is the first time they have starred in "Red and White" since the dissolution of the group, which is expected to create a discussion.
