Does the fault of the ancestors need to be borne by the younger generations?
Recently, Rima, a member of the JYP new girl group NiziU, was pushed to the forefront of public opinion because of her father and great-grandfather.
At the beginning of this year, South Korea's JYP Entertainment and Japan's Sony Music co-sponsored the Nizi Project, a female idol group selection and survival reality program, in Japan.
Through the program, JYP President Park Chun-young selected a total of 9 Japanese members to form the girl singing group NiziU, and officially debuted on June 30.

Among the 9 members who debuted, there was a name named Rima, and her real name was Yokoi Rimo.
When he participated in the Nizi Project, Rimo Yokoi was very popular. First of all, she is a second generation star, her father is Rapper Zeebra, a leading figure in the Japanese hipop industry, and her mother is model Nakabayashi Mikazu.
Zeebra and Nakabayashi Mikazu are married twice, Zeebra has two sons with his ex-wife, and has two daughters with Nakabayashi Miwa, and Yokoi Rimo is the youngest little princess in the family.
She has been studying at an international school since she was a child, so she speaks English very fluently and does not have an English accent that is unique to Japanese people. Because she liked Twice, Rimo Yokoi dreamed of becoming a K POP singer at JYP and began to learn Korean.
When participating in the show, the excellent Yokoi Rimo was affirmed by Park Jin-young with his dance, song, and Rap all-round strength, and finally made a successful debut.
After its debut, NiziU had a breakthrough trend, and its debut digital album "Make you happy" set a record of 100,000 in the weekly chart of the first oricon digital album in the history of female singers. Its eponymous title song has also won a total of 107 championships in various charts of music websites at home and abroad such as iTunes and QQ Music.
Even Park Chun-young himself said that because of NiziU, JYP Entertainment's stock price has rebounded
Supposedly, NiziU is a period of vigorous rise, but at this time, Yokoi Rimo was pulled out of the "black material"...
The first is the exposure of Yokoi's father, Zeebra, in an affair.
On the 25th of this month, Japanese showbiz media FLASH reported that Zeebra went on a couple's trip with a woman who was not his wife, Mikazu Nakabayashi, to a high-end resort in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture, on the 15th of this month.
Flash reported that Zeebra and the woman touched each other's bodies and kissed each other, ignoring the sight of those around them.
It is reported that on November 22, 2016, Japan's "Husband and Wife Day", Miwa Nakabayashi denied her husband's personality on Twitter, and also expressed dissatisfaction with her husband's oppressive words and deeds, which also surprised the whole of Japan at that time.
Regarding the extramarital intelligence, the reporter of the Japanese magazine asked Zeebra's agency and got a reply of "just a friend".
Zeebra said: "I apologize for causing trouble for people and fans involved. The most important thing is that it has brought harm to the family, and it is reflecting. Efforts will be made to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. ”
If it is only Zeebra's extramarital affair, then it is inevitable that the anger transferred to the daughter Yokoi Rimo is a bit unreasonable, but the exposure of the following matter really angered Korean netizens!
Zeebra's maternal grandfather, Hideki Yokoi, great-grandfather of Rimo Yokoi, was a "royal merchant" who supplied uniforms to the Japanese invading forces during World War II.
Previously, we only knew that Rimo Yokoi was the second generation of the star, but in fact she was a veritable rich woman.
Yokoi's great-grandfather Hideki Yokoi made his fortune during World War II and later became a world-class real estate billionaire, once owning the Empire State Building.
At that time, the 29-year-old Hideki Yokoi suspended his fiber wholesale business and began to concentrate on manufacturing military supplies. Slowly, his business grew larger, and the "Yokoi Shop" became the "Yokoi Industry", and Hideki Yokoi became the imperial merchant of the Japanese Admiral.
His company single-handedly undertook the manufacture of summer jackets for the Japanese Marine Corps that invaded the south during World War II, and was the imperial management company of the Japanese Army, Navy, and quartermaster department.
When it comes to World War II, this is undoubtedly a pain in the hearts of our Chinese and the Korean people. Yokoi's great-grandfather made his fortune from war, no different from getting rich from the blood of our ancestors.
In the brutal Second World War, in the Japanese invasion, the land of our country and Korea was sprinkled with blood, and now, the descendants of the Japanese invading quartermasters of the Second World War ii wear gorgeous clothes and stand on the shining stage...
Although Yokoi herself is not guilty, the material basis she enjoyed since she was a child was made by her great-grandfather with war dividends, which is difficult for us and Koreans to accept.
If Rimo Yokoi had just been an ordinary person or just debuted in Japan, she might not have been attacked by so much public opinion now, but she debuted as the K POP group NiziU, and this group also claimed to go global, then it is really difficult not to respond...
