The official website for the NGT48 idol group announced on Tuesday that the staff has canceled the Team NIII subgroup’s performances on January 22 and January 23.
Food company Ichimasa Kamaboko also announced on Monday that it will hold back on airing its commercials that featured NGT48.
NGT48 is a sister group of the AKB48 idol group based in Niigata prefecture, and it launched in 2015.
The cancellations follow the alleged assault of Team G vice captain Maho Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi’s comments on the incident, and the replacement of NGT48 theater manager Etsurō Imamura.
