Who is the 'crying beauty' whose image was ruined after evidence of cheating was leaked?

Nagano Mei - a rising Japanese actress, was accuse.d of having an affair with married actor Kei Tanaka and Korean actor Kim Moo Joon. The dating evidence was leaked, seriously damaging her innocent image.

Nagano Mei was born on September 24, 1999 in Tokyo and is a famous Japanese actress and model. Entering the entertainment industry at a very young ag.e, her path to stardom was a journey full of effort and luck.

At the ag.e of 9, while still an elementary school student, Nagano Mei attracted the attention of talent scouts on the streets of Kichijoji. This was an important turning point, opening up opportunities for her to start a modeling career for teen magazines such as Nico☆Petite and later nicola. Her pretty face and confident demeanor quickly helped her become one of the most popular young models.

From 2016 to 2019, she was an exclusive model for Seventeen magazine, a solid launching pad for many young stars in Japan.

At the ag.e of 16, fame began to "knock on the door" for Nagano Mei after she participated in the film project My Love Story!. Her role as a pure schoolgirl won the hearts of the public and helped her gain a huge fan base.

After that, the image of a young, fragile gir.l in a series of projects such as Koe Koi, Meteor in the Day, Peach Gir.l... made Nagano Mei the new generation "national first love" of the Japanese screen, helping her regularly appear in many beauty rankings of the most desirable beauties in Japanese showbiz.

"The Most Beautiful Crybaby" is a title that Japanese media and fans have given to Nagano Mei. This title originated from a special event in 2017, when she attended the press conference for the movie Daytime Shootin.g Star. During the press conference, Nagano Mei could not hold back her emotions and shed tears when sharing about her role.

It is noteworthy that the moment when tears rolled down Nagano Mei's delicate face made a strong impression on the public. Instead of making viewers feel weak or pitiful, the image of her crying was praised as "beautiful as a painting", "clear as crystal". Since then, she has been dubbed "Japan's most beautiful crying actress" or "crystal fairy".

Her pure and innocent beauty and natural acting talent helped Nagano Mei quickly win the hearts of the audience. She was often assigned the role of innocent and pure schoolgirls, in line with the "jade gir.l" image that the public assigned to her. In addition, her successful modeling career since childhood also contributed to her radiant appearance and confident demeanor.

However, the title "jade gir.l" often comes with high expectations for her personal image. The recent "playing two-timing" scanda.l has significantly affected the reputation and image that Nagano Mei has worked hard to build. Many fans expressed disappointment and believed that she no longer deserves the title "jade gir.l". However, there are still opinions defending her and hoping that she will overcome this difficult period.

However, Mei Nagano's reputation was shattered after her love affair with two actors Kei Tanaka and Kim Moo Joon was expose.d. The 26-year-old actress was judged to have ruined her future by not controlling her private life.

On April 23, Bunshun newspaper accuse.d Nagano Mei of having a promiscuous love life and of "playing two men". According to Bunshun, the Gen Z actress secretly fell in love with Kei Tanaka despite knowing that the actor already had a wife and 2 children last year.

In October 2024, they celebrated Halloween together. In December 2024, the couple was caught together at an amusement park. After that, Nagano Mei asked her lover to temporarily separate because she felt that this relationship was wrong and posed a risk to her career. However, on April 7, Kei Tanaka and Nagano Mei were said to have "rekindled their old love". The actor was "caught" by paparazzi when he picked up the top actress after completing his schedule and the two spent the night together.

Bunshun revealed that in addition to Kei Tanaka, Mei Nagano also met young Korean actor Kim Moo Joon. The two co-starred in the currently airing drama Nine O'Clock Movement. On April 15, Kim Moo Joon went to Mei Nagano's house where she passed away. After Kim Moo Joon returned to Korea on April 17, Mei Nagano immediately went on a date with Kei Tanaka that same night. The couple went out to dinner, had fun at the bar until morning, and then went back to the actress's house together.

After the scanda.l broke out, Mei Nagano's management company denied that the beauty had a romantic relationship with the two actors. Nagano Mei and Kei Tanaka also denied the "extramarital" love affair, affirming that they did nothing wrong. As for Kim Moo Joon, he said that he went to Nagano Mei's house when her family and mutual friends were also present. The actor said that he and his co-star in Nine O'Clock Movement did not have any romantic relationship.

However, despite the two male leads denying their relationship with Nagano Mei, the wave of condemnation against the actress has not subsided. The public believes that the explanations of the three stars are unbelievable and false. They are suspected of having arranged it with each other to save face for themselves, avoiding a quick collapse of their reputations.

This movie achieved a very high rating of 14.2% in the first episode. The female lead's private life scanda.l could affect this work, the sponsor would withdraw advertising and the audience would turn their backs. Therefore, the parties involved were forced to "rescue" Nagano Mei.

On the morning of April 24, the TV station also announced that Nagano Mei's role in Nine O'Clock Movement would remain intact and would not be cu.t from the air. This caused great outrage among the Japanese public. It can be said that this love scanda.l has seriously affected and completely destroyed Nagano Mei's pure image.
