Actress suspended for a year over blog post

20-year-old actress Natsuko Hoshino, who has played minor roles in television dramas such as “1 Litre of Tears” and “Jikou Keisatsu,” has been suspended for a year by her management, it was announced on Wednesday.

Hoshino had written on her blog about the incident of Keiko Miura and her two granddaughters, who have been missing since last week and appear to have been the victims of a violent crime.

It seems the blog entry was written in a way that labeled a specific person as the culprit, even though the investigation is still ongoing. Upon discovering the post, Hoshino’s agency deleted it, calling the remarks inappropriate and irresponsible, and forced the actress to apologize.
