Takahashi Kyohei of Naniwa Danshi is facing controversy over his grooming habits.
A photo featuring the J-Pop star went viral for all the wrong reasons. In the image, Kyohei is seen wearing Off-White slides, but it’s his extremely long toe nails that caught netizens’ attention.
Critics quickly took to social media, expressing their disgust.
“F***, that’s so disgusting.”
“His socks are gonna rip.”
“Ugh, gross.”
The backlash continued to grow, with users taking to a Korean forum to share their thoughts. Many commented on the shocking nature of the revelation.
“Damn it, I regret seeing this.”
“Ew…”
“Dirty.”
This strange incident has taken a life of its own, with some even dubbing it a “toenail scandal.” Kyohei has yet to respond to the uproar.
