On April 23, 2025, at noon, the Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun reported on the alleged affair between Nagano Mei (25) and Tanaka Kei (40) .

What's surprising is that Tanaka Kei had a key to Nagano Mei's house, and they even enjoyed outside dates, calling her by the nickname "Meiinchui (めいんち) ". The two have a connection, having acted as father and daughter in the 2020 film And the Baton Has Been Passed.

Tanaka Kei explained the report, saying, "It is true that I stayed, but we were not lovers; I just took care of her." However, the prevailing opinion is that it is difficult to view this as a simple incident, given the circumstances that revealed spare keys, nicknames, and even her movements.

2. Suspicion of two-timing with Nagano Mei Kim Mu-jun

The same report also revealed another shocking fact. It was revealed that Nagano Mei had maintained a close personal relationship with Korean actor Kim Moo-joon (born 1998), who is currently starring in the drama Caster. It was also revealed that Nagano invited Kim Moo-joon to her home several times, leading to suspicions of two-timing.

Kim Moo-joon's side immediately denied the dating rumors, saying, "They are just close colleagues." However, Shukan Bunshun continues to report on the circumstances that the two have had close interactions.

In particular, the fact that she met Tanaka Kei again just a few days after her date with Kim Moo-jun further fuels suspicions that their relationship is more than just friendship.

4. Nagano Mei's agency's statement - Denial and self-awareness notice


Regarding this controversy, Nagano Mei's agency Stardust Promotion released the following statement:

“Tanaka Kei and Kim Moo-jun are both seniors and colleagues as actors, and they are not dating.”

 

“However, it is true that there was an action that could be misunderstood, and we have made it clear to the individual to be aware of it.”

 

“I apologize for causing concern to the fans who supported me.”

Although they officially denied the relationship, their agency also admitted that "there was room for misunderstanding," and was unable to completely deny the "relationship."

5. Nagano Mei-Tanaka Kei affair Japanese local reaction

“Is the actress who played the daughter really going to become a new mother?”

“What crime did Kim Moo-jun commit? Sparks flew.”

“Tanaka Kei, the end of the image of a doting daughter”

“I expected her to be a next-generation actress, but I was disappointed”

Currently, Nagano Mei's Instagram is paralyzed with thousands of comments, and the Japanese community is showing pessimistic reactions such as "neither of them can return."


This issue is not just a simple report of a passionate love affair, but is spreading into an international scandal between a Korean star and a Japanese actor.
