A well-known actor in Japan has publicly expressed remorse after alleging sexual harassment from the president of his talent agency. The actor hasn't disclosed details about the accusations, but it appears the incident took place at a past undisclosed date. The revelation has sparked debate about the systemic problem of harassment within the Japanese entertainment industry.

Sexual harassment and power dynamics in the workplace are serious concerns in Japan. The situation is particularly rampant in the entertainment industry, which often prioritizes preserving the reputation of established figures. However, in recent years, public sentiment has gradually shifted towards supporting victims, triggered in part by global movements such as #MeToo.

In the U.S. and EU, such allegations usually lead to extensive legal battles and substantial media attention. However, cultural and legal differences result in varying levels of victim support and penalties for accused figures. While both regions are making progress in addressing systemic harassment, it remains a critical issue in entertainment and other industries.
