Shohei‘s heartbreaking lyrics for his new self-composed song spark fury towards SM Entertainment.
Shohei has been a part of the trot group MYTRO, but concerns for the group’s disbandment sparked fear as social media accounts were deleted.
Idol Group’s Accounts Deleted Without Notice, Sparking Fear Of Disbandment
On May 15, Shohei posted an original song on Instagram, with heartbreaking lyrics seemingly alluding to his time as a trainee and in Korea.
Bought a one-way ticket on a plane I shouldn’t be on phones in airplane mode,
I leave without a word
In a seat that doesn’t even deserve to see the view
Window closed, trapped inside stories of the pastDragging my suitcase, checking in luggage to Japan
Swore under the rainbow sky that I would never go back
My tangled mind is lost in a maze
About everything that happened because of my own choicesThat diligent, timid guy
Now has to pay a heavy price for that moment
Everyday, I repent and beg for forgiveness
Afraid that I might rot away, I bury lyrics deep into these pagesA novel written with an inferiority complex
A self-tightened noose suits me well
I’ve lost everything
He’s disqualified as a human
No one can accept me.— Shohei
When the video was posted, netizens shared their anger and how deep the lyrics were. From rumors that Shohei was going to debut in NCT to MYTRO and now an uncertain future, fans pointed out how raw and honest the lyrics were, hitting back at SM Entertainment for how they managed the idol.

Shohei didn’t just write a song, he bared his soul. the way he delivers every line like it’s the last thing he’ll ever say… it’s haunting. raw grief, guilt, and regret. I felt that. he’s not alone. 😔🫂🫂

Truly speechless,he looks exhausted and broken. Years of training, two empty debut promises and they still tossed him aside. And yes this is SM everyone. This is the ‘future’ they promise: empty words, broken dreams, and disposable trainees. https://t.co/67OsQ0k9vd
