The story
A photo tabloid website posted a “scoop teaser” on X (formerly Twitter) reading “National idol group alum: ‘I have a 10-year-old son’ — secret marriage & divorce,” sparking a wave of discussion. With the full article not yet published and the person’s identity still unrevealed, the thread ran wild on scraps of information, floating one candidate after another — “Morning Musume or AKB?”, “Could it be Berryz Koubou?” Opinions also split over what the headline’s “OG” even stood for, with wild guesses ranging from “Old Girl” to “Ogawa.”

National idol group alum: “I have a 10-year-old son” — secret marriage & divorce

What people said
Pretty sure he hasn't quit SET yet (his comedy troupe).
At her age it'd be a secret grandkid, not a secret kid.
Just looked it up — turns out she's not just got kids, she's got grandkids lol
If we assume she's at least somewhat famous, that narrows it to maybe 10 people?
Maybe she's marrying someone in the horse racing industry.
She was on that live show almost every week — if she'd been pregnant, it definitely would've shown.
"National idol group," though. (doesn't fit)
"Old Girl"? If so, it's a woman.
Don't bring up that one voice actress who couldn't hide her pregnancy because of her live show and had to announce her divorce and remarriage publicly.
Old G-san?
Probably not Johnny's or some male idol group.
It's "OG," so it's a woman.
Former Morning Musume member Ogawa Makoto?
Erepyon? Or was it Ono?
Now that you mention it, we haven't heard anything about her whereabouts in over 10 years.
Could this be her?
Then Berryz Koubou clears that bar!
If she got married and had a kid after quitting, isn't that just a happy ending?
Yeah, fair.
It's really just nice getting an update on someone who's been out of the spotlight for so long.
Background and key points of this discussion
The headline stems from a “scoop teaser” that photo tabloid websites post on X ahead of the print magazine’s release — a technique that withholds the subject’s real name to build interest before the full article goes up. Entertainment magazines have leaned on this tactic heavily in recent years, and the post itself contains almost no information that could identify who’s actually involved. The thread’s central debate over “OG” refers to a term used in school clubs meaning “Old Girl,” i.e. a graduate — in idol lingo it’s shorthand for “former member.” Even so, with only three clues to go on — “national,” “OG,” and “10-year-old son” — narrowing it down to a single person proved difficult, and candidates like Morning Musume, AKB48, and Onyanko Club never rose above speculation. There were even cases of posters self-correcting mid-thread, as with the Yokoyama Rurika theory, which was walked back with “she’s not from a national idol group.” Since the magazine’s actual article remained unconfirmed at the time of writing, the real identity and facts of the matter would need to be verified separately through the original source.
