The story
Hello! Project-affiliated idol Rena Ichioka announced that she and Akari Matsuwaki would hold their first-ever dinner show on November 14 at the Shin-Yokohama Prince Hotel — but the announcement text read “Disney Show” instead of “Dinner Show.” 5ch users had a field day debating whether it was a simple typo or an autocomplete slip, and the conversation soon drifted to her alleged “track record” of hosting an unauthorized meetup at Disneyland in the past. It also came up that Matsuwaki had previously been expelled from another idol group over a contract violation.

which one's actually correct?
I'm a country bumpkin so I wouldn't know, but isn't that supposed to be a pretty fancy hotel?
It's right on the way to Yokohama Arena
Shin-Yokohama's a nice area — it's close to Nissan Stadium and Mt. Okura (*^^*)
Oh, so she used to be with iDOL Street (an idol talent agency)?
Where did it all go wrong
You clearly don't know how wild Ichioka can be
as "Disney"
NO WAAAAAAAY!!!
Scary handing over your name and phone number like that — feels like it'd end up with a "tokuryu" gang (an anonymous, ad-hoc crime ring recruited via social media)
That's impressive
I wonder if Mickey Mouse himself shows up
Background and Key Points of This Story
Typos and autocomplete slip-ups in underground Hello! Project idols’ announcement posts are a classic source of amusement on 5ch, and this time the leading theory was that she typed “Di” and let autocomplete fill in “Disney” without double-checking. On the other hand, using Disney’s name without authorization in a promotional announcement could raise real trademark concerns, so it isn’t purely a joke. The fact that Akari Matsuwaki was previously expelled from another idol group over a contract violation is confirmed in the source article, but claims about Ichioka having “fallen for a host” (host-club slang) or her past “unauthorized Disneyland meetup” are unverified rumors circulated on 5ch, and this article does not vouch for their accuracy.
