Actress Kanna Kan, who currently plays Rurino Osawa in the new Love Live! franchise Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Clubbecame embroiled in a major controversy on social media after retweeting a hateful post aimed at members of the older generation, Nijigasaki High School Idol ClubThe situation quickly went viral, as fans of the franchise quickly realized the tense situation that apparently exists between the different generations of idols in the project, something that until now had been kept hidden behind a facade of harmony and collaboration.

Following the incident, Kanna Kan issued a public apology on his Twitter account, explaining that it was not his intention to retweet the content and that he is investigating whether the issue was caused by having his phone in his pocket during class or whether it was a possible hack. In her statement, the actress wrote:

• «I deeply apologize for causing concern and inconvenience on Twitter. I'm still not sure if this was because I had my phone in my pocket during class or if it was a hack, but I wanted to make it clear that this retweet does not reflect my intentions. I'm working to confirm exactly what happened and prevent something like this from happening again. I'll also be reviewing my social media usage. Finally, I want to ensure I don't use any other accounts other than this one. I promise to reflect deeply and regain your trust. I'm deeply sorry for what happened.».

The incident awakened a series of comments among Love Live! fans, who now speculate about internal tensions between the different generations of idols! who participate in the franchise. Although they have publicly presented themselves as a united group, this episode raised questions among followers.

Many of the community comments pointed out inconsistencies in Kanna's explanation. Some users expressed doubts about the possibility of a hack or the “bug” she mentioned. One user commented:

• «It's not that I want to criticize, but from the beginning I thought that keeping your cell phone in your pocket during class shows a lack of professionalism. I expressed my opinion by interpreting classes as work time.».

Another user was more direct in his skepticism:

• «After doing a little research, it's hard to believe this post was retweeted by mistake. You have to tap the screen twice to retweet, so it's unlikely this happened in your pocket.».
• «Instead of making such a far-fetched excuse, it would have been better to say something like, "I tapped the screen without looking and the retweet button was pressed." At large agencies, their talent is required to set up two-factor authentication on Twitter, so it's hard to believe it was "hacked."».

Other comments supported the hacking theory, noting that Kanna Kan is not known for negative behavior on social media:

• «Kanna Kan doesn't seem like the type of person who would make a hate tweet, so I think it's likely that she was hacked.».
• «They shouldn't have private accounts, but they end up posting by mistake. In this case, she probably got confused and thought she was logged into her personal account instead of her work account.».

While some fans have expressed their support for the actress, others feel that the hacking or “accidental retweet” excuse is insufficient. One of the most shared comments on social media said:

• «It's hard to believe this was a mistake, since retweeting requires double-tapping. It's unlikely this happened by accident.».
• «"I didn't mean to." Keep that, no matter what. For the sake of Love Live's content and the actors who did their best to portray their characters, never admit that was your intention.».
• «I was surprised when I saw he had retweeted that penniless pig; it was so funny. I hadn't heard from that person in a long time.».
• «There are a lot of fans who say this was hacking because they don't believe she would do something like that, I find it funny. So, how did 'Doyakonga' come about? (Inori Minase's multi-account where she badmouthed other voice actresses)».

However, also There are those who consider that internal conflicts in the franchise are inevitable due to the size and competitiveness of the groupsand that incidents like this reflect the pressures actresses are under. For now, Kanna Kan's future within the franchise remains uncertain, and although she has promised to improve and review her social media actions, it remains to be seen whether she can regain the trust of fans and the Love Live! production team.
