Popular female idol-turned-actor caught having an affair using a menstrual record app

In MBC Every1's 'War of the Roses', which will be aired on February 27, an unimaginable couple story brought about by a secret in a smartphone will unfold.
On this day's broadcast, the affair scandal of Mariko Shinoda, a member of the popular Japanese girl group AKB48 during its heyday and currently working as an actress, will be revealed. Shinoda became an issue in Japan with the story of how she received an unexpected proposal from a non-celebrity man she met for the first time and later ended up getting married.
Their fairytale-like couple story gradually began to deteriorate three years after their marriage. This is because Shinoda started going out every night and stayed out more often. The husband, who was aware of Shinoda's habit of saving all personal schedules on her cell phone, began tracking Shinoda using a tablet PC linked to the cell phone.
In the end, the husband caught Shinoda's affair through an app on his tablet PC, and that app was none other than the 'Menstruation Record App'. Shinoda recorded the days she slept with her husband or affair partner in the app using pink hearts and light blue hearts, respectively. As a result, Shinoda and her husband are said to be currently in divorce proceedings.
Meanwhile, on this day's broadcast, not only Shinoda but also the 'War of the Roses' around the world caused by smartphones, called 'the black boxes of life', are introduced. You can find out the story of a man and woman who were humiliated by the disclosure of their secrets on their smartphones on MBC Every1's 'War of the Roses' at 8:30 pm on Monday, February 27th.
