Minami Hoshino is a Japanese former idol, known as a 1st generation member of Nogizaka46. She joined the group in 2011 at a young age and became known for her soft, cute image and relaxed personality, which made her a distinctive presence within Nogizaka46. Hoshino was active in singles, concerts, and variety shows throughout the group’s rise to popularity, occasionally being selected for prominent positions in performances. She maintained a steady presence rather than consistently occupying center roles, and was appreciated for her unique charm and natural demeanor. In 2021, she was involved in a widely reported controversy after a tabloid revealed she had a relationship with a man outside the industry and had missed work commitments, which led to public criticism. She later acknowledged the situation and reduced her activities. Hoshino graduated from Nogizaka46 in 2022. Since then, she has largely stepped away from the entertainment industry and public life.
