i call BS, he and ZOC literally have no contact until just a few weeks ago
this seems like a publicity stunt from Watanabe and Seiko Oomori, the "i'm secretly dating a member of a group" is one of Watanabe's favorite (and dumbest) pranks, he has pulled this several times with Pour Lui (BiS1) Coco (GTTB), Toggy (BiS3), he goes in "dates" and gets caught or "accidentally" post pictures in private and then puts a statement admitting they are dating
i feel bad for Maro, she is a nice girl that keeps getting pushed around by her asshole boss, a few weeks ago a tape was leaked of her crying while getting verbally and physically abused by Seiko
Seiko Oomori Bullies and Beats Fellow ZOC Member Kannagi Maro in Shocking Audio Clip | ARAMA! JAPAN
A shocking audio clip has surfaced online! In the clip, one woman can be heard yelling at another, who replies to her in a frightened manner, in between cries. The angry woman then starts to physically attack the other. It appears that the two women in the audio clip are ZOC members Oomori Seiko...

Seiko is not only is a member of ZOC but also the owner of the company so it was a boss attacking one of the employees, Seiko then put a statement saying how it was just a misunderstanding, that it was the first time that it ever happened, etc basically a bunch of lies
and now Maro is being force to play the role of Watanabe's mistress, i wish someone help her get away from ZOC, such a shitty and toxic work place
also i don't buy that Watanabe is getting divorced, we know his wife works at Wack and for whatever reason she is fine with his behavior, she probably is in too, also Watanabe is huge asshole that boast about going to strip clubs while being married and other shit like that, i don't think he cares about his reputation
Watanabe x Seiko is truly the unholy alliance of idol

Both are chaotic, but I'm of the belief that only one is evil.
For what it's worth, fan reactions to their statements have been complete opposites: Maro's fans are telling her it will be okay and they just want her to be happy and that she's worked so hard to get where she is, and Jun's responses are... memes.
Now, as someone who has followed Maro since her early idol days, I know that she, too, is extremely chaotic (just more on the side of good), so I wouldn't put it past her neither to be a part of a prank not to actually be dating him. Still, the last few years have been hell for her so I want her to catch a break in any case.
the relationship between Watanabe and Seiko reminds me of the one he had with Pour Lui (founder of BiS), while they weren't exactly angels on their own when the two were together horrible stuff would happen, people would get mad and the media would get involved
poor souls, they still believe things are going to be fine
i don't know if it was on purpose or not but i love that you avoided using the words "fans" for Watanabe
also are you sure those are just mere memes? the hate for him is unironic
the thing is he has played the illicit affair card too many times, is hard to believe that this one is for real
unfortunately other than the incident with Seiko i don't know much about Maro or ZOC but i can't image someone actually getting to know Watanabe and thinking that he is the one
doesn't help that the BiS x ZOC single goes out next week, so for now i choose to believe this is just a publicity stunt
...and at least it wasn't with one of the Wack members! that's a small victory (i guess)

Fans is a very strong word for the people who interact with Watanabe
The only thing here that's a tad more convincing is that Bunshun is also reporting that the two were seen coming and going from the same apartment building for several consecutive days, which tends to be a lot more damning in terms of revealing relationships. To the best that I am aware he has never gone that far in his previous stunts, but I'm not 100% convinced in either direction, still.
Honestly, though, as someone who is very familiar with Maro (I translated her blog for several years when she was in Hello!Project) and the way she thinks, I actually don't think this is the worst match I've ever seen. She is a little more fragile than she gives off, between her deep confidence issues stemming from her idol career and her dad passing away, so I do worry about her, but if I'm being completely frank, I wouldn't be too upset if this turned out to be real. But us Maro fans are weirdos, so
he loves pulling unnecessarily complex and morally questionable stunts just some examplesFans is a very strong word for the people who interact with Watanabe

- set up an audition show with judges, journalists, etc then told the participants that they killed his love for music and walked away
- started the BiS league inspired by ABK48... then dissolve it because he dislikes the AKB system
Watanabe had a field day with it, he couldn't stop making a big deal about it
he even released a music video reenacting the party
and much more but that's how far i'm willing to unwrap my repressed memories about him right now
reading that i feel bad about Maro, i don't want to play armchair psychologist but Seiko and Watanabe do have strong personalities and both are figures of authority, they can also be charismatic, that may be the reason why she looks up to themShe is a little more fragile than she gives off, between her deep confidence issues stemming from her idol career and her dad passing away, so I do worry about her, but if I'm being completely frank, I wouldn't be too upset if this turned out to be real.

...i'm going to try not think much about it
for once i'm just glad that this isn't directly related to one of the Wack groups
