26.05.2026 ⇢ The Day the Giants Manager Resigned
⌨
The day was dominated by the fallout from the arrest of Yomiuri Giants manager Abe Shinnosuke for allegedly assaulting his 18-year-old daughter. In the morning, multiple outlets reported his arrest and subsequent release. By early afternoon, Abe resigned at a tearful press conference, apologizing for tarnishing the Giants' name. New details emerged: his daughter had consulted ChatGPT before contacting a child guidance center, sparking debate on AI's role in family matters. Meanwhile, the National Intelligence Council establishment bill passed a Diet committee, set to become law the next day. The government also proposed a refundable tax credit to address the 'income wall' and boost work incentives. North Korea launched a projectile into the Yellow Sea, and US forces struck Iranian military sites in self-defense, raising tensions.
