Ukraine-born Miss Japan winner relinquishes crown following affair
Ukraine-born Miss Japan winner relinquishes crown following affair
The controversial Ukraine-born model has resigned after a report on her relations with a married man.
The Ukraine-born winner of the Miss Japan beauty pageant has given up her crown after a tabloid report revealed her affair with a married man.
Karolina Shiino, 26, was crowned Miss Japan two weeks ago but her win sparked public debate due to her heritage.
While some welcomed the naturalised citizen's crowning, others said she didn't represent traditional Japanese beauty ideals.
Amid the furore, a local magazine published an expose alleging an affair.
The article in the Shukan Bunshun reported that Ms Shiino had engaged in a relationship with a married influencer and doctor. The man has not provided any public comment.
I don’t really get any an affair would matter after the fact for what is essentially a popularity contest, but… sure I guess?
Participants can‘t even be married so it‘s probably quite big of a deal to them. And that might be shocking to some, but in many aspects the oh so praised Japanese culture is really lacking behind the west in many aspects.
Who is praising Japanese culture? Off to the reeducation camps with them!
Because the miss thing is supposed to represent the epitome of Japanese women on the international stage and having an affair is bad PR.
Why do people still pay attention to this weird beauty contest bullshit? Why is it news? How is it still a thing?
Downvote the post (which has no place in WorldNews) and move on.
Or comment.
Wow. People don't have enough problems as it is, they have time to care who people fuck?
I mean, you're talking about the people who care about beauty pageants.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Ukraine-born winner of the Miss Japan beauty pageant has given up her crown after a tabloid report revealed her affair with a married man.
Karolina Shiino, 26, was crowned Miss Japan two weeks ago but her win sparked public debate due to her heritage.
While some welcomed the naturalised citizen's crowning, others said she didn't represent traditional Japanese beauty ideals.
The article in the Shukan Bunshun reported that Ms Shiino had engaged in a relationship with a married influencer and doctor.
In its initial response to the report last week, the pageant organisers defended Ms Shiino, saying she hadn't known the man was married.
Ms Shiino also apologised to her fans and the general public in a statement on Monday, where she said she had acted out of fear and panic in response to the report.
The original article contains 320 words, the summary contains 137 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
That can’t possibly be the prettiest woman in Japan.
My thoughts exactly.
This must be rigged.
Is it just me... or is she like, not attractive?
On the thumbnail she looks like a blobfish but that's just how the picture is taken. There is another one in the article where she looks much better.
Is it just me... or is that like, entirely irrelevant and frankly rude?
I remembered that Japan adheres to the jus soli system, meaning that every person born in Japan must indirectly be a Japanese citizen.
But in the end if she born in Ukraine she's not japanese citizenJus soli would mean that every person born in Japan would directly be a Japanese citizen, but not that citizenship can't be acquired through other means as well.
Japan does not grant citizenship to those born here. There are multiple ways to acquire Japanese citizenship, most of which are based on the most recent couple generations of parents/grandparents. Multiple citizenship technically isn't allowed, either. Anyone naturalizing to Japanese citizenship must relinquish their existing citizenship(s) unless the other country does not allow relinquishing. If found out, the Japanese government can take action to revoke citizenship (or at least parts of it; there are actually court cases about this).
