The official ** of the Japanese beauty contest "Miss Japan" was updated on the 5th, announcing that the Ukrainian model Karolena Shiino, who previously won the title of "Miss Japan 2024", voluntarily gave up this honor. The reason is that she knowingly dated a married man, and after being *** by Japan, she admitted her mistake.
Intimate appointments with married doctors
Karolena Shiino, a 33-year-old model of Ukrainian origin whose parents are both Ukrainians, grew up in Japan and has Japanese citizenship. In the "Miss Japan" beauty contest held on January 22, she won the crown with her tall figure and beautiful appearance, winning the crown by the judges and the audience.
However, shortly after she won the title of "Miss Japan", the Japanese magazine "Weekly Bunchun" broke the news on January 31 that Karolena Shiino was photographed intimately dating a married man. According to Weekly Wenchun, citing people familiar with the matter, "Carolina is in a relationship with a doctor in her 40s. The other party has published a book and is a famous doctor affiliated with an entertainment studio. At first, they just ate together, but the relationship grew closer, and [Carolina] invited the man to the house. ”
Although "Weekly Wenchun" did not disclose the name of the married man who dated Carolina, some netizens speculated based on clues that he may be Takuma Maeda, an Internet celebrity beauty doctor known as "muscle doctor". Takuma Maeda is a well-known doctor who has published several books, is also an entertainer under the umbrella of an entertainment studio, and has appeared on several television shows. He issued a statement on January 31 in which he admitted that he "approached Carolina under the guise of being married" and apologized to the concerned parties for the incident.
Admit your mistake and give up the title
After learning of the news, Karolena's acting agency and the "Miss Japan" beauty pageant association initially said that "I don't think it's Carolina's fault" and "there is no destruction of the marriage." However, after reconfirming with Karolena Shiino, it was found that the factual situation was inconsistent with the previously released information.
The performing arts agency issued a statement on the 5th, saying, "It is very regrettable that when Karolena Shiino was dating each other, the man claimed to be 'divorced'." However, despite knowing that the other party is still in a married relationship during the relationship, Karolena Shiino continues to date the other party. ”
The agency also said that the reason for the inconsistency in Shiino's statement was that she said that she panicked after being exposed, "because she was afraid that she could not tell the truth", "but she thought that if she continued to lie, she would cause trouble for many people, so she admitted the above situation".
According to the report, Karolena Shiino has applied to the office and the association to dissolve her affiliation and give up the title of "Miss Japan" respectively, which have been accepted. Karolena Shiino also apologized to the parties involved in a statement.
Cause controversy
The news that Karolena Shiino was elected "Miss Japan" has previously caused controversy on the Japanese Internet. Some netizens broke the news that unlike Karolena Shiino's "personality" during the competition, her mother came to Japan through a "fake marriage", and her Japanese is very poor. Some netizens said that this year's "Miss Japan" only values appearance and political topicality, and called for the end of the beauty pageant "this outdated product".
Karolena Shiino said in an interview with Japan** that she hopes that through her own efforts, more people can understand Ukrainian culture and customs, and she also hopes to contribute to the friendly relations between Japan and Ukraine. However, this wish of hers now seems to have been dashed.
