Ukraine-born Japanese beauty pageant winner relinquishes title over affair with married man

Ukraine-born Japanese beauty pageant winner Karolina Shiino relinquished her title after a tabloid reported her alleged affair with a married man.

Shiino, 26, received the title two weeks in the past.

Her heritage sparked off debate with some claiming she didn’t signify conventional Japanese beauty beliefs.

The article within the Shukan Bunshun reported that Shiino had engaged in a relationship with a married influencer and physician. The man has not supplied any public remark, reported BBC.

According to studies, the Miss Japan Association initially defended Shiino and mentioned she didn’t know the man was married.

The organisation mentioned she had confessed the event.

She had apologised for being deceptive and organisers had accepted her title resignation, the Miss Japan Association mentioned as quoted by BBC.

What will occur to the title now?

The title will stay vacant for a whole 12 months now.
