Miss Japan Entangled in Scandal with Married Doctor

"At 15, I was scouted and began my modeling journey. In 2020, I won the 'Best Body Japan' contest, which focuses on the beauty of a healthy physique. I'm one of the models currently being promoted with the tagline 'The Miracle Beauty from Ukraine'," said an advertising agency representative.

Her latest achievement is winning the prestigious 56th Miss Japan pageant. Upon hearing her name called, she tearfully delivered a speech. "I've always lived as a Japanese, but often felt unaccepted due to racial barriers. Being recognized as a Japanese in this contest fills me with gratitude."

However, Shiino's personal life has recently drawn attention. According to industry insiders, "Carolina is dating a doctor in his 40s, a famous physician affiliated with an entertainment agency and an author. Initially, their relationship was casual, but it grew intimate over time."

The romance, though seemingly joyful, comes with its complications - the doctor is reported to be married with children.

The full details of this relationship, including hand-holding date photos, the identity of the doctor, and Shiino's explanation, will be featured in the February 8th, 2024 issue of "Shukan Bunshun".
