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.
