Popular American-Japanese model and actress Kiko Mizuhara has posted an apology video on the Chinese social media platform Weibo after being accused online of stoking anti-Chinese sentiment.
Mizuhara, 25, star of the Chinese romantic comedy "No Other Love," which was directed by Chinese actress Zhao Wei, issued the apology on Friday in response to an online uproar over two controversial photos.
In one photo, a woman said to be Mizuhara is seen visiting Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan's war dead, including convicted Class-A war criminals. In the other, she is allegedly posing in front of Japan's Rising Sun flag, a symbol of the country's militarist past.
