Remember when the Chit Chat of Global Beauties Panelist Akiba Rie angered some Korean netizens through her comments about Dokdo Island? Well, Rie finally apologized for her actions. For those that don't know much about Dokdo, basically Dokdo is a small group of islands in between South Korea and Japan. Both South Korea and Japan have claimed sovereignty over Dokdo and it's a very sensitive issue in Korea and Japan. There's much heated contention and debate between the two nations over Dokdo. This Japanese talent explained in a recent interview:

"During the interview, back then the concept was to hear what younger Japanese generations thought. At first they asked about marriage and relationships and then all of a sudden the question of Dokdo came up. I just answered according to what I had heard in Japan. Since I'm not an expert on the issue, I also revealed that I didn't know. This wasn't my intentions but after the interview I was very flustered. In reality, there aren't that many young Japanese people who have an interest in Dokdo."
