The extremely short skirt was the center of attention, causing people to call the outfit “perverted” as well as a “national disgrace” that “mocked Japanese culture.”

Originally, the skirt was longer, but it was modified shortly before the press conference as a last-minute decision.

She received a lot of hate comments on the look, with many people saying it looks like an outfit for a “porn star or prostitute.”
