Justin Bieber’s Japan Photo On Twitter A Jinx! Koreans Offended Over Apology, ‘Baby’ Singer Detained Upon Return From Asia

Justin Bieber's Japan visit has proven to be a jinx after his Twitter photo caused quite a diplomatic row with three countries and offending Korea with his apology. Thereafter, the "Baby" singer was detained upon return from Asia.

The controversy stemmed from Justin Bieber's Twitter photo post of his visit to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which was erected to honor the 2.5 million dead Japanese during World War II but is seen as an affront by both Korea and China for its own citizens who died and raped at the hands of the Japan during the occupation.

Justin's Bieber's Twitter apology afterwards only served to fuel the hate some more as he omitted the South Koreans from the mea culpa, said Business Week.

The apology after Justin Bieber's Japan war shrine visit read: "While in Japan I asked my driver to pull over for which I saw a beautiful shrine. I was mislead to think the Shrines were only a place of prayer. To anyone I have offended I am extremely sorry. I love you China and I love you Japan."

Justin Bieber's Twitter blunder seems very real enough that it warranted a comment from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, according to the Wall Street Journal China.

Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang told a press briefing Wednesday that he didn't know the political leanings of "the so-called Canadian famous singer" and the circumstances behind Justin Bieber's Japan shrine visit.

"But China's position on the Yasukuni shrine is clear-cut. We are firmly opposed to the Japanese leaders' visit to the Yasukuni shrine, where World War II second-class criminals are honored," he said.

Meanwhile, after Justin Bieber's Japan visit, the troubled teen was detained for about an hour at the LAX by U.S. Customs on Thursday, according to NY Daily News

The grilling, however, is considered routine for passengers with pending criminal cases, the publication reported.
