Even after leaving the “hot girl” industry, Yua Mikami remains a major draw for online fans.
But instead of focusing on entertainment projects, the 1993-born star recently became the center of online debate after revealing her criteria for a life partner, especially her annual income requirement, which sparked intense controversy.
Specifically, on a TV show, Yua Mikami openly shared that she wants her future partner to earn at least 30 million yen a year (over 5 billion VND).
She emphasized this is just the minimum, which surprised many viewers. Her statement quickly spread across social media, drawing mixed reactions. Some think her demand is too high, unrealistic, and puts pressure on men, while others defend her right to set standards that fit her status and situation.
Facing growing debate, Yua Mikami clarified her stance on social media. She stressed she doesn’t rely financially on men. For her, the key isn’t the income number but whether the person has the ability, confidence, and trustworthiness to be a solid emotional support. She wants someone she can respect and feel secure with.
She also admitted she’s never had a part-time job and isn’t familiar with average incomes in society. But given her background and lifestyle, setting certain standards feels natural. Yua Mikami made it clear she doesn’t want to date men who are financially dependent on others, and revealed her dream partner could even earn up to 100 million yen a year.
Beyond income, Yua Mikami caught attention when discussing dating fans. She said it’s not impossible but acknowledged it’s hard to cross the line between idol and fan. For her, longtime supporters who attend events are loyal fans first and not really dating material. In the past, some fans approached her with personal motives, but she always declined.
While her comments about partner criteria remain controversial, there’s no denying Yua Mikami is living true to her beliefs and choices. Since retiring, she continues to work hard in entertainment, build her personal brand, and maintain a strong social media presence.
