Mixed-race (or “half”) Japanese models are often chosen because their image isn’t as strong and powerful as foreigners’ but not as soft/natural as Japanese models’.
And generally, Japanese people tend to prefer half-Japanese faces.
While using foreigner models can give a very cool and high-end image, sometimes they lack friendliness.
In such cases, mixed race models are the most likely to be used.
Also, recently Korean stars became popular not only in Japan but globally as well, so there is a growing demand for Korean-like features in the industry.
