24 YEAR-OLD CHINESE POP STAR DATES 12 YEAR OLD MODEL

 A 24-year-old Chinese pop star, Zhang Muyi has caused controversy after publicly declaring his love for a baby-faced model, Akama Miki, who is just 12-years-old, half is age.

Despite the fact that Canada-based Akama Miki is not yet in her teens, the pair have exchanged romantic messages on Sina Weibo, a Chinese social networking site. Shortly after she turned 12 Miki, wrote on the pop star's page:

 'Wait until I'm old enough to marry you, and then I'm going to say "I do".

 Muyi replied; 'I simply can't wait for these next four birthdays of yours to pass, I'm counting down each one.' Responding to criticisms, Muyi wrote; 'There's nothing we can do about this, nor do we feel the need to prove anything to these people. 'All we can do is continue to persevere with our love, our life, and being together.' 

They met when Muyi was hired as the model's music coach when she was eight-years-old. 

This is just ridiculous. If this was your daughter, what will you do? See more pictures of them together after the cut...
