Actress Clara received the popularity award at the 30th Tokyo International Film Festival’s Gold Crane Awards Thursday.

Clara has recently starred as Korean model Yoyo in “Some Like It Hot,” a Chinese rom-com released last year.

The film, directed by Song Xiaofei and Dong Xu stars Chinese actor Xiao Yang as Xiao Han, an anxious and bored man who decides to make himself feel young and vibrant again by chasing after Yoyo.

The film topped box offices in China.

Clara, whose real name is Lee Seong-min, is a 32-year-old Swiss-born British national actress.
