Choi Sun-hwa, a 80-year-old granny who still looks hot, didn’t win the Miss Universe South Korea crown, but took home the Best Dressed award instead.
Last night, 80-year-old Choi Sun-hwa erased the insults and fulfilled her dream of becoming the Miss Universe Korea. She participated in every activity on stage, from walking in various outfits to singing with 31 other beauties in the final round of Miss Universe Korea 2024 held at a hotel in Seoul, South Korea. Although she did not win the crown on stage, she did not go home empty-handed. She received the Best Dressed award with dignity in a princess-like white evening gown.
This year’s crowned beauty queen is 22-year-old fashion student Han Ariel, who will travel to Mexico City to represent her country at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant in November.
Choi told The Associated Press hours before her appearance on stage that despite her age, she still dares to take chances and face challenges. She wants everyone to look at her and realize that everyone can live a healthy life and find what makes them happy and what they want to do, and to go after it and challenge themselves to make their dreams come true.
This year marks the first year that the Miss Universe pageant has changed its rules, eliminating the age limit for applicants. Previously, applicants were only 18-28 years old, in an attempt to change the image of the beauty pageant to be more modern and diverse. In addition, this year’s pageant has also abolished the requirement to wear a swimsuit and has abolished qualifications related to education level, height, and foreign language ability, in order to open it up to all women.
