Korean Grandmother Aims to Stun the World at Miss Universe

Seoul, South Korea – Choi Eun-sook, an 80-year-old grandmother, is set to make history as she competes in the Miss Universe Korea pageant. Earlier this month, she was announced as a finalist in the annual competition, which will take place on Monday.

Choi, who hopes to represent South Korea at the Miss Universe final in Mexico this November, is determined to challenge age stereotypes. "I want to stun the world," she told, "and show that we can live healthily even when we get old."

The Miss Universe Organization recently lifted its upper age limit for contestants, allowing women of all ages to participate. This change comes in response to growing calls for modernization and inclusivity in the pageant world.

Choi's participation in Miss Universe Korea marks a significant milestone. If she wins and advances to the international competition, she would become the oldest contestant in Miss Universe history.

Beyond her age, Choi is also breaking barriers by participating in a pageant that has traditionally focused on physical beauty. The organizers of Miss Universe Korea have announced that this year's competition will prioritize both inner and outer beauty, with a focus on talent and personality.

As Choi prepares for the pageant, she is determined to inspire others to pursue their dreams, regardless of age. She hopes her participation will encourage more women to challenge societal expectations and embrace their individuality.
