There is a new Miss Korea and 2019 has crowned Kim Se Yeon as the Jin, of the Jin Seon Mi 1-2-3 titling of the Miss Korea winners. I’m less interested in yet another Miss Korea though this one doesn’t look cookie cutter and has shades of Honey Lee so me likey her more than the last few years. What makes this year’s pageant interesting is that it got rid of the swimsuit portion but then replaced it with a sexy fusion hanbok portion that was honestly ridiculous. Either stick with swimsuits for the sex appeal or parade the ladies around in proper gorgeous hanboks all covered up for the old-fashioned ladylike appeal. What do you guys think? Yay or nay?

I like the concept- fashion is supposed to be fluid and changing, it would get boring if every Miss Korea pageant had the same clothes all the time. Some of the looks are quite nice and I could see them being elevated/adjusted in a designer collection.
A few of them are OK but most of the fusion hanbok do not look flattering. I agree with you, they look ridiculous. And please call it something else, not hanbok.
They kind of look like Joseon lingerie. (if Joseon had had lingerie.) It's weird.
I can't bear to say it's similar to traditional Korean clothes, because I'm sure all traditional clothes have values, symbols and philosophies for their country, not just just beautiful clothes when they are used so they forget there is ethics when wearing those clothes. and whoever the winner is, I hope she also represents Koreans
Lols, sorry, no offense, but those hanbok, aigoo, the women from good family wont wear it lmao... i think of them as... you know, someone who works at a house full of women and men coming for fun... no offense. But why cant they make a proper hanbok so world will know more about it, just like kimono from japan.
And ps : i forget to tell that the winner's father is currently having a case. Im not sure whether he's already in jail or not... so, the mixed reactions are also coming from this.
Poor gal is gonna have a hard time.
People are really bashing her because her father is someone famous who beat some kids. I think it’s unfair how it’s somehow your fault that your dad, mom, brother or grandmother did something horrible. Like come on, it’s the 21st century, people are responsible for their actions.
Dont forget there mixed reaction because she holds American passport so basically she shouldnt win the contest..
What if she has dual citizenship? At this point they just want to hate her because they want to hate her
It looks like they are auditioning for a Joseon R19 movie.
Those hanboks look like cheap lingerie.
It may not work if her aim is to be miss universe or miss world which ultimately is the dream.
ughhh :/ it looks more like a cheap copy or tried-but-failed at copying some english brand name lingeries...
Last year's winner was anything but "cookie cutter", especially for Korean beauty contest winners.
youtube.com/watch?v=ygVxTTKWvdA is well worth checking out, and I say that as someone who is no fan of beauty pageants in general or Miss Korea specifically (except the MBC version starring Lee Yeon Hee)
