Miss Universe Korea Hanna Kim possesses a couple of qualities that are similar to Miss Earth 2022 Mina Sue Choi. Their physical features are not far apart. They both stayed in the US, with this lady having been born in Los Angeles where grew up till she was 4, returned to Orange County back in 2010 and moved to New York five years later. Hence, she has a decent facility in English as spoken language. Personality-wise, they are just as relatively engaging.
So will ballet-dancing Hanna draw inspiration from Mina Sue the moment she starts competing in the 71st Miss Universe? I won’t mind if she does.

Will she be the first Miss Universe from Korea? So far the highest placement was in 1963 when Kim Myoung-ja placed 4th Runner-up, in 2007 when Lee Ha-nui placed 3rd Runner-up and in 1988 when Jang Yoon-jeong placed 1st Runner-up.
Miss Hanna Kim was Miss Queen Korea 2021 First Runner up and appointed to represent Korea in Miss Universe 2022. Let us wait and see what this beautiful Korean model, ballet dancer and English teacher will bring to the pageant and how she will convince the judges that she deserve to be the next Miss Universe.
Madame, 1) the 1963 was with (our) Lalaine Bennett & 2) the 1988 was the year Bui (Pornthip Nakhirunkhanok) won, no? Tama, po, ba?
(I got a Jennifer Pingree vibe… She got the BBP-International assignment & Gem Padilla went to MU, right?)
Tucayo, niya, ‘yun’g Korean clarinetist! ❤
Ba’t ganun ang order … iisa lang naman ang highest PLACEMENT; yung sa 1988.
Another potential ambassadress of K-beauty.
Kudos to Mina Sue Choi for winning one of the Alphas and the greatest pageant on Earth – Miss Earth.
I doubt Hannah Kim can even make it to the semis of Miss Universe though.
This year, I am looking at Vietnam, Italy and USA. No to Thailand chaka sya
Someone commented that most of the pageant pages predict Celeste as the winner and implied that she is the one to beat based on this predictions. Remember these are mostly Filipino-owned pages. Hannah Arnold?
I can see Celeste to reach top 10 though, better than Rabiya
