Jung So-ra: South Korea's bet to Miss Universe 2011

Jung So-ra was crowned Miss Korea 2010 last July 25, 2010 and earned the right to represent South Korea in Miss Universe 2011. But that was 11 months ago and this pretty Asian has had more than enough time to train and polish for the pageant. Even before she packs her numerous luggages for Sao Paolo, Brazil, she will have already spent one full year of preparation. Will her patience be rewarded in due time?

This 20 year-old, who stands 1.71m, is a multi-linguist. She can speak Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and English. It’s a pity she did not master Portuguese because that would have come in handy when she begins her conquest for the Miss Universe crown. But I’m sure she took some lessons in the same and could speak more than the required “Obrigado!” (Thank You!) or “Bom Dia!” (Good Day!)

Once she arrives in South America before mid-August, So-ra will join a bevy of strong candidates from the Asian region to try and pin down another victory that would equal Riyo Mori’s in 2007. Will she stand out? We’ll see. 😉
