Miss Universe Korea 2023 predictions: Jeong Yunjeong, Lee Jina, Yang Sukyeong, Jang Seyeon, Kim Seoyoung

The Miss Universe Korea 2023 coronation ceremony will be held at Grand Walkerhill Seoul in Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea on August 27, 2023. It is the first edition of the national beauty pageant that selects South Korea’s Miss Universe candidate.

South Korea was represented in Miss Universe by the winner of Miss Korea from 1954 to 2015, the Miss Korea 2015 runner-up in 2016, a Miss Korea 2014 candidate in 2017 and the winner of Miss Queen Korea in 2018, 2019 and 2021. The country was represented in 2020 by the Miss Queen Korea 2019 runner-up and in 2022 by the Miss Queen Korea 2021 runner-up.

On September 29, 2021, Jisu Kim won Miss Queen Korea 2021 in a virtual studio using the Metaverse technology. Runner-up to Kim was Hanna Kim.

Currently, South Korea has eight Miss Universe placements including the first runner-up finish of Jang Yoon-jeong in 1988. The most recent one was in 2007 when Honey Lee was third runner-up.

There are 36 women competing for the Miss Universe Korea 2023 crown. I believe these five candidates will make it to the top:
