'Cheonghak-dong teacher' Kim Bong-gon's daughter and singer Kim Da-hyun's older sister, Jin Sori (real name Kim Dohyun), placed in a beauty contest.
On the 30th of last month, Jin Sori won the honor of being chosen as Chunhyang at the final Chunhyang stage among the winners of jin·sun·mi·jeong·suk·hyun at the '96th Chunhyang Festival global Chunhyang selection contest' held at the Gwanghwanluwon main performance hall in Namwon.
Of about 300 preliminary Chunhyang applicants, 36 advanced to the finals as Chunhyang candidates after two strict preliminaries, and the finalists were selected as the final Chunhyang through 12 days of training camp and final-stage performances.
Competing as candidate No. 4, Jin Sori performed the 'Sarangga' from the pansori 'Chunhyangga' as a solo competition piece, receiving a positive response, and said she was born in Cheonghak-dong, majored in pansori from age four, performed as the main vocalist of a fusion girl group for five years, and is currently active as a solo singer.
Saying she understands Chunhyang better than anyone, Jin Sori, selected as '2026 Miss Chunhyang jeong,' said she would become a global Chunhyang, Kim Dohyun, who conveys the stories of Namwon and Chunhyang to the world with movements and sounds that encompass tradition and modernity.
