U Ji-won's daughter Woo Seo-yoon, who was crowned Miss Korea Jin (眞), has been embroiled in a plastic surgery controversy, and an interview she gave after winning the crown is receiving attention.
On the 28th, the Miss Korea official SNS posted a video with the caption "the story that now begins. Miss Korea Jin Woo Seo-yoon."
In the video, Woo Seo-yoon is shown being interviewed after being crowned Jin. As the person who came to mind most, she said, "First of all, of course, my parents were the first to come to mind. Also, my fellow contestants, with whom I trained and stayed together and developed so much camaraderie, came to mind a lot. I am happy, but other contestants may feel a lot of disappointment, so I thought about that a lot."
Regarding her charm point, she said, "I think my charm point is my somewhat unexpected personality. Although I couldn't show it on this stage, during the judging process I talked one-on-one with the judges and thought, 'Wouldn't they think my personality is better than expected?'"
Regarding the influence she wants to exert as Miss Korea Jin, she said, "I have been very interested in social issues since I was young. I have done donation campaigns and many other activities, so I want to show influence in that area. Because so many people have shown interest, I want to use that to raise my voice and draw attention to more issues."
Finally, to her fans she expressed gratitude, saying, "Many people have never seen me in person, but I am truly very thankful that you have supported me from afar and shown so much interest in me."
Although Woo Seo-yoon became Miss Korea "Jin," she immediately faced criticism as plastic surgery suspicions surfaced. After the results were announced, netizens' plastic surgery controversy spread, with some mocking that it was not a "Miss Korea" contest but a "plastic surgery beauty" contest.
Footage of her youthful appearance when she appeared on the tvN entertainment show "Escape the Nest 3" at age 16 was reexamined, and the striking, glamorous facial features she has now sparked suspicions that they are the result of cosmetic surgery.
Responses ranged from criticism asking whether it is appropriate for someone who underwent plastic surgery to be crowned Jin to sympathetic remarks that it is a harsh standard to summon a celebrity's childhood photos simply because she is a famous person's daughter and won Miss Korea.
