Miss Korea, is that you?

This can’t be the same person! After winning the crown of Miss Korea 2008, Nari is trying to do damage control by releasing normal pictures of herself looking her real age. If this is what 23 year old Yonsei student really looks like (albeit some major graphic alternations), then who is in the hell is the woman who snagged the title of Miss Korea?

BTW, please keep the sunglasses on.

  2. 2 lev August 9, 2008 at 2:51 am

    I think she looks a little better in these pictures. Or is that just me?

  3. 3 lev August 9, 2008 at 2:51 am

    ^ Darn it. –

  4. 4 kelly August 9, 2008 at 2:54 am

    I love how she had to use photoshop in the first pic to cover up some of her ugliness

  6. 6 peepoo August 9, 2008 at 3:02 am

    much cuter but still so plastic

  7. 7 peepoo August 9, 2008 at 3:03 am

    she actually looks like last years winner

  8. 8 8 August 9, 2008 at 3:07 am

    She’s looks just fine.
    kelly i think you meant sohee.

  9. 9 Kiwi August 9, 2008 at 3:08 am

    She might look a tad younger but her ugly face is still the same.

  10. 10 ANNY August 9, 2008 at 3:11 am

    That’s because she used photoshop in the first picture -_-

  11. 11 Eugene August 9, 2008 at 3:22 am

    ewwww:p

  12. 12 ummmm August 9, 2008 at 3:42 am

    Doesn’t look much better…She may be smart and all but a beauty pageant is a BEAUTY pageant! Ppl expect the winner to be beautiful not just ordinary….

  13. 13 rosetta16 August 9, 2008 at 3:57 am

    she loks good
    very pretty what happen in theother pics!!!!!

  14. 14 rosetta16 August 9, 2008 at 3:58 am

    ohh so thast how she won
    i was wondering that lol

  15. 15 Lana August 9, 2008 at 4:13 am

    That’s the same person. Just minus the big hair, is all.

    She needs the same makeup that Honey Lee uses. Heck, it took Honey from ordinary to beautiful, it could do the same for her!

  16. 16 Rayray August 9, 2008 at 4:25 am

    @ Ummm: Well not everyone feels the same. I’d rather see and ordinary (can be work on later) intelligent chick than someone who’s intelligence is the same level as a lobster taking the crown.

  17. 17 poo August 9, 2008 at 5:25 am

    i can see why they picked her. she’s very personable in her interviews, sounds intelligent with a great bearing that can be a politician (or his wife :P ) they went with “substance” this time, or what looks like it in a beauty pageant.

  18. 18 haj August 9, 2008 at 5:43 am

    i think she looks more charismatic (even without the glasses) than, say, the girls next to her or the other miss Korea contestants who look like the same, conservative Korean beauties…

  19. 19 Sandyy August 9, 2008 at 5:55 am

    Good luck to her, I know she isn’t exactly the best looking but she was obviously chosen for a reason

  20. 20 tiffa August 9, 2008 at 6:41 am

    I guess she was the smartest among all the girl participate in the pagent. lol

  21. 21 SP August 9, 2008 at 6:53 am

    I don’t care.

  22. 22 Sharurotto August 9, 2008 at 7:24 am

    “i love how she had to use photoshop…to cover up her ugliness”…………WOW….almost EVERY single so-called “ulzzang” picture has grainy texture or is in black and white or is washed out….hmmmmmmmmmmmm do i see a trend here????

  23. 23 xmerokox August 9, 2008 at 7:36 am

    lol, *everybody* looks good in selcas because the person has control over positioning themselves and the camera, plus you can take 20+ pictures and pick the best one. Then follow up in Photoshop with some color editing, leveling, and airbrushing. I know from personal experience.. >_>

    But I like her “normal” look so much better! Brains over “ideal” beauty!

  24. 24 valski August 9, 2008 at 8:15 am

    she looks like kim ok bin wearing the sunglasses. she’s a monet.

  25. 25 Taejus August 9, 2008 at 10:13 am

    ;who is in the hell in the hell…?;

    wait, i’m confused.

  26. 26 kang August 9, 2008 at 10:33 am

  30. 30 Ice Cream *drool* August 9, 2008 at 2:23 pm

  31. 31 miss.samm August 9, 2008 at 2:38 pm

  32. 32 Dovey August 9, 2008 at 3:31 pm

  33. 33 Dovey August 9, 2008 at 3:32 pm

  35. 35 jen August 9, 2008 at 6:36 pm

  36. 36 pandoracat August 9, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    she is not ugly..
    she is just average…
    to the people calling her UGLY,,,i wonder if u guys/girls look prettier…hmppph

  37. 37 anna August 9, 2008 at 8:22 pm

    I think she looks pretty.. average(ish). She’s probably not very photogenic. It’s strange, but some people actually look better in selca than in professional photos.

  38. 38 pandoracat August 9, 2008 at 8:56 pm

    now i wonder if popseoul is PRETTIER

  39. 39 HAHAHA August 10, 2008 at 1:22 am

    popseoul could’ve beaten her. this cannot be true.

  40. 40 Fleep♄ August 11, 2008 at 6:30 am

    her face looks like it came out of a jello mold

  41. 41 dudunk . August 11, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    haha .
    she’s like sohee wonder girls !!
    not too cute .

  42. 42 727 August 12, 2008 at 10:47 am

    Yeah, what’s with the crappy quality on the first pic. The other two looks good because she has glasses on. Without it…not so great. She’s aight, but not worth Ms. Korea or representing Korea. Just don’t embarass Korea by sending her to the Miss Universe competetion…everyone is going to think the same as we are…doesn’t matter about brains at this point.

  43. 43 danseuse2010 November 4, 2008 at 11:31 am

    She looks better with hair covering the sides of her face.

    In the pageant, you can see the shape of her face, and she resembles Fiona or Shrek.

    Still, she looks much older than her 23 years…

    I blame no one BUT the JUDGES!
