Bye bye Miss Korea runner-up

20080812_kimheekyung2

Now she can go back to modeling.

The title of the second runner up of the 2008 Miss Korea was snatched away from Kim Hee-kyung after pictures of the scantily-clad beauty contestant surfaced on the internet. The former underwear and nude model protested the decision by the Miss Korea Pageant committee by pointing out that the judges were already aware of the revealing pictures!

Now, if only we can uncover some dirt on the current Miss Korea, Nari, then just maybe, Korea will have a chance at next years Miss Universe.

    she’s better than the title winner but she had a dark past..hehe! ;p

    Thats such a shame. I feel sorry for her. Its sad how these photos from her past have come back to haunt her like this…

  4. 4 Sunny August 12, 2008 at 8:48 pm

    If the judges already knew, why would they let her compete in the first place? I’m kind of siding with her on this one.

    Whats wrong with those other pictures? So there nude pictures or whatever but doesn’t at least half of the models pose nudes for a photo shoot?

    I agree with Sunny

    if u r pretty enough…why don’t u try to use ur beuaty to other stuff/job…she’ve just wasted everything.

  7. 7 mr_asstight August 12, 2008 at 9:57 pm

    She looks like a man.

  8. 8 Nozomi August 12, 2008 at 9:57 pm

    I think because the judges knew thats why they gave her runner up i’m thinking she probably would have been the winner if it wasn’t for the pictures.

    tsk tsk…so sad

  10. 10 HAHAHA August 12, 2008 at 11:16 pm

    this is why you have to be a good person all the time cuz you never know what’ll happen in the future. you can’t dirty up your image like that and expect rewards. anyway she was too ugly to be miss runner up

  11. 11 Mel August 12, 2008 at 11:22 pm

    That’s what I call Bad Luck :( She was prettier than Nari :(

  12. 12 siwon-sshi August 12, 2008 at 11:38 pm

    she’s waaaay better than nari…
    but if she’s the miss korea, then nari is the runner up, 4 sure nari will be the new miss korea..
    ugh, y NARI???

  13. 13 SP August 12, 2008 at 11:41 pm

    Let’s stop being so superficial here! hahah

  14. 14 Liz August 13, 2008 at 12:21 am

    Think about the message that would be sent if she was allowed to keep her position.

  15. 15 hay hay August 13, 2008 at 12:23 am

    The whole concept of Miss Universe is just as ridiculous as Mr. Universe.

  16. 16 R. Kelly August 13, 2008 at 12:51 am

    I agree, but it’s still pretty annoying how the judges are acting all shocked when they knew all along. Seems like it’s just a way for them to save face.

  17. 17 starz12 August 13, 2008 at 1:43 am

    she is way prettier than Miss Korea 2008. too bad for her. then why did she enter miss korea anyway if she has this little secret of hers. she should’ve hide her past really well if she wanted to win.

  18. 18 -_- August 13, 2008 at 3:39 am

    she’s ugly just like miss korea 2008. what’s wrong with korea these days? they picked such awful winners. i can’t believe she posed for those pictures. yuck.

  19. 19 asianromance August 13, 2008 at 4:52 am

    so she was an underwear model- big deal. it was not like she starred in some sort of porn movies or did drugs. i don’t think she would have entered the pageant if she thought the judges would fling her past right back at her. i bet the judges knew about the past, told her it was ok, and then due to outside pressure, rescinded their word.

  20. 20 Lana August 13, 2008 at 4:58 am

    I’m sorry, but she doesn’t look any better than the winner, with her extra long horse face.

    What does the 2nd runner up look like?

  21. 21 Balla August 13, 2008 at 5:24 am

    DAMn she looks Better dan NAri

  22. 22 ohgeeze. August 13, 2008 at 6:47 am

    Oh my god.
    She actually looks prettier than the actual Miss Korea.
    Wtf.
    Well, why would you even enter the pageant knowing you did all that ish in the past.

  23. 23 jake August 13, 2008 at 7:51 am

    she’s got that “damn, i’m gonna regret doing this..” look on her face.

  24. 24 TVXQLOVE August 13, 2008 at 8:25 am

    Miss Korea and Miss Korea runner-up are both ugly, no chance in Miss Universe. One is fat, and one is trash (well for beauty pageants).

  25. 25 e August 13, 2008 at 8:38 am

    she reminds me of them ahn-ma-shi-sol chicks near the bus terminal in seoul.

  26. 26 leah August 13, 2008 at 9:00 am

    Let me get this straight. So the judges were fully aware of her posing underwear/nude modelling yet she was allowed to enter the Miss. Korea competition? Tsk. I agree with R. Kelly that the judges were saving face.

    I must say, that some of the people finger pointing at Kim Hee Kyung, better point at themselves first lest they have skeletons in their closet. No one’s perfect.

    And another thing…so what if she showed her nude figure? The human body is nothing to be ashamed of.

  27. 27 Megan August 13, 2008 at 9:09 am

    She looks the exact same as Miss Korea and the previous Miss Korea runner up

  28. 28 zero2303 August 13, 2008 at 9:55 am

    At least we know that S.Korea had doomed themself into never making it to the Ms Universe final 2009 for sure with the choice of winners they had chosen.ha..ha..

  29. 29 Taejus August 13, 2008 at 2:07 pm

    We definitely needs some dirt on Nari.

  30. 30 englishera August 13, 2008 at 2:08 pm

    i prefer people like her: who change for the better compared to other title holders who go bold or sexy after winning (and passing) the crown….

    examples? you know who they are….

    we often judge other people by what they used to be but not to who and what they are now….

  31. 31 irees August 13, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    Ugh. Dude, whatever. We all know that most of these “beauty queens” are actually sluts. No need to kick this girl out.

    To think that Nari could’ve accidentally tripped and hurt herself or got sick badly, causing the runner-up to take her place and maybe heighten the Korean pride for beauty.

  32. 32 evvy August 13, 2008 at 4:21 pm

    If the judges were already aware of this, how come they let her compete? Although I definitely do not support women who take pleasure in posing naked for all the world to see, the woman is in the right here.

  33. 33 TINA August 13, 2008 at 4:23 pm

    theyre nude MODELING pictures.. its not like she shot porno or something. god get over it. making a big deal out of nothing

  34. 34 Jen August 13, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    I loved what Englishera said.
    <3

  35. 35 han August 13, 2008 at 11:45 pm

    I agree with others she’s much better looking than miss korean ( she’s a lingerie model no shiet) ah well what a shame

  36. 36 Aileen August 14, 2008 at 3:31 am

    omg everyone shud stop making a big deal about it the past is past u kno shes kinda changed shes not doin those kinds of photos anymore geez shes trying to create a new image for herself stop freakin bringing people down it was her dicision to do it even if others don’t like it every1 just needs to stop judging so much just give her a chance

  37. 37 kagandahan August 16, 2008 at 1:37 am

    that’s just hilarious popseoul! :D

  38. 38 justme August 16, 2008 at 3:23 am

    I think it’s highly unfair and she should have been allowed to keep her crown. if the judges already knew, then what’s the effing problem. you mean if someone modelled underwear before, they can never be miss korea or beauty queen? sheer rubbish!

  39. 39 hhj August 23, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    look wise, she looks better o_o

  40. 40 t.o.p lovaa97 September 23, 2008 at 10:58 am

    SHE IS MISS KOREA SHE IS NOT THAT PRETTY THERE IS MUCH MORE PRETTY GIRLS IN THIS WORLD

  41. 41 danseuse2010 November 4, 2008 at 11:18 am

    She’s hotter than Na-Ri!

    Geesh, only if the MKO knew how many lingerie/nude models from Central and Eastern Europe were Miss Universe contestants (Czech Republic, France, Kosovo, Russia, etc)!

    I think Na-Ri (or her family) has major connections…
