What happened? Miss Korea 200, Nari looks actually cute in the picture above.

The newly anointed Miss Korea uploaded her photos recently on her Cyworld homepage to prove that she has lost the ajumma-ness.  At this rate of change, we probably won’t be able to recognize her when she enters the Miss Universe pageant in the middle of this year.

In an interview by Korean newspaper, “Hankook Ilbo,” the 2008 Miss Korea, Nari, had to redeem herself. Miss Korea admitted that the photos of her taken at the pageant were unflattering. That’s an understatement!

The 23 year old Yonsei student added that she can’t walk on the streets without being conscious of what she looks like (i.e. full makeup and dress). However, she will continue to go to the public bath since her momma enjoys going. So does this mean that we can check her out naked?

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.

The judges must have had a very late night because they still have on their beer goggles.

I don’t understand how she could have won. The other runner ups were much more easy on the eyes.

Maybe the judges equated big hair to big beauty. Generally, an average girl can look va-va-voom with a big pompadour since it takes away from her face and softens the features. But the new 2008 Miss Seoul needs more than big hair.

The new Miss Korea, Nari looks like an old relic of the 1970’s beauty queens-she is pear-shaped with wide child bearing hips, has short legs with moos,  and a wide face that only a mother could love. This is not the body or the face that is considered the Korean ideal in any way. In fact, she has all the features that people want to avoid (yes, very unfortunate!)

The 23 year old (going on 40)  Yonsei University graduate was crowned as the new Miss Korea 2008 on August 6, 2008 at the Seoul Sejong Center. The red-nosed ajumma will scoop up 10 million won (9800 USD) in earnings and begin her makeover training soon.

Congratulations

What’s with the awkward pose? Her tribute to the 1970s is not a coincidence

Check out the home-made gown! Who wears something like that these days? And how did she win in this awful swimsuit? If Nari can be Miss Korea, almost anybody can. So, that’s a good thing.
