Miss Korea (Korean: 미스코리아) is a national beauty pageant in Korea.

The current titleholder is Kim Jin-sol. She won the title on July 8, 2016 in Seoul.

History

The first Miss Korea competition took place in 1957 and was sponsored by the Korean newspaper Hankook Ilbo. Each year, approximately fifty women compete in Seoul, South Korea, and seven are selected by a panel of judges. The 1st-place winner "Jin"(진) is crowned the official Miss Korea and competes in Miss Universe. Additionally, there are two "Sun"(선) finalists (equivalent to 1st runners-up), who go on to compete in Miss International or Miss Earth. Lastly, four "Mi" (미) finalists (equivalent to semi-finalists) are chosen.

On March 16, 2011, the president of the Miss World Organization, Julia Morley, announced the newly launched Miss World Korea pageant. Until 2010, Miss Korea would also select the representative to Miss World, but starting with Miss World 2011, a separate competition has been held to choose the contestant who will represent Korea.[1]

In 2015, Hanju E&M take over Miss Korea Organization. Since 2016, Miss Korea organization no longer send South Korea's representative to Miss Universe.
