History

edit

Korea debuted at Miss Universe in 1954. In 1957 the first Miss Korea competition took place in 1957 and was sponsored by the Korean newspaper Hankook Ilbo. In 1957, Hankook Ilbo sent Miss Universe contestant who represents Korea. Since 2016, Korean representatives at Miss Universe have been chosen in a separate pageant, Miss Universe Korea, and the Miss Korea Organization no longer sends South Korea's representative to Miss Universe.[1]
