2006 Miss Korea pageant winner Lee Ha-nui is making waves in Mexico as a Miss Universe contender. This article, translated from the Munhwa Ilbo, gives a taste of her recent successes, which are wide, though the reporter seems especially delighted by her popularity with one group in particular. In any case, Korea Beat certainly wishes her all the best.
With the Miss Universe pageant set to be held on the 28th voting is underway in every country. One ‘Miss Korea’, namely Lee Ha-nui, is putting her name up for the shortlist with nothing left to chance.
On the 7th, North American beauty pageant website GB announced that the fifth-ranked Lee will be dropped to 9th place on the 10th. Even so she was slotted into the top 10 of 77 Miss Universe 2007 entrants.On the 6th through 8th in the southern Mexican region of Chiapas, Lee received more attention. It was then that pageant judges and citizens designated her as having the eighth-most beautiful face. First place went to motherland Mexico’s representative, second place to Venezuela, third to Spain, fourth to Tanzania, fifth to Jamaica, sixth to Estonia, and seventh to Finland.
Asia’s power is becoming all the greater. The same Filipino website which lifted Ukraine to first place raised Lee to fifth place on its beauty chart.
Lee is becoming more beautiful in the eyes of the white race too. Lee was selected from among 20 women to be Poland’s ‘Miss Globe’. Belgium’s ‘Miss & Mister’ summarized Asia’s greatest beauties in this Miss Universe to be Japan, The Phillippines, Thailand, India, and 2006 Miss Korea Lee Ha-nui.
After attending media and interviews on the 9th Lee will attend a beach party in the resort town of Cancun.
Not a big fan of factory-spawned beauty. Much prettier girls walking around the university campus this morning.
