They picked the Miss Korea Gwangju / Jeonnam last week.

Sorry, forgot to tell you. Introducing Lee Yuna (이윤아), age 20, studying literature at Chosun University in Gwangju. Meh. I guess she's the one in the middle of this photograph taken at the competition last Saturday, May 24th, at the Butterfly Expo in Hampyeong.



The 서남관신문 has the story. Here's an excerpt, via Babelfish Translator, for those who can't read Korean:

The Cholla Nam Do profit Oh (20, Korea large liberal arts window encouragements of learning and 1 years) Miss occupied a true meaning glory from Miss Korea selection conference and clutched the crown. Profit Oh German silver last 24th from 6 pms 30 minutes 2008 Kwangju which is opened from 2008 Hamp'yong world-wide butterfly insect X gun specially installed stage * got the glory which from Cholla Nam Do Miss Korea selection conference is selected on `th position '.

The women on either side of the winner are 20 and 19, respectively, and both studying in Gwangju. You know, you can run a Naver search for the Gwangju Car Show and get hundreds and hundreds of pages of blogs and image results. Can't find a damn thing about this contest. But I did come across this set, lol, of the finalists looking like they're ready to be in some old guy's music video.
