Miss Grand Korea 2019 (Korean: 2019 미스 그랜드 코리아) was the 3rd edition of the Miss Grand Korea pageant, held at the Island Castle Hotel Resort, Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi, on July 12, 2019.[1] [2] [3] Twenty-two contestants, who qualified for the national contest through the regional auditions, took part in the event.[3] Of whom, the representative of Gyeonggi, Park Serim, was named the winner (Korean: 진),[2] [3] while Moon Jin-hee, Lee Do-jeong, Lee Woo-hyun, and Yoon Sumi, were named the first to fourth runners-up, respectively.[3] [4]
Originally, the winner of the contest, Park Serim, was expected to represent South Korea at the international parent stage held in Venezuela on October 25,[1] [4] but withdrew due to the deteriorating political situation and safety concern in the host country.[5] Park was then sent to compete at the Miss Global 2019 pageant instead.[6] After being unable to send a delegate to join the international contest, 1L2H Company later lost the franchise to the Korea Marriage Bureau and Korea Premium Brand Association the following year.[7]
The national finalists of Miss Grand Korea 2019 were determined through the regional auditions held by the central organ three times.[8] The first two auditions were held in the capital, Seoul on June 6 and June 15, while another happened in Daejeon on June 22. The candidates who qualified via the audition then entered the training camp. In case of withdrawal, the remaining regional participants would be promoted as the replacements.[9]
