Miss Grand Korea 2021 Explained
Miss Grand Korea 2021 (Korean: '''2021 미스 그랜드 코리아''') was the fifth edition of the Miss Grand Korea beauty pageant, held on October 1, 2021, at the Daejeon Convention Center, Yuseong, Daejeon,[1] [2] [3] [4] where a twenty-five-year-old Dankook University graduate student from Seoul, Lee Ji-ho, was announced the winner.[1] Ji-ho later represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2021 held in Thailand on December 2,[5] but she was unplaced.[6]
The contest featured twenty-two candidates, who qualified for the national pageant via an audition held earlier on September 9. Due to the spread of COVID-19 and to comply with government quarantine guidelines, the number of attendances was limited to fifty people, including staff, participants, and broadcast teams.[2]
Background
An application for the Miss Grand South Korea 2021 was officially opened on April 19, 2021,[7] with a deadline on May 16,[8] and the grand final was initially scheduled for June 11 at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel, Seoul.[9] However, due to the daily increase in COVID-19-related confirmed cases in the country and the government social distancing guidelines, the event was rescheduled to October 1, with the pageant camp scheduled from September 29,[10] at a different venue, Daejeon Convention Center, Yuseong, Daejeon.[1] [2] [4]
After the deadline, an initial profile screening was performed to select the qualified applicants to face an actual audition held on September 9, when the twenty-two finalists for the pageant were declared.[10]
