The love story of Miss Korea will be revealed.
On the 5th at 10 PM, TV Chosun's cultural program 'Modern Figures History Mystery' (hereafter 'Mystery') will feature MC Lee Kyung-kyu unveiling his deep (?) connection with Miss Korea.
This week, the stories of Miss Koreas who graced an era will be explored in various ways. Kim Joo-hee, a former Miss Korea and announcer, will appear as a special guest to share behind-the-scenes stories and vivid experiences from the Miss Korea pageant.
The story of the 'Legendary Miss Korea' who introduced the beauty of Korea to the world will be told. Jang Yoon-jung, who was crowned Miss Korea in 1987, made history by placing second as the first Asian contestant in the 'Miss Universe' pageant in 1988, creating a new chapter in the history of Korean beauty.
Lee Kyung-kyu reminisced about Jang Yoon-jung's beauty, saying, "She was 172cm tall with an Oriental face," while historian Kim Jae-won teased him, saying, "You know the details well?" making everyone laugh. It is reported that Jang Yoon-jung's unparalleled beauty and elegance made a contestant, who is now an actress preparing for the Miss Korea competition that year, nervous, and the behind-the-scenes story related to this will be revealed.
Additionally, Lee Kyung-kyu mentioned, "I have a deep connection with Miss Korea," and shared the story of how he hosted the 60th anniversary ceremony of Miss Korea in 2016. Professor Seo Kyung-deok asked, "Did you go without pay?" which made Lee Kyung-kyu flustered. He then shared his experience as a reporter covering the Miss Korea dormitory, saying, "In 1992, I was the number one male celebrity that Miss Korea wanted to meet," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
From chaebols to top stars, the 'love stories' connected by the Miss Korea pageant will also be revealed. Lee Hye-jung, who was Miss Korea Miss Le Mans in 1986, participated in an international beauty pageant held in Taiwan and fell in love with the eldest son of the Tan Yu Group, the largest Chinese conglomerate in Asia at the time.
The special connection that brought the two together, the engagement ceremony that drew attention with a 30-carat diamond and expensive gifts, and the story of their three wedding ceremonies will be shared. Actor Choi Min-soo, who fell in love at first sight with Kang Joo-eun, a Miss Canada from 1993, and the love story of former soccer player Ahn Jung-hwan and Lee Hye-won, which began on the runway of an Andre Kim fashion show, will also be revealed.
