After another warm and bright weekend, Korea awoke to a fresh new face Monday morning. Jung So-ra was crowned Miss Korea 2010 Sunday night at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, downtown Seoul.
Jung valiantly fought back her tears while being crowned by last year’s winner Kim Joo-ri. Dressed in a rich, navy blue dress, the doe-eyed beauty’s surprise and excitement was evident.
It was only moments before the announcement came that the humble 19-year-old ― originally representing Seoul ― was asked who she would, in all honesty, like to see be crowned the winner.
``I can be greedy,’’ Jung started sincerely. ``But my heart also knows how to yield. I would like for all of us to win.’’
She will be the representative national face for the coming year, a responsibility she already has an affinity and skill for. Jung, who wants to be a diplomat, already speaks four languages (including English, Chinese and Japanese along with her mother tongue), and is enrolled at the University of California, Riverside.
