According to exclusive media reports on August 1, Jeon Somi will appear on stage at the upcoming 69th Miss Korea Pageant, which will take place on August 5 at COEX Auditorium in Seoul. What makes this performance unique is that Somi will not be alone—she will be collaborating directly with Miss Korea contestants, creating a one-of-a-kind stage that merges music, elegance, and empowerment.
The performance is themed around Somi’s soon-to-be-released title track “CLOSER”, from her new mini album “Chaotic & Confused”, which drops on August 11 at 6PM KST. The stage aims to reflect the vibrant and dynamic concept of the single, blending Somi’s energetic charisma with the grace and diversity of this year’s finalists.
Unlike standard congratulatory stages, Somi’s appearance will serve as a creative experiment, highlighting synergy between K-pop and the modernized image of Miss Korea. Organizers believe her cheerful and healthy energy will inject fresh excitement into the show.
The Miss Korea Pageant, known for producing stars like Kim Sung-ryung, Ko Hyun-jung, Kim Sa-rang, and Honey Lee, continues to evolve with the times. Recent years have shifted the focus from traditional beauty standards to qualities like intelligence, personality, physical fitness, and creativity. Contestants now go through rigorous evaluations including regional preliminaries, pre-pageant training, and reality show challenges.
The pageant’s reality survival series, MISS KOREA: THE ORIGINAL, currently airing on the official Miss Korea YouTube channel, documents the growth and struggles of the contestants, offering both inspiration and entertainment.
Past winners such as Lee Seung-hyun (Miss Korea 2016), an economics major from Korea University, and Woo Hee-jun (runner-up, Miss Korea 2019), a national kabaddi athlete, have redefined public perceptions of what it means to be a beauty queen in Korea.
