True, she is a grandmother, she has three grandchildren. Choi Sun Hwa is competing with contestants aged 18 to 28, and she herself turns 81 next month. The age limit for this pageant was recently lifted (to become more inclusive). 
She looks very dignified and stylish
She is already the most popular finalist, and there is a good chance that Korea will be represented at Miss Universe by such a stately lady. It's funny that the Miss Universe beauty pageant itself is only 72 years old, it was started in 1952, and Choi is ten years older than the pageant! She's old enough to be a grandmother, as they say.
By the way, she has been working with various fashion magazines for a long time, for example, Harper's Bazaar and Elle. It all started 10 years ago, Choi was advised to become a model by one of the patients where the woman worked. She was still working in the hospital at 72!
Next to other contestants
She worked on herself - attended modeling classes, practiced during lunches at work. And was able to debut at the age of 74 at Seoul Fashion Week.
- I want to show the world that an 80-year-old woman can be so healthy, can look like this. I want to become an example for others that this is possible, - the woman shared.
And here she is, like Cruella De Ville
She talked a little about her life, that she strictly follows a diet, that she exercises. So there is no health discovery - it's genes and a strict attitude towards her body. Well, everyone can do that, they just don't want to. If you have bad genetics, you won't last longer than expected anyway.
A lot of strange things await us
Okay, this year they removed the age limit, that's cool. But now a pregnant girl can also become Miss Universe, well, I guess it's symbolic. Women with children are also allowed, and divorced people, in general - they take everyone.
They don't take ex-men yet, but something tells me that there's a year or two left before that.
I don't know, it seems like plastic surgery is allowed for Miss Universe, otherwise where would you find so many Koreans without it
The latest news is that the judges have chosen another contender. Choi Sun Hwa will not go to the world competition. And they were afraid in vain, something charming and very cool would have come out. They chickened out.
