“Daughter of basketball player Woo Ji-won” Woo Seo-yoon left a post in person for the first time since being crowned Miss Korea jin. Above all, interest centered on her first statement because, rather than the outpouring of congratulations after becoming “MiCo jin”, she was engulfed in controversy over suspicions of plastic surgery.
Woo Seo-yoon said on the 16th, “Hello, I am Woo Seo-yoon, 2026 Miss Korea jin,” adding, “For me, this competition was more than just a contest; it will remain a priceless experience that may never come again. I was able to build precious memories that I will cherish for a lifetime, and the fact that I could form valuable connections with good people is, above all, the greatest gift to me,” she said.
She continued, “I sincerely thank you for the many concerns and warm support you sent. I will become someone who can repay your kindness with positive influence,” adding, “I will learn and work every moment to be worthy of the title Miss Korea jin, and grow day by day,” revealing her feelings and determination.
The released photos and videos show her wearing the crown immediately after being named Miss Korea. They also included a verification shot taken with her father, Woo Ji-won. Woo Ji-won, pleased with his daughter’s MiCo jin win, gave a thumbs-up pose, and Woo Seo-yoon stood beside him with a bright smile filling her face.
Earlier, Woo Seo-yoon, the daughter and eldest child of Woo Ji-won, was chosen as jin at the ’70th 2026 Miss Korea’ pageant held in August.
However, an unexpected plastic surgery controversy erupted as a past variety show in which she appeared with her father during her teenage years was brought back to public attention. In addition, Woo Seo-yoon’s mother, Woo Ji-won’s ex-wife, had frankly admitted on the variety show, “Look for the parts where I had plastic surgery. Honestly, it would be faster to find the parts I haven’t had done,” thereby openly acknowledging having had procedures.
As a result, suspicions of plastic surgery spread more quickly, and some internet users cast skeptical glances. However, other internet users pointed out that “when someone becomes a college student and loses weight, changes in style and makeup can be enough to make them look different,” criticizing hasty plastic surgery theories.
Woo Seo-yoon uploaded a post on social media herself for the first time in about two months and disclosed her feelings after being crowned “MiCo jin,” but she did not mention the plastic surgery suspicions. <
