She elevated the competition. A women whose whole life revolves around winning a beauty pageant doesn't have much of a life, and reduces herself to an animated mannequin, and provides ammunition for the stereotype that beautiful women are shallow and not very bright. Soo represents the kind of woman who ought to be representing the country. She's a role model.

She wasn’t out there to win either, she just wanted the experience which I felt gave her that edge and set her a part in many ways. It’s good to be competitive, but when you don’t have that pressure it becomes a better experience for you ( I think). I’ve joined drawing competitions where it wasn’t my intention to win but to join in on the experience and the community of people joining and I ended up winning. I feel when you don’t have that pressure the whole thing is a lot more fun and winning is just the bonus.

​@@penguino3480I have to differ, as the beauty standards have already changed in HK. 45kilos for 160 is not called fat in HK. Unless you are sort of skinny fat something that is quite common in mainland as some girls don't eat but don't do any sort of physical activity so they end of with weak frame and just gain fat in some areas over the years while maintaining skinny legs (in my opinion not a great look). But they don't weight much as they have very small frame and little muscle. Nowadays beauty standards in HK are more toward a toned body regardless of your height and weight. This was influenced heavily by the west of course.

Please don't insult people who have done plastic surgeries on their faces or anywhere else on their bodies.

[@Tetsuza_3]

I had a similar experience actually, though I admit I am a man and its probably nowhere near as absurd as her situation. I grew up in the countryside, Naju specifically where I used to wrestle a lot as a kid. In Korea we have a traditional form of martial arts called ssireum, or Korean folk wrestling, which is divided by weight divisions. I am part of the Baekdu division, the largest of combatants, under 160kg to be specific. When I went to Seoul for the first time, to see family there, I remember people gave me this "ugly look" like I was somehow doing something wrong just by existing. People would ask me constantly if "I needed to sit down" because of my size or if I "didn't like exercise." My entire life until that point was nothing but training, sweat and struggle, making my body and heart strong to survive in the ring, because I had a personal connection with Ssireum. It made me feel strong, relying only on myself, trusting my own ability and courage to win a fight as who I was. Hearing so much judgemental and harsh words from people who never understood or cared to ask eventually broke me, and I quit ssireum altogether. Of course I am much grown up, but I never returned to Ssireum, because I felt like my own people judged me without caring to even ask. During high school I got bullied for being "fat" as well, despite the fact I would say I was decently sturdy and strong, because I didn't fit in or look like the skinny, cool kpop idols and stuff. It hurt. Not because nobody cared to understand me, but because I wanted to he strong for them, for my family and my hometown, to be strong and bring them victory, but those who I fought for were the ones that struck me down.

At this point, you cannot say they are standards of beauty. They are repressing women, by expecting them to be malnourished. My partner is East Asian, 165cm, and 60kg. She's fit. Probably a lower body fat percentage than most beauty pageant contestants. Fitness has a reasonably strong correlation to intelligence. And someone's ability to function in society without help. Expecting people taller than that to be dramatically lighter is a form of cultural repression.

[@wigglysubu4158]

wtf she's so beautiful, has such a calming personality and how is she over weight? these "standards" are sickening. thank you for this video, i have mad respect for her

[@viddavferdel8352]

wiggly subu first time in Asian society?

[@m.h2247]

VidDav FerDeL wtf Is « Asian society ». Kazakhstan and Thailand are the same now?

[@viddavferdel8352]

Melody Headburn well how would you generalize it jeez it’s just a way of expression so chill

[@bluelingen]

The Korean beauty standard is ridiculous. She actually looks OK and yet, she's considered fat.

[@aerichan3508]

If she’s overweight I’m obese

[@stephylynnpatch]

Her father sounds like a very sweet and kind man.

[@talitam.8414]

Stephy Lynn I know right? I noticed that too, he seems very considerate.

[@nataliadea7387]

Yea im going to cry :'(

[@nirestrunk4923]

She didn't cry on camera when she was talking about how she felt about hurtful comments. She cried when thinking about how it could hurt her *family*. 💙

[@jaba06]

She looked the most naturally beautiful among those other contestants, at least from those seen in this video.

[@airilyyy]

@A k her nose looks natural, actually kinda like mine too

[@SiriusV23]

She seems to be 100% natural, I've seen other korean models, and I can tell the difference in the eye, nose, lipss, eye brows.

[@isabellahu4606]

@A k maybe

[@younghage25]

Agree she's all natural...I can tell the difference to the other girls and even ordinary people has surgery..but soo min is natural~~

[@Perisemiotics]

@@younghage25 agreed, she stood out in the crowd

[@Juanka888]

I think we can realize from this video why she won the competition, she is not only beautiful but also natural and honest.

[@minervaville]

I like how she just lowkey joined the competition real chill without a specific or very emotional reason and ended up wining unexpectedly She deserves it 👑

[@delusionalcelibacy]

Like Lara Dutta.

She honestly seems like such a sweet, kind-hearted woman

[@imaspandhini4525]

Man seriously, she is one of the prettiest girl i've ever seen and also, i can tell from this interview that she is well educated and also well-mannered. Personally, beauty pagent is mostly around 3B and this beautiful woman right here represent it very well :)

[@rivvin8387]

Imas Pandhini agreed and she looks like a “natural” beauty rather than the standard plastic surgery look. She’s also well spoken and smart. She deserves the title.

[@thedarkphoenix1640]

@@rivvin8387 Do you think she's had any surgery? I know most women there do.

[@AndyStarzs1]

The judges picked her wonderfully. She’s down to earth, very fun and a comfortable, very amazing. This woman is beautiful in every possible way. Inside and out.

[@redwarrior2342]

Yeah, agreed. The fact that the judges picked her shows that standards in Korea are at least going somewhere, and that the focus seems to be moving towards overall beauty.

[@AndyStarzs1]

RedWarrior I know, right? And that’s honestly amazing. Korea has the strictest Beaty standards of any country and it’s also one of the most stressful countries to live and grow up. Children’s have to study at all ends and even look a certain way. I’m looking forward to see what Miss Korea will do with her title and status and hope she inspires the young Korean woman that you should accept yourself! And I love her because she’s so down to earth and she brings such a good aura and atmosphere!

[@LunaLunaTzy]

@@redwarrior2342 i agree! She's so sweet, beautiful and insanely likable 😊😊

[@TheLoveMaryLu]

She has a natural elegance in her and her confidence is something to look up to despite all the difficulties she faces! I think you’re beautiful and your wonderful down to earth personality speaks volumes! 💕
