A 24-year-old South Korean student was crowned Miss Earth 2022 during a competition held at Okada Manila in Paranaque City Tuesday night, beating 85 other contestants in the environment-driven pageant.
Crowd favorite Mina Sue Choi, a communications student, is the first Korean to win Miss Earth since the beauty pageant started in 2001.
Choi answered: “If there’s something I would correct in this world it would be being empathetic. We often mistake kindness as being empathetic but what being empathetic is putting yourself into someone else’s shoes and when it comes to climate issues and other issues in this world one has to be empathetic.
Asked what makes her proud of her country, Choi said: “Korea has many wonderful things from history to current cultural wave, but I must say the one thing I am most proud of is the people of Korea. In the past and present day, Koreans have always been challengers and hard workers. We always challenge ourselves, sometimes critique ourselves, but to always better ourselves. I love that people of our country are proud to be Korean wherever we are.
“For me, however, this conversational item requires a bit more thought because my itinerant upbringing has allowed me to put down roots in so many different places. Although I was born in Sydney, Australia and lived in the heart of the city until I was 7 years old, I do not have a discernible Aussie accent.
