Miss Korea Woo Seo Yun shares elegant Chuseok greeting in hanbok

Woo Seo Yun, daughter of former basketball player Woo Ji Won and winner of the 70th Miss Korea pageant, has drawn renewed attention by sharing Chuseok greetings in traditional *hanbok*. With her 175cm stature and elegant aura, public interest is surging regarding her path following her crowning as Miss Korea.

On the 24th, a video titled '2026 Miss Korea Hangawi Greeting' was released on the official Miss Korea SNS. Appearing first, Woo stood before the camera in a bright yet restrained *hanbok* outfit, emphasizing her signature pure and neat image with natural makeup instead of exaggerated styling.

“Standing here today in *hanbok*, I feel that our beauty contains a culture and heart that has been passed down for a very long time,” Woo said, conveying the meaning of Chuseok. She continued with warm wishes for a pleasant Hangawi, noting that ordinary moments—such as having a meal with family and checking in on one another—ultimately remain the most precious memories.

This *hanbok* appearance is drawing even more attention because various speculations regarding her appearance have concentrated on her since she claimed the highest honor of Miss Korea, the 'Jin,' just one month ago. As her past appearances on variety shows were revisited, speculations about changes in her appearance were raised online, but Woo has not released any separate position regarding the controversy.

Rather, Woo's recent activities are not limited to appearance-related issues. Majoring in art at Tufts University in the United States, she expressed her intention to expand her field of activity by revealing her future goal of becoming a global art curator following her Miss Korea win. She also shared her ambition to continue exerting a positive influence through donation campaigns by utilizing her social interest and influence.

In particular, her 175cm height, which was once a personal complex, has now become a defining strength. Woo confessed that she once resented her father, Woo Ji Won, because of her tall stature, but revealed that she realized her height could actually be a competitive advantage while wearing high heels during her Miss Korea preparation. With the crown as a turning point, she has effectively turned a perceived weakness into a strength.

From the young girl who appeared on broadcasts with her father in her childhood to the 'Jin' of the 70th Miss Korea, Woo has grown. This Chuseok *hanbok* greeting serves as more than just a holiday message; it is a moment showing the current Woo Seo Yun, who has begun to stand before the public under her own name, moving beyond the label of being 'the daughter of Woo Ji Won.'
