The Miss Korea pageant, which began in 1957 and has a 67-year history, is a competition that showcases high-class beauty, including outer beauty and intelligence. The crowned Miss Korea participates in various social contribution activities both domestically and internationally.

During the training camp, Governor Park Woo-ryang gave a special lecture to the Miss Korea finalists under the theme “The one & only.”

Governor Park said, “Despite harsh conditions, we transformed the characteristics of the Shinan-gun region into strengths, attracting 400,000 tourists to the Purple Island, which has a population of 136. We also provide a solar pension, turning wind, sunlight, and seawater into income, contributing to preventing local extinction and responding to the population cliff. As a result, we were selected for the ‘2023 Korea Local Guardian Award.’” He gave a lecture emphasizing that Shinan, the 1004 Islands, is becoming a dream island where anyone wants to live, which received great response.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “I sincerely welcome that the Miss Korea pageant is holding its first training camp in Jeollanam-do here in Shinan. I hope the contestants fully experience the clean sea, pristine tidal flats, taste, style, and hospitality of Shinan and create wonderful memories during the event.”
