==History== The first Miss Korea competition took place in 1953 and was organised by the Korean newspaper Chungang Ilbo. From 1957 onward, it was sponsored by the [[Hankook Ilbo]] (Korea Daily). Each year, approximately fifty women compete in [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]], and eight are selected by a panel of judges. The winner "Jin" (진) is crowned as the official Miss Korea. Additionally, there are "Seon" (선) finalists (equivalent to 1st runners-up), and "Mi" (미) finalists (equivalent to 2nd runners-up). Lastly, the sponsor title (equivalent to 3rd-7th runners-up) are chosen. Since 2025, new titles have been added 'Ye' (예) (equivalent to 3rd runners-up) and 'Jae' (재) (equivalent to 4th runners-up).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2025042510320001459|title=미스코리아, '진·선·미·예·재' 선발 |date=25 April 2025 }}</ref>
