BIOGRAPHY:

Jung So-ra was crowned Miss Korea in the 54th Miss Korea Beauty Pageant at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul on Sunday.

Jung, the first runner-up of Miss Seoul, is the daughter of the chairman of the Korean Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, Jung Han-young. Her measurements are 33-24-36 with a height of 171cm.

A student at the University of California Riverside, she is proficient in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Her father was once recruited as an MBC TV actor in an open audition when he was young, suggesting that good looks run in the blood.

"I never expected to be crowned Miss Korea as I am the youngest of the contestants," Jung said. "It is such an honor. I want to make the beautiful Korean culture known all over the world." She pledged to study hard to become a diplomat and added, "I have no intention of going into showbusiness."

When asked about her role model, Jung answered, "Angelina Jolie, because not only was she named as the most beautiful actress in the world, she also continues to put more effort into her volunteer work. Like her, I want to take part in activities that benefit the society and at the same time promote Korean culture."

So-ra will represent South Korea in the Miss World 2010 in China and Miss Universe 2011, which is said to be held in Nha Trang, Vietnam. A dream just came true tonight, just as Jeong Sora said, “It’s a dream come true”.
