Maybe to Korea's perspective YOUR country's beauty standard might seem unfit as well. I personally think White skin is thousand times more beautiful than brown skin because of its look of clean, pure, innocent and it glows with black hair. White skin is as beautiful as snow, and dark, black skin........whatever. And i think Korea is the most gorgeous race in not just Asia but the whole world and that asians look hundred times better than Caucasians... I think the reason korean never win Miss Universe is not because they aren't as beautiful, but because Korea is not as famous, well-known, judges are streo-typed caucasians, and a fixed thought that East Asian has never won first place all along, and therefore shouldn't in the future. American beauties look too scary like a witch. Too tall nose, dark skin, too big breasts and they get old so quickly and gain all that wrinkles when theyre only in late 20s... just my opinion.

Your definition of a winner and beauty is compared to a Honey Lee?? It's the Ms. Universe contest people....your standards of beauty in korea...it's kinda creepy..besides..it takes more than looks and color. she has to have brains too...a great personality and by god, she must also be a woman of substance.. geez….no wonder your country has no Miss Universe yet!!!

But, I think she looks fine. Personally, I think she has a delicate and sweet charm. She can still wow the judges and other contestants with her intelligence and friendliness. Miss Nari, have a great time at the Miss Universe pageant! Okay, so Miss Nari is not the conventional beauty queen. But, I think she looks fine.

I mean, if you're gonna win a beauty pageant, ppl are going to expect you to be beautiful and if you're not, you gotta be prepared to take the heat. It's really quite surprising that she won. Well, I guess she won't be making the top 25 for miss universe either because you really do need beauty to win THAT one! A beauty pageant is a BEAUTY pageant!

I'd rather have an unconventionally beautiful, intelligent woman representing my country than the ideal beauty who has little beyond beauty as attributes. Jang Yoon-hee looks exactly like a Korean girl I know. Scary. But the girl I know is natural, so maybe that's why I thought Jang Yoon-hee looked the least plastic.
