Miss Korea winner Woo Seo-yoon says she is gaining recognition in her own right
Woo Seo-yoon was crowned Miss Korea in August and has begun attracting attention in her own right.
Her father, former basketball player Woo Ji-won, was previously the better-known member of the family when they went out together.
In a social media interview, she said people now sometimes ask her alone for photos, making her feel she has “slightly beaten” her father in popularity.
She also said she had a no-prep dental veneer treatment and was pleased with the result because she is often photographed smiling.
The attention followed online speculation about whether her appearance had changed, after old television footage of her resurfaced.
Woo said she hopes to become an art curator with an international career, drawing on her studies and time living in the United States.
For now, she said, that plan is on hold while she carries out her Miss Korea activities.
Miss Korea 2026 winner Woo Seo-yoon says more people now ask her for photos in her own right, rather than because she is former basketball player Woo Ji-won’s daughter.
She described the change in an interview video posted on social media on October 27.
Woo said she hopes to work as an art curator, but is putting that plan on hold while she fulfills her Miss Korea duties.
She also disclosed that she had a laminate dental procedure.
Woo won the top title at the 70th Miss Korea pageant in August.
