Miss Korea 2008 NaRi represents Korea for Miss Universe.

She has donned the bikini for the presentation show for 2009 Miss Universe on 17th August in Paradise Island in Atlantis.

And Korean netizens compare her bikini photo now and when she was at the Miss Korea 2008 pageant.

For the presentation show, the contestants have to do a swimming suit parade, evening dress parade and individual interview sections. And the points from this round will decide which national contestants will move on in the pageant.









During the 2009 Miss Korea pageant this year when NaRi appeared to pass over the tiara to the newly crowned Miss Korea earlier this year, she was being once again been the topic amongst netizens who thought she looked like she underwent the knife to do fix her nose.

Meanwhile, ‘2009 Miss Universe’ finals will take place on 24th August.

Koreans say:

* “Why is her chest like that?”
* “Why do I keep looking at her nose?”
* “She is perfectly…. short”
* “Ahh embarrassing”
* “Her chest is totally big”
* “Nose……”

I kept looking at her nose too... not necessarily a bad thing, though. I didn't think it was a bad one, just prominent.

*is not making sense*

[shepardlover.livejournal.com]

Just watched the interview.

Umm... she's adorable.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

well she certainly improved.

she looks filipina to me. xD

[thrila.livejournal.com]

that's what i thought.

[liime-arix.livejournal.com]

Her looks did improve from last year, imo.

[xtohoshinki.livejournal.com]

LOL, they just notice the nose ?

[jaehyuno.livejournal.com]

When I saw her face in the left of the photo outside the cut I thought of Sunny.

[iwasasamurai.livejournal.com]

same

[niara-honey.livejournal.com]

eh? nose?
I couldn't help thinking that the pic of her in the pink bathing suit looked like a pic from back in the bad. like circa 90s pageant.
i didn't think it was the same Miss Korea.

A friend and I were looking through the Miss Universe pages and we decided that most, if not all, weren't good representations. The pictures, probably heavily photo shopped, look so westernized.

[parkjinyoung.livejournal.com]

lol, "Why is her chest like that?”

[dalpaengee.livejournal.com]

what is that ridiculous pouty face in some of the bathing suit pictures :\

[ari-meh.livejournal.com]

i think she looks fine and healthy...

not the best korean representative but still... she's cute and she has a nice body~

[legens-legentis.livejournal.com]

So let's see, implants, tan, gained muscle mass, and she got her nose done.

Anything else I missed.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

boob size definitely went up - her attitude is different in both pictures, too

[candy-phobia.livejournal.com]

She's cute. I like the fact that she looks like she's healthy weight.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

random but when she said 'koreans are so clean and neat' her voice reminded me of yoobin.

she looks prettier now but the boobs are too big. i hope it was just the angle because in the other pics they look okay

[nudrive.livejournal.com]

Hey chest ain't that big tbhhh

[star-riku.livejournal.com]

Mte.

[uchilove.livejournal.com]

how did she even win in the first place...?
didn't watch 08 but she looks (looked?) like a 60YO in that pink bathing suit..

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

How did her nose gain weight?

[xkimchi-ninja.livejournal.com]

She's Korean? She looks soo Thai.

[blooberrie.livejournal.com]

mte. She looks exactly like this waitress at one of my favorite restaurants.

[xkimchi-ninja.livejournal.com]

It seems all the East Asian contestants look so SouthEast Asian. They're all tan!! I thought East Asian women feared the sun and bleached their skin @.@

[douknow.livejournal.com]

It used to be popular to have pale skin in Asia just because if you had dark skin, it was assumed you worked out in the fields a lot.

It's becoming more westernized because if you have a tan, it looks like you can afford it. ;; You can notice that certain boy band members have taken photographs after trips to the tanning bed.

[liu-zhoucheng.livejournal.com]

She DOES look better, but she was not UGLY before just kinda awkward.

[baeraki.livejournal.com]

“Nose……”

*DEAD*

[blooberrie.livejournal.com]

Idec about plastic surgery because it's not like she remodeled her entire face. But she was really cute in her interview.

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

that first bathing suit is not flattering

looks like she just got rid of that fug one piece, got a tan, toned down the hair, and toned her body

[baeraki.livejournal.com]

ia.

i don't know about the nose lol but everything else just looks toned.
that purple Barney-esque swimsuit did nothing for her.

[dipropylene]

Now, is there anything über enviousjealousbitchy netizens do NOT complain about?

NO.

[bokchil.livejournal.com]

I've been following the Miss Universe stuff over on another comm, and just. 8D Korea never struck me as being at all...attractive.

The girl from Indonesia though, she's freaking adorable. I hope she wins.

[moonbin-is-love.livejournal.com]

true true!
but well, maybe coz im biased being indonesian.. XD

[bokchil.livejournal.com]

I'm biased too; my girlfriend is Indonesian. xD

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Pics like that and they are looking at her nose? What the hell are those priorities? o___O.

I'll be frank, I wasn't looking at her nose at all...

[yoomie.livejournal.com]

I saw the nose too and felt odd for it being what grabbed my eye first. Then I noticed the tan and loved a tanner Korea.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

is this the same person? she looks 15 years younger in the bikini pics

[kori-ya.livejournal.com]

Oh my, her new nose is a disaster. Why did she do that??
She changed too much, it's like a whole new person.

Her toned body is nice though :)

LOL @netizens

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

her nose was ugly before too.
I think she just got a tan and a MUCH better hairstyle.

[prushrush.livejournal.com]

That one-peice did absolutely NOTHING for her - and neither did the hairstyle =/

TBH I like the bikini pic better - she's much more toned and has a hella better hairstyle =/

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

“She is perfectly... short”

OUCH. I'm a short Asian girl too! Except I'm not a beauty queen, so it's okay. :D

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

IDK about the nose. her chest distracting me.

[nene718.livejournal.com]

She def got work done. She looks 40 in the earlier picture. Or maybe it's just the hair and tan.

[paulaaaaa.livejournal.com]

she reminds me of shinji of her after pics o.o
(don't kill me D:)

[wenzi.livejournal.com]

Not pretty is just... Not pretty. Period.

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

In certain light angles her nose looks fine, but in others it's kinda D:

Oh well, she's def prettier than me so. XDD Good luck to her I guess!

[sincronia.livejournal.com]

chest, nose, eyes perhaps? something done with her chin/cheeks too... lol, i clearly read awfulplasticsurgery.com and goodplasticsurgery.com too much
