81-Year-Old Falls Short in Bid to Become Oldest Miss Universe


An 81-year-old model that has taken part in a Miss Universe Korea pageant in an attempt to become the world's oldest Miss Universe contestant.


Despite facing off against a lineup of significantly younger rivals, Choi Soon-hwa showcased her poise and passion in a stunning beaded white gown during the event


Choi Soon-hwa strutted across the stage in a beaded white gown and performed in a singing contest at the Miss Universe Korea pageant at a hotel in South Korea’s capital,Seoul on Monday.

She did not take the crown but was given the "best dresser" award.

Han Ariel, 22, won the contest and will compete in the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City in November.

Ms Choi worked in hospital care before beginning a modelling career in her 70s.

She was announced as one of 32 Miss Universe Korea finalists earlier this month.

"Even at this age, I had the courage to grab on to an opportunity and take on a challenge," Ms Choi told The Associated Press before the pageant.

"I want people to look at me and realise that you can live healthier and find joy in life when you find things you want to do and challenge yourself to achieve that dream."


Despite being a runner-up this time round, Choi's journey is likely to inspire many women. She is a former hospital care worker, who began her modeling career in her 70s.

Announced as a Miss Universe finalist earlier this month, she joined 31 other contestants in a competition that reflects a shift toward inclusivity and empowerment by organizers.

This year's pageant represented a significant change in policy, as the Miss Universe organization had previously restricted participation to women aged 18 to 28.

This age limit, long criticized for excluding many women, was lifted to promote a more modern and diverse competition.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
