Yes! The winner of the Miss Korea 1997 pre-show popularity award is...

Number 27, Miss Kim Jae Hee!

Yes and unfortunately, second place goes to number 25, Miss Oh Ji Young.

Everyone please give them a round of applause.

Jae Hee! Yes! Good job, good job!

Sorry, Hyung Joon.

The Neo promissory note that was issued to ViVi, how much was the amount?

Hand that over to the bank tomorrow.

And turn in the other two promissory notes as well. All together.

I couldn't wish for anything more if I got second place again at the finals.

What are you talking about? You have to get first place.

Hey, if you got second place, that means it's more than possible to get first!

No matter how much I think about it, I find it strange that I came in second place.

If you perform the way you did at the pre-show

you can definitely place first at the finals.

If you get nervous, I'll be sitting in the very first row so only look at me.

Right behind the panel of judges. We'll be sitting there.

The tickets for those seats will be difficult to get.

I stood in line all night

and I got tickets for me, Teacher Jung, Hwa Jung, Kang Woo, and Hong Sam.

The contestants can easily see their family members and cheering squad from those seats.

The competition is really intense.

So don't be afraid and think, 'I'm all alone here, I'm standing on the stage alone.'

We'll be supporting you right behind the judges.

Instead of trying to impress the judges

think of it as the last practice between you and me.

- Like I'm practicing for the last time with you? - Exactly.

When you come out wearing your swimsuit...?

- I'm walking right towards you. - Right!

It seems like you're smiling to the panel of judges, but...

- I'm actually smiling at you. - Right!

Your face feels like it's going to get numb from saying 'Waikiki' for three hours, but...

- I'm actually smiling at your tired face. - Right! It's exactly that.

So.. only look at me.

On the day of the pageant.

Okay.

Please return Jae Hee to me.

I think it would be best if you stopped looking for her now.

That child... will follow my wishes and she won't compete in the Miss Korea pageant.

I would like to meet her and hear it from her directly.

Director Ma.

I'm sure you don't want this year to be your last Miss Korea pageant.

If that is the case, it would be in your best interest to leave Jae Hee alone.

Are you threatening me right now?

Of course not.

I was just wondering if you were carrying out your duties as a citizen.

I was very curious after I received the flowers from you.

Lately the Office of the National Tax Administration

is in an uproar about catching tax evaders not reporting assets.

If the Godmother of Miss Korea were to encounter a situation like that...

don't you think it would be shameful?

Is this Jae Hee? Where are you right now?

I put in a good word to the committee so let's hurry and go back to the training camp.

- Director. - You've wandered enough.

What more hesitation is there?

Isn't it because you're reluctant to throw away the Miss Korea pageant?

To me, your silence is a desperate cry for someone to grab you.

Am I wrong?

You know you got first place in the pre-show, right?

Yes.

You're almost there. Aren't you curious about the end?

You're almost there in being the winner of Miss Korea.

Whether you talk about your father or not is up to you.

I respect that choice.

However, if you really want to step out into the world and be acknowledged by others...

whether you're the daughter of Congressman Kim Suk Chul or not...

What's so important about that?

This is the best opportunity and stage to be acknowledged by the world on your own merit.

The Miss Korea pageant.

I'll hold onto you.

Let's go.

Should I take you home?

If you don't want to, then forget it.

Teacher Jung.

If...

we pay back all our debts, what are you going to do next?

What?

Our BB cream is out and there's a possibility that we might win Miss Korea.

If we pay back all that debt...

you have no reason to come out to the company anymore.

Well, I'll probably take on another debtor like Kim Hyung Joon and follow him around.

If not, I'll probably set up a fried chicken restaurant.

Are you relieved that you won't ever see me again?

In the beginning... I got indigestion whenever I saw you.

'When will that loan shark go away?' 'When will I never see him again?'

'Could I live without seeing him?'

When I set up the chicken restaurant, come and have a glass of beer once in awhile.

With the others.

Will you do that?

Why did you stay out overnight?

Why do you have so many secrets?

If you and I are the last ones on that stage... I'll tell you then.

[The Birth of Miss Korea, Oh Ji Young]

What can we do to have our voices be heard way out on stage?

Let's hold this up while we do it.

Beautiful girl, Oh Ji Young! Dazzling Oh Ji Young!

You have to scream it so it can be heard way out on stage!

Incomparable Oh Ji Young!

Stop it now! We have to hurry and get going.

- Let's go and practice. - You sound a lot better than me.

Hey, let's hurry and show Director Ma and Director Yang what we got!

Yes, this is ViVi Cosmetics.

The promissory note?

Who is the receiver?

I understand.

- The promissory note came in? - Where is it from?

President Kang that punk! I went to Neo to ask him for an extension but he wouldn't meet me!

How could he turn in the note without saying a word to us?

It's not like we've never done business with them before!

Do we have enough money left over from the investment funds?

We can block this one.

But if we do, we won't have money for the BB cream ingredients.

Once the pageant is over

the second installment of funds from Yoon will come in soon, right?

Yes, this is ViVi Cosmetics.

Besides the note from Neo, there's another note that came in?

[Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant]

- Just take everything inside please. - All right!

- This one. - Here you go.

Work hard.

Take this as well.

Did you have a good dream?

Come in.

Wear the dress for the second half of the show one last time

before you go to the pageant location.

In the end, you'll be wearing this at the end of the finals.

You think I'll make it to the second half?

Of course! Why are you worried?

You're going to make it, don't worry.

Seriously, you came in second for the popularity award.

If... if you don't make it to the second half of the finals...

don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

So I'm saying, don't feel burdened with having to save our company.

Today, just go up on that stage for yourself.

Just think that the second act of your life is about to start.

BB cream, President Kim... throw all that out the window.

Just focus on yourself. Okay?

- Good luck! - Do well!

- Bye! - Fighting!

You're going to do well today. Don't worry.

- Fighting! - Hey, are you getting on or not?

Go in.

Ji Young, Fighting!

- 'Waikiki!' - Do well!

I'll see you in a little bit!

Thanks.

Hyung Joon.

I'm not going to give up Miss Korea and I'm going to stick right by your side.

- Be prepared. - Sure.

- Come quickly. - Okay. It's cold, close the window.

[Miss Korea '97]

Ji Young!

[Miss Korea '97 Beauty Pageant]

Hey, Ji Young!

If you get nervous, just look at me! Got it?

Bankruptcy? What are you guys talking about?

It seems all the promissory notes were handed over to the bank.

It's about 400 million won.

Did you confirm to see who they were issued to?

Neo Cosmetics, Yong Ki Delivery, and the import suppliers. All three of them.

Besides Neo, the other two promised us extensions!

That's why Hong Sam and Kang Woo left to meet with those presidents.

What is this? It's not like they all planned it out together.

They promised to give us the maximum maturity, but they turned in all the notes?

If someone is trying to screw us over...

In the meantime, I'll go to Yoon

and ask him to deposit the second installment of the investment funds right away.

- Okay. - I'll be back.

You want me to deposit the second installment of the investment funds earlier?

I know that it's supposed to be deposited a week after the pageant, but

our situation is pretty urgent.

Hey, the first 3 thousand units were sold out in the market and the response is really good.

So if you can give us the funds...

Hold on.

And you already know that Ji Young placed second

for the popularity award at the pre-show yesterday.

So it's for certain she'll get placed today at the finals.

Once that's over with, Ji Young will become our BB cream model...

Hold on, sorry.

Yoon, I'm sorry but I need to make a phone call.

Hong Sam, it's me.

What?

Okay.

It was you?

That turned in our notes?

Persuading Neo to stop supplying us with our ingredients...

was that you, too?

All the BB creams that were bought out in the markets... that was you, too?

Why?

Is it because of Ji Young?

So you can break us up right now?

How naive.

This is why you'll never make it.

What did you say, punk?

There's only one factor when I do business.

Is it profitable for me?

Can I break even?

What's profitable for you?

What is it that you have to do to us to break even?

For your company to be destroyed.

To buy it cheap and resell it at a higher price.

You didn't come to me in the first place not knowing what I did.

The look of scorn that was given to me when you guys said you needed my money.

You think I didn't know?

ViVi Cosmetics is going to close down soon.

You won't be able to hold on for long.

When you guys go bankrupt

as written in the contract...

I'm going to get all the rights in regards to the BB cream.

Even if it wasn't me... ViVi Cosmetics... had no hope.

Hyung Joon, should we at least sell the note that was given to buy merchandise?

If you sell that now, we won't get it at the original price.

I'll try to dig around with our clients.

You guys check the banks again, all right?

Page me.

I'm going crazy!

Seriously, I'm going nuts.

Where do we have that kind of money to give you? I'm on the verge of going bankrupt, too!

- Hello? - Ji Young, it's me.

Are you on your way?

Yeah, I'll be there.

Hey, I think I might be a little late though.

But I'll get there before it starts so don't worry. Okay?

What's wrong with your voice? Is everyone all right?

Hwa Jung called earlier, she said sorry and told me to wait a little bit, but

her voice sounded strange.

I'll tell Hwa Jung to leave soon.

Get ready on your own for the time being, I'm sorry.

Nothing's going on. Don't be concerned.

All right?

Ji Young.

I'm sorry.

Make sure to come before it starts.

I'm going to do it while I watch you from the audience. You told me to.

Okay.

- Make sure. - Of course!

Hey... I'll see you in a bit!

Why aren't there any seats?

That's my seat!

Can't we trade seats?

Now, the final battle has come to unfold.

- Are you really nervous? - Yes.

It's natural to be nervous.

Essence.

Right.

One of the biggest effects of a lion's mane

is looking alive with energy.

If a hairstyle is bouncy and voluminous like this

it makes a person look alive and confident.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look.

- Why are you alone? - Pardon?

They'll be here soon.

Don't you have a mirror?

I just have to stand in line over there and wait a little.

You think by standing in line they're just going to let you have your turn?

What does it matter? Just let her be. She'll take care of it on her own.

And we're rivals now, Director.

Well, our rival is going around like a destitute bum without an umbrella!

It's depressing.

Just where and what is President Kim doing on the day of the finals right now?

He's supposed to be your umbrella.

Are you going to stand alone on stage without a chaperone?

What the heck is he trying to do on the most important day of the finals?

I'll be fine on my own.

You're not able to get a mirror because you don't have a chaperone!

Your hair and makeup, what are you going to do about it?

Are you going to carry all that on stage?

Do you know how vicious the thieves here are?

There are girls that can't even go on stage because their swimsuits get stolen.

It's even worse when it comes to the dresses.

I'll be on my way.

Go to the ladies' restroom.

It's pretty large so it should be comfortable to dress yourself up.

- It's no fun if it's too easy. - Yes, Director.

What's with her being so nosy? She's arrogant to the very end.

A lion's mane will make you look energetic and alive on stage.

Director. Can't you do mine as well?

You do it yourself.

I'm going to do yours.

Director, you only hate me.

If you did one thing that wasn't hateful, I would carry you on my back, you brat.

- Is it that strange? - Yes.

It looks great, you look like a lion.

I'll help you.

It's fine.

You won't be able to do it alone.

Help carry her belongings and please get ready to do her hair and make up.

- Yes, sir. - It's fine.

Hyung Joon's going to come. He said he'll be here soon.

Well then.

Now, team Kim Jae Hee and team Oh Ji Young.

Play rock, paper, scissors to see which team will go first.

Now, team Kim Jae Hee will go first. The Macarena.

Now, team Oh Ji Young, the Mambo right away.

Smile more please.

Go!

Oh Ji Young, center stage.

Now, everyone dance your heart out!

Timing please. Watch the timing.

Yes, this is Kim Kang Shik.

Hello?

Yeah, I can hear you.

What? Promissory notes?

ViVi?

So you're saying that the BB cream is going to

disappear before it even steps out into the market, right?

Okay.

And check to see if ViVi contacted any other cosmetic companies.

Enthusiastically!

BB cream.

It was eventually going to come into my hands, there was no need to be stubborn.

Pose! Three, two, one, okay!

- The Director is here! - Hello, Director!

- Don't forget to cheer! - Yes, ma'am!

- You guys prepared the cheer, right? - Fighting!

- Wow, it's a lot bigger than the last place. - Of course it's bigger, it's the finals.

Wait. Didn't you reserve those seats?

No. You didn't get the tickets for those seats either?

Not at all. In order to get this whole row, I even had to call my third cousins

and we stayed up all night in front of the bank.

Just who on earth got these seats before me? And why aren't they here?

Today's emcee for the Miss Korea 1997 beauty pageant!

A warm and witty man!

National husband material! May I introduce Emcee Shin Young Il!

Yes, hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Shin Young Il.

I will be your emcee tonight for the Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant.

To be able to share this night with 52 beauties

I believe I am the luckiest man in Korea.

- Ladies and gentlemen, aren't you envious? - Yes!

Yes. Now, with everyone's enthusiastic applause

we will open the stage for the Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant!

Welcome, President Kim.

President Hwang, we haven't gone into bankruptcy yet.

If you already do this before we even go bankrupt, how can we...

Then should I quietly sit around, let you guys go bankrupt, then watch my money blow away?

I was going to wait until the end of the year.

You kept on ranting and raving that I would get my money by the end of this year.

But you end up going bankrupt instead?

You have no conscience at all.

If you don't have the ability to pay me back then give up your life.

Look here!

- Is a person's life... - Shut your mouth!

Hey, if you're in debt, act like you're in debt!

It's not your place to interfere so just sit down!

You're so cool, Jung.

What a knight in shining armor you are.

- Teacher Jung! - Teacher Jung!

Teacher Jung!

This is why it's pointless to treat people that are older than you.

They forget their place and butt in where they don't belong.

Jung.

I'll give you one last chance.

Where do you want to stand?

Do you want to die with them or...

do you want to kill them with me?

Decide.

I will let the world know about our country

and I will devote my life for the sake of world peace. Thank you.

Hello, I am contestant number 25, second runner up of Miss Seoul, Oh Ji Young.

These days, there is a popular word 'vol-ret', which is short for voluntary retirement.

I too, had to voluntarily retire from the company I worked at for a long time.

But I decided to be brave and took up a new challenge

of becoming Miss Korea which I never dreamt of doing.

To everyone that is going through a difficult time because of the IMF, please be strong!

- What does that mean? - Encouragement! Encouragement!

She did a pretty good job primping herself in the bathroom.

You guys go back to the factory and lock up the doors inside.

And Hwa Jung, quickly call the police.

- Hey, you can't do this alone! - Hurry up!

We have to prevent them from destroying everything inside the factory.

Okay, be careful.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

President Kim.

Move. I don't like people getting hurt either.

- I don't like seeing blood. - I will never move!

You guys doing this is an illegal interference of business!

I won't move.

Jung!

President Kim says he won't move.

Do something about it, will you?

President Hwang.

Starting today, I'll turn in my resignation.

I'm actually thankful for that.

It feels like I'm extracting a rotten tooth.

Teacher Jung.

Ever since I met you, my life has been nothing but problems.

Now, this part of the pageant is the symbol and highlight of Miss Korea.

It is none other than the swimsuit competition.

I've been waiting for this moment as well.

As this will be very important in choosing the top fifteen

our contestants are very nervous.

Starting now, as each one of our beautiful contestants enter the stage

please give them a round of applause.

Contestant number 18, winner of Miss Kyungbuk, Miss Son Hyo Nyang.

Height is 170 cm. 33-24-34.

She is currently a freshman at Gyeonggi Art College.

She is a lively, modern young lady hoping to become a musical actress someday.

Next, contestant number 19, first runner up of Miss Seoul, Miss Choi Soo Yeon.

Height is 173.1 cm. 36-24-35.

She is currently a sophomore at Hanshin Women's College.

Her hobbies are cooking and listening to music.

And the person she respects the most is Shin Sa Imdang who

is known for being a good wife and wise mother in our history.

That should be good enough.

Next up is contestant number 22, second runner up of Miss Seoul, Shin Sun Young.

- Our baby is so pretty! - Height is 172.4 cm.

35-24-36.

Oh my gosh, the little brat gained an inch on her waist!

Why did they have to remeasure everyone at the finals?

What? 7.9?!

That little brat!

Next is contestant number 25, second runner up of Miss Seoul, Miss Oh Ji Young.

Height is 171.7 cm. 32-22-32.

She graduated from Geumok Women's Vocational School.

She is an honest young lady with a strong sense of responsibility

who worked as an elevator girl for seven years before entering the pageant.

Her waist is much more slender than the other contestants

so even though her chest is small, her proportions are amazing.

You're absolutely right. The balance is very good.

Balance.

The muscles on her arms and legs weren't made by Miss Korea's standards.

Her muscles were formed from diligently going to work every day.

- Wow! Look at that! - Good, good, good!

So far it's the best score!

- Eight... - What is that?

Next is contestant number 27, Miss Kim Jae Hee.

- Height is 171.9 cm. 36-24-36. - She's the one that got first place?

She is a strong and modern young lady from a prestigious college

who dreams of becoming an anchor woman one day.

We might see her in the near future as my junior in the broadcast station someday.

The winner of the popularity award, winner of Miss Seoul, Miss Kim Jae Hee!

We got it! We got it! We have nothing to worry about!

Get up. Get up!

Now at the end the of the first half

with our beauties on stage, the supporting audience, and our viewers.

The time for nervousness has come.

Now, the top 15 contestants that will enter the second half of the finals are in this envelope.

I'm getting very nervous. Starting now, I will announce each contestant.

Please give a round of applause after each announcement.

And this order has nothing to do with the contestants' scores and numbers.

I will now announce the 15 contestants that will enter

the finals of the Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant.

Yes, congratulations contestant number 27, winner of Miss Seoul, Miss Kim Jae Hee!

That was pretty much a given.

There was no way we could leave her out.

Contestant number 24, Winner of Miss Daegu, Miss Noh Hee Joo!

She was a lively young lady.

Contestant number 22, seconder runner up of Miss Seou, Miss Shin Sun Young!

Yes! Sung Young, fighting!

Stop! I said stop!

- I said stop! - Hey!

You better stop.

Stay still!

I said stop! Stop!

Their promissory notes.

Don't touch that.

- Don't touch that. - You should've brought this earlier.

It's going to reach maturity next month. You won't be able to get anything for it!

Don't touch it!

I'm not going to sell it in the loan market.

I'm going to hold on to it and get the original price for it next month.

- What? - That way I won't lose anything.

Let's call it even with this.

President Hwang!

We fell for her exotic charm.

Contestant number 26, winner of Miss Gangwon, Miss Nam Joon Ha.

The lady that made us feel like it was spring.

Contestant number 19, second runner up of Miss Seoul, Miss Choi Soo Yeon.

This young lady has a splendid smile.

Contestant number 20, first runner up of Miss Busan, Miss Kim Jin.

There's a saying that all the contestants have.

'I want to be in the second half with you'.

At the end of the first half, they pick the top 15 contestants.

So, if you're not in the top 15

you won't be able to be in the second half, which is the highlight of the pageant.

If you pack your bags and quietly leave the training camp, no one says anything.

During the second half, they're too busy choosing the winner of Miss Korea.

Other than the top 15, no one remembers the other 37 contestants.

Knowing you're not going to be there, it feels like the second half is already gone.

I feel like my life has been just up to the first half.

- Now, there is only one spot left. - Goodness, Father! I'm so nervous!

Why is that emcee taking so long?

At this rate, you might get a heart attack.

- Oh Ji Young! - Oh Ji Young!

The rest of the contestants must be very nervous, yes?

Now, I'm sure that the rest of the contestants are hoping that their name will be called.

I will announce the last contestant.

Yes, this person's catwalk in the swimsuit competition was very impressive.

Congratulations to contestant number 25

second runner up of Miss Seoul, Miss Oh Ji Young!

- She made it! - Oh Ji Young!

Oh Ji Young!

- Oh Ji Young. - The audience is very happy.

You did it, Ji Young! You did it!

The top 15 contestants have been chosen to enter the second half of the finals.

Everyone, please give a them a huge round of applause.

She keeps holding on to the very end.

To the rest of the 37 contestants that have not made it to the second half

thank you for your efforts.

Please give them a round of applause.

- Don't cry! - You did your best!

- There's next year! - Don't cry!

- Don't cry! - Your pretty face is going to get ruined!

Don't cry!

It's true that Miss Korea is not getting as much attention as it did before.

So it would be nice if the winner of Miss Korea this year

would be someone that the public will like.

What are your opinions?

So I was thinking it would be nice to give the natural beauties an advantage.

If you look in the profile book, there is a section on whether they had cosmetic surgery or not.

What kind of era do we live in to discriminate on whether you had cosmetic surgery or not?

It's true that the faces all look similar due to cosmetic surgery.

I think the idea of a natural beauty is good in revamping the image of Miss Korea.

Since BaDa Cosmetics is the official sponsor

the final contestants will be working as models for them.

So, a natural beauty is good as well, but

please think about a contestant that has a magnificent image suitable for BaDa Cosmetics.

These days

there are a lot of contestants that have a good education or prestigious background.

I hear that kind of perfection gives a sense of distance.

You know, a girl next door kind of image?

If we had a Miss Korea like that, don't you think a lot of people would be interested?

Yes, that's right. As people are having a difficult time through the IMF crisis

they need a friendly star who they can encourage and identify with.

It seems everyone has come to a common opinion.

If you look in the profile book, there is a detailed report on each contestant.

Please refer to it during the second half of the finals.

Oh, and the lowest and highest scores will be excluded.

Please bear this in mind as well.

- Ta-da! - Ta-da!

But what's wrong with your expression? You made it as one of the 15 finalists.

- That's right. - It's nothing.

Ta-da!

It's your birthday today.

Hurry and blow it out.

Hurry.

- Did you not see Hyung Joon? - No.

He didn't come? Then you did it by yourself? The whole thing?

- Why is that punk so irresponsible? - Hurry and blow it out and

make a wish.

Tell us your wish.

Please help our Ji Young to be the first place winner.

What are you doing right now at the entrance?

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Good job, my baby. Let's go in.

Please help our Ji Young to be the first place winner today.

Please help our Ji Young to be the first place winner today.

Me too?

Are you not part of this family?

Please help our Ji Young to be the first place winner today.

Eat a piece of this rice cake before you start the second half.

You look like you're about to collapse any minute now.

Will the finalists please prepare for the second half?

I better go up on stage.

Hyung Joon might call so answer it for me, Uncle.

- Okay. Hurry and get ready. - Yeah.

- Here, take the rice cakes. - Take that with you.

- Ji Young, fighting! - Fighting!

Hello?

Hello?

Is this Uncle Woong Sang?

What about Ji Young?

Hey, where are you right now?

Just what are you doing that you can't be at this important event right now?

How did Ji Young do?

Hey, call later! Ji Young's on stage right now so I can't talk to you.

- Who is it? - Hyung Joon.

Wait a minute.

If she's still on stage... then does that mean she's one of the last seven?

Now all the scoring by the judges is over.

What are the opinions of the 15 judges?

And who will be the star of the show?

I'm very curious.

The final results are out now.

I will receive the envelope.

I'm really nervous too. I wonder whose name is hiding in this envelope?

Yes, thank you.

I wonder what the results are. The envelope has now been handed over to me.

Whose name has been written in which section?

We will now start the award ceremony of the last seven finalists.

It's a really nerve wracking moment. The successive Miss Korea's will give the reward.

Now we will start with the first part.

I will announce starting with BaDa Cosmetics first.

Baby, not now! You can't go in a hurry. Slowly, go slowly.

The Miss Korea 1997 of BaDa Cosmetics is...

Congratulations number 22 , second runner of Miss Seoul, Miss Choi Sun Young!

- Oh no! - Okay, one down.

Please step forward.

Number 22, Miss Shin Sun Young has become the star of BaDa cosmetics.

The sash has been given.

And the crown will be transferred with the bouquet.

Everyone please give another round of applause.

Now the main award ceremony will start.

Looks like you'll either take the first runner up or the main winner.

I'm so jealous, Madame.

I wonder who will be the last one on the stage?

The real start of the Miss Korea pageant...

might be this moment.

Miss Korea '97, second runner up!

I will call out the names of the three contestants.

Number 26, winner of Miss Gangwon, Miss Nam Joon Ha!

That's two.

Number 20, first runner up of Miss Busan, Miss Han Ga Hee.

That's three!

Number 20, first runner up of Miss Seoul, Miss Choi Soo Yeon.

Congratulations! Please step forward.

Our Ji Young is doing great! That's already four girls!

Good.

Will the three contestants step forward and

the three successive Miss Korea's will hand you the prize.

The three second runners up will get a cash prize of 10 million won and a diamond necklace.

I told her not to relax on the stage until the end. Look at her.

The camera is capturing all her emotions.

She is crying quite a bit. I'm sure they're tears of happiness.

Just in case, I brought a handkerchief with me. Please wipe your tears with this.

Now, we will continue with the awards.

We are continuing with the awards for the second runner up of Miss Korea.

The crown is being transferred over to the new second runner up of Miss Korea.

- What's wrong with her? - It seems our contestant can't stop crying.

She naturally has a lot of tears. Did she think she was going to be the winner?

She should be happy with what she got.

Yes. Miss Han Ga Hee has gotten her award and now it is Miss Choi Soo Yeon's turn.

We will continue with the awards.

She stopped crying now that it's time to be awarded.

She has completely stopped crying now she that has the crown on.

Are you crying again? Yes, she is.

I'm sure they are tears of joy. Once again congratulations.

Now that concludes the three second runners up for Miss Korea.

Now, there are only three contestants left.

Among them, one is the winner and the other two are first runners up.

I will announce the first, first runner up.

Miss Korea '97, first runner up!

That honor goes to...

Number 24, winner of Miss Daegu, Miss Noh Hee Joo! Congratulations!

Now, please step forward.

The first runner up of Miss Korea will receive a cash award of 15 million won

and a Shin Young diamond necklace.

The winner of Miss Korea will receive a diamond crown instead of a necklace.

That was the first recipient of the first runner up.

Oh Ji Young, you little brat! I'm quite impressed. She's here until the very end.

Lucky brat!

It seems a little bit difficult to take off.

The crown seems to be a little heavy.

It looks like our Ji Young is going to get a proper birthday present!

It seems so.

Yes, once again congratulations. She was the first recipient of the first runner up.

Now we only have two contestants left.

Number 25, Miss Oh Ji Young and Number 27, Miss Kim Jae Hee.

Will both of you please step forward? Right here in the middle. Yes.

Thank you.

Number 25, Miss Oh Ji Young and Number 27, Miss Kim Jae Hee are the only ones left.

Among the two, one will be the winner and one will be the first runner up.

Now as soon as I announce the winner, the other person will

automatically be the first runner up, you know this right?

Yes, I do know.

You must not get confused when I announce the winner, okay?

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

We started with 52 contestants on this stage

and now the last two contestants are left.

I wonder how they feel right now. Miss Kim Jae Hee, how do you feel?

I'm very happy. Thank you so much for helping me get this far.

Yes, that was a very nice answer.

And I wonder how the other contestant is feeling right now?

Miss Oh Ji Young, how do you feel right now?

Ah, she seems to be very nervous. She's having a hard time responding.

Miss Oh Ji Young, it seems like a lot of your fans are here. Will you say a word to them?

Oh Ji Young!

Ji Young, only look at me.

Contestant number twenty...

five, second runner up of Miss Seoul, Oh Ji young, congratulations!
