This record-breaking participation follows recent changes by the Miss Universe Organization, which removed restrictions on age, marital status, and motherhood for its candidates.

Reports say that while her family initially questioned her decision, they later offered full support, acknowledging that Choi had set aside her own dreams for the sake of her family.

Though her competitors may have the advantage in youthful looks, Choi brings the wisdom and resilience of a life filled with experiences.

Born during World War II and a survivor of the Korean War, Choi is not only a mother and grandmother but also a professional model.
