Choi Soon-hwa, an 81-year-old South Korean fashion model, participated in the Miss Universe Korea pageant in Seoul. She won the "Best Dresser" award, but did not win the top honor, which went to 22-year-old Han Ariel. Choi had hoped to represent South Korea at the Miss Universe pageant, but was instead awarded a prize in a qualifying heat.

    Choi Soon-Hwa
    1. I want people to look at me and realise that you can live more healthily and find joy in life … and challenge yourself to achieve that dream.
    2. During my years as a single parent of two kids I would wear the same clothes for as long as 20 years.
    3. One of my patients told me to try modelling. I thought it was nonsense… but at the same time, it awoke my old dream of becoming a model, wearing pretty clothes and doing photoshoots. So, I said, 'Yes, I used to dream of that before, I should try it'.
    4. After raising children and going through hardships, it's just two people left, and that's when you need to find what you want to do.
    5. Even at this age, I had the courage to grab on to an opportunity and take on a challenge.
