"Even at this age, I had the courage to grab onto an opportunity and take on a challenge. I want people to look at me and realize 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. I want you to do exactly that."

STORYLINE:
81-year-old South Korean woman Choi Soon Hwa has competed in the finals of the Miss Universe Korea pageant.

Choi was up against 31 other participants for a chance to participate in the Miss Universe final, scheduled to take place in Mexico this November. Although she didn’t win, she was named Best Dresser.

Choi began modeling when she was 72 and said on Monday that she wanted to make an international debut. "I couldn’t find a path, I couldn’t see a path. When I heard the Miss Universe lifted the upper age limit, I thought to myself that this was an opportunity."

Miss Universe recently lifted the upper age limit and also updated eligibility, allowing mothers and married women to participate in the pageant.

"Even at this age, I had the courage to grab onto an opportunity and take on a challenge. I want people to look at me and realize that you can live healthier when you find things you want to do and challenge yourself to achieve that dream," said Choi.
