The Miss International Beauty Pageant, first held in 1960, is one of the Big Four international beauty pageants ― the others are Miss World, Miss Universe and Miss Earth.

With 70 contestants around the world, Seo will be involved in culture exchanges and activities to promote women's rights.

The contest will take place at Tokyo Dome City Hall on Nov. 9.

"I am glad to be on the stage of Miss International as a representative of Korea," Seo said before her flight. "I am a bit nervous, but I will go and show off my own beauty of Korea."
