Choi won Miss Earth 2022, on November 29, 2022, representing South Korea. During the preliminary events, she won the swimsuit competition (Asia & Oceania),[12] beach wear competition (Air Group),[13] and long gown competition (Air Group).[14] Choi was the first Korean to win the Miss Earth title and one of the Big Four international beauty pageants.[15][16]

Entertainment career

[edit]

Following her win at Miss Earth, Choi entered the South Korean entertainment industry under the management of Global E&B. In 2022, she made her television debut as a contestant on the survival game show Battle for Tenancy: Penthouse, where she finished in seventh place. She later made a cameo appearance in the television drama DNA Lover (2024).[17]

In 2025, Choi signed an exclusive management contract with Chorokbaem Entertainment.[1]

In January 2026, Choi joined the cast of the reality dating program Single's Inferno (season 5). During the program, she described her approach to relationships in interviews conducted on the show, which became a focal point of viewer discussion. She received attention from several male contestants during the early episodes. After the first four episodes aired, Choi received a large volume of negative responses online, which led her to disable comments on her Instagram account. On 27 January 2026, her friend, Miss International 2022 Jasmin Selberg, publicly spoke in her defense. Selberg stated that Choi’s on-screen behavior reflected a role shaped by the program’s production and editing and emphasized a distinction between Choi's television persona and her personal character.[18][19]
