Withdrew
Originally, the winner of the contest, Park Serim, was expected to represent South Korea at the international parent stage held in Venezuela on October 25,[1][4] but withdrew due to the deteriorating political situation and safety concern in the host country.[5] Park was then sent to compete at the Miss Global 2019 pageant instead.[6] After being unable to send a delegate to join the international contest, 1L2H Company later lost the franchise to the Korea Marriage Bureau and Korea Premium Brand Association the following year.[7]
The national finalists of Miss Grand Korea 2019 were determined through the regional auditions held by the central organ three times.[8][9] The first two auditions were held in the capital, Seoul on June 6 and June 15, while another happened in Daejeon on June 22.[9] The candidates who qualified via the audition then entered the training camp. In case of withdrawal, the remaining regional participants would be promoted as the replacements.[9]
