The contest featured twenty-two candidates,[7] who qualified for the national pageant via an audition held earlier on September 9.[8] Due to the spread of COVID-19 and to comply with government quarantine guidelines, the number of attendances was limited to fifty people, including staff, participants, and broadcast teams.[2]

Background

edit

An application for the Miss Grand South Korea 2021 was officially opened on April 19, 2021,[9][10] with a deadline on May 16,[11] and the grand final was initially scheduled for June 11 at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel, Seoul.[10] However, due to the daily increase in COVID-19-related confirmed cases in the country and the government social distancing guidelines, the event was rescheduled to October 1, with the pageant camp scheduled from September 29,[8] at a different venue, Daejeon Convention Center, Yuseong, Daejeon.[1][2][4]

After the deadline, an initial profile screening was performed to select the qualified applicants to face an actual audition held on September 9, when the twenty-two finalists for the pageant were declared.[8]
