Kim Sa-rang (김사랑)

I like her name because sarang - 사랑 - means love in Korean. The 29-year-old was crowned Miss Korea in 2001 and subsequently went on to represent her country at the Miss Universe pageant in Puerto Rico.

She didn't walk away with the title (it went to Miss Puerto Rico) but Sa-rang bagged the title for Best National Costume. She wore an exquisite white hanbok with a flower motif (pic below).

The former beauty queen also ventured into acting and can be seen in movies and dramas. Locally, we saw her acting opposite Rain earlier this year in A Love to Kill.
