Miss Grand Korea 2021 was the fifth edition of the Miss Grand Korea beauty pageant, held on October 1, 2021, at the Daejeon Convention Center, Yuseong, Daejeon, where a twenty-five-year-old Dankook University graduate student from Seoul, Lee Ji-ho, was announced the winner. Ji-ho later represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2021 held in Thailand on December 2, but she was unplaced.
The contest featured twenty-two candidates, who qualified for the national pageant via an audition held earlier on September 9. 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.
Background An application for the Miss Grand South Korea 2021 was officially opened on April 19, 2021, with a deadline on May 16, and the grand final was initially scheduled for June 11 at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel, Seoul. 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, at a different venue, Daejeon Convention Center, Yuseong, Daejeon.
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.
