Miss Grand Korea 2020 was the fourth edition of the Miss Grand Korea beauty pageant, held on August 15, 2020, at Grand Walkerhill Hotel, Gwangjin, Seoul, where a twenty-five-year-old Hanyang University student from Seoul, Lee Hyun-young, was announced the winner. Hyun-young later represented the country at the Miss Grand International 2020 held in Thailand in March 2021, but she was unplaced.
The contest featured thirty-six candidates, who qualified for the national pageant via an audition held earlier in July. The grand final round of the contest was hosted by Oh Hyun-Kyung, Tony Ahn, and Kim Jung-Geun, and was live-transmitted to the audience nationwide via a free-to-air television channel, OBS Gyeongin TV.
Background After acquiring the license of Miss Grand Korea in early 2020, the Korea Premium Brand Association (KPBA), with Kim Ho-Seong as the president, opened an application in July 2020, to elect the finalists for the Miss Grand Korea 2020 pageant; of all applicants, 127 were qualified for the interview section, where the number was narrowed down to 36. The scoring system in its final competition consisted of 30% from a public vote, 20% from a pageant camp held by the organizer, and the rest from the final judges' panel.
In addition to the contest held by KBPA, another contest with the same title, Miss Grand Korea 2020, was also held in late 2020, by a former Miss Grand International franchise holder for South Korea, 1L2H Company. However, due to a legal dispute over the trademark, 1L2H Company later renamed its affiliated pageant to Miss Glorize Korea.
