Irene Jang – representing Daejeon, South Korea at Miss Woman International 2025 World Final

I am Irene. I’m originally from Daejeon, South Korea, and now I live in Los Angeles, USA. I’m an independent woman who values kindness, intelligence, and peace. I bring a peaceful, bubbly, and caring energy wherever I go. I am constantly working to become the best version of myself, and I believe that staying true to who you are while spreading positivity is the most powerful way to connect with others and create real change.

1. How did you start your career in the world of fashion and modeling? I began my journey in the fashion world through a deep passion for self-expression and creativity. While I’m not a professional model by trade, I’ve always been drawn to fashion as a powerful way to tell stories without words. Over time, I became involved in modeling opportunities that aligned with my values and personal vision, which eventually led me to participate in events like Miss Europe Continental and Miss Woman 2025.

2. What are the main qualities that you think a model should have to be successful in the industry? Authenticity, discipline, and emotional strength. A successful model should not only care for her physical appearance but also develop her character. Qualities like kindness, resilience, and confidence are what truly stand out. It’s not just about how you look—it’s about how you carry yourself and how you make others feel.

3. What are the biggest challenges you have had to face in your career and how did you overcome them? One of the biggest challenges I faced was moving to a new country. Starting over in a completely different environment pushed me to embrace change, leave my comfort zone, and build inner strength. I overcame those challenges by focusing on personal growth, surrounding myself with positive people, and trusting in my journey.

4. How do you prepare for a photo shoot or a fashion show? Is there a special routine that you follow? I prioritize both physical and mental well-being. I stay active, eat clean, and practice mindfulness to stay grounded. Before a shoot or show, I like to take a quiet moment for myself—to calm my energy and reconnect with my purpose. Confidence and calm are essential parts of my preparation routine.

5. As a professional model, what advice would you give to young people who aspire to pursue this career? Be proud of who you are and never compare your path to anyone else’s. Believe in your own light and focus on evolving every step of the way. Stay kind, stay strong, and remember that true beauty always comes from within. The world needs your unique voice and presence.

6. What inspires you when you work on new projects in the fashion world? I’m deeply inspired by the diversity of people, cultures, and stories. Fashion is a universal language, a way to tell powerful stories and celebrate individuality. I’m especially drawn to projects that use fashion as a tool for empowerment and positive change.

7. In the context of Miss Woman 2025 in Tenerife, what does it mean to you to participate in an international beauty pageant? It’s both an honor and a dream.

Being part of it gives me the opportunity to represent my values on an international stage and to connect with inspiring women from around the world who are making a difference.
