The study was conducted on judges and organizers of beauty contests in South Gyeongsang Province. According to a survey of 203 people, most were women in their 20s, who were highly educated (four-year college graduation or enrollment), and there were many people who were not married. There were many people who were active in the beauty field. According to the research results, caring for participants in the operation and service sectors of the competition was recognized as the biggest problem, and it was difficult to connect with various competition events in terms of education. In terms of cultural value, there was a perception that it did not meet the international level. The opinion that the focus should be on competition events and education as an improvement measure prevailed. In particular, there was a strong opinion that the promotion of competition regulations and screening regulations was necessary in advance. In addition, it was suggested that the development of competition events to improve participants' practical skills and the establishment of networks to attract foreign participants are important. Lastly, people with a lot of experience in beauty contests showed high awareness of the competition events and plans to improve education. The results of this study can be used as important information for the development of beauty contests in Korea.
