At the event, Mr. Nawat shocked everyone by declaring: "Don't copy Miss Universe, this competition is unique and 'one-of-a-kind' with Miss Grand International."
He also clearly distinguished the styles of the two competitions: "If you like entertainment and fun, watch Miss Grand International. But if you prefer elegance and sophistication, go for Miss Universe."
Miss Universe President Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip also affirmed the brand development strategy based on the beauty pageant, media platform, and commercial products. "Miss Universe is not just an annual competition, but also a symbol of women's empowerment," she shared.
