Thae Su Nyein has in turn requested to return her crown and not accept the position.
The pageant oranizer’s official announcement states, “The Miss Grand International Organization has decided to revoke the title of 2nd Runner Up from Miss Grand International Myanmar, Ms.Thae Su Nyein due to inappropriate behaviour and actions that violated several regulations.”
Su Nyein declared on Facebook Live that no one controls her, and she doesn’t agree with the results because she deserved the Miss Grand International crown, which India’s Rachel Gupta won. Su Nyein said, “I am not controlled by anyone. I just take my own decision. I give back my second runner-up crown just because of we don’t get. What we deserve is I mean like our National Costume prize, our Country Power of the Year, not the winner crown [sic].”
The 18-year-old added that she loved her fellow participants; however, she would not accept the results. “I am not blaming on my sisters. I love India, I love the Philippines. They are my best sisters of all the time. I don’t blame them. I am just saying our National Costume prize and our Country Power figure, not the winner crown. I am not taking it,” she added. “I came to win first place and believe I deserved a higher position.”
The National Costume awards went to Brazil, Ecuador, and Honduras, while Thailand won as Country’s Power of the Year.
A video that has surfaced online shows Miss Myanmar Thae Su Nyein being crowned as the second runner-up of Miss Grand International 2024. As she walked down the stage, Myanmar national director Htoo Ant Lwin can be seen snatching the crown off her head and throwing away her sash. Thae Su Nyein was seen crying and then being escorted out of the event.
The first runner-up is Miss Grand Philippines Christine Juliane Opiaza, third runner-up Miss Grand France Safietou Kabenguele and fourth runner-up Miss Grand Brazil Talita Hartmann, Amarin TV said.
There are five fifth runners-up as follows: Miss Grand Spain, Miss Grand Peru, Miss Grand Indonesia, Miss Grand Dominican Republic and Miss Grand England.
