According to Chinese media such as the Peng Pai Shimbun, the award ceremony for the 「28th International Model Conference China General Election」 was held in Shenzhen on the 16th.
However, the 15th contestant with the `Guangdong Champion in Women' trophy was embroiled in a controversy.
The participant was an old-looking woman who walked on stage wearing a crown and a champion's belt and thanked the audience and the judges. His face was full of confidence and pride, but his full body shape seemed different from other participants and other model competitions.
When a nine-second video of the scene spread online, netizens said, `How did you become a champion?," he questioned. In response, the tournament's organizers said "The event was sponsored by several companies, and we are currently aware of online reactions, and we will summarize the relevant situation and announce our official position later."
The competition was organized by the Organizing Committee of the International Model Contest and co-organized by four companies in Shenzhen.
Three companies, including foreign companies, participated as sponsors. However, the companies `only sponsored the amount, and did not engage in the running of the tournament"It seems to be drawing a line from the fraudulent examination.
Meanwhile, model Li Fuhong, who finished third in the national final of the 2016 international supermodel competition, was invited to be a judge of the competition, but posted his position on social media, saying, `I did not judge any awards due to special circumstances, and it has nothing to do with the controversial 'Guangdong Champion'.'
A beauty industry expert who visited the site said, `There were dozens of models at the site, and there were definitely participants who were outstanding in appearance," he said.
The controversy raises questions about the fairness and operational transparency of the competition, and the organizers' explanations are drawing attention in the future.
