#MissUniver2019 TOP 5 MOST FOLLOWED ON INSTAGRAM - MISS UNIVERSE 2019
In December 2018, Filipino politician and businessman Chavit Singson, who financed Miss Universe 2016, stated that the 2019 edition of the pageant would be held in Seoul, South Korea, which previously hosted Miss Universe 1980. He added that he would assist in preparations for holding the competition in South Korea, although the details were not finalized; the Miss Universe Organization had never confirmed this.
Later, in April 2019, it was reported that both the Philippines and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil had become interested in hosting the competition as well. Interest in the Philippines grew following the win of Filipina Catriona Gray in Miss Universe 2018, looking to have her crown her successor in her home country, much like Pia Wurtzbach did at Miss Universe 2016. Meanwhile, Rio de Janeiro will be declared the World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO for 2020, and is reportedly looking to host more international events in the city in anticipation of this title.
In May 2019, Richelle Singson-Michael, the daughter of Chavit Singson, stated that the Philippines were one of several countries who were bidding to host the 2019 competition, and that her family's business LCS Group were committed to hosting in either the Philippines or South Korea.
The Miss Universe Organization has made no statements regarding where the competition will be hosted as of August 10, 2019.
