Three winners of the 2015 Miss Korea pageant were named promotional ambassadors for the Military Manpower Administration (MMA), the country’s conscription agency said Monday.

They are first-place winner Lee Min-ji, 25, and runner-ups Kim Jeong-jin, 21, and Kim Ye-rin, 20. They will participate in various events to promote the importance of military duty.

“Miss Korea has a duty to actively contribute to society,” said Lee. “I will try my best to promote the MMA and make a society where military service will be viewed as a proud accomplishment.”
