Myanmar's Miss Grand director hints at joining Miss Cosmo after ban

Myanmar's national director for Miss Grand, Htoo Ant Lwin, has hinted at joining Miss Cosmo after receiving a lifetime ban from Miss Grand International. The ban followed an incident where he removed the crown from contestant Thae Su Nyein. Thae finished as second runner-up but returned her crown, citing dissatisfaction with the outcome for Myanmar. Htoo mentioned his "Plan B" during a recent interview, though it remains unclear if Thae will represent Myanmar in Miss Cosmo. Miss Grand International recently crowned Rachel Gupta from India, while the inaugural Miss Cosmo pageant crowned Ketut Permata Juliastrid from Indonesia. No official statements have been made by Htoo or Thae regarding their future plans.
