Miss Grand International/Facebook </div>Miss Grand International just lost a second runner-up titleholder after Myanmar&#x27;s Thae Su Nyein publicly announced that she is returning her crown. In an Instagram live video, Thae said she is giving up her title because she felt robbed after not getting two special awards -- Best in National Costume and Country&#x27;s Power of the Year.The National Costume awards went to Brazil, Ecuador, and Honduras, while Thailand won as Country&#x27;s Power of the Year. &quot;I give back my second runner-up crown just because we don&#x27;t [sic] get what we deserve,&quot; she said in the video, which has been reposted in several pageant pages. &quot;I mean like our National Costume prize, our Country Power of the Year, not the winner crown.&quot; Thae went on to stress that she has nothing against newly crowned Miss Grand International Rachel Gupta of India and CJ Opiaza of the Philippines.&quot;I love India, I love Philippines. They&#x27;re my best of sister of all the time [sic],&quot; she said. &quot;I don&#x27;t blame them.&quot; Explaining her outburst after the coronation night, Thae said she felt sorry for her countrymen after all their efforts for her to make a mark as Myanmar&#x27;s representative in Miss Grand International.She also reiterated that the decision to give back her second runner-up crown was something she made on her own. &quot;I&#x27;m not controlled by anyone.&quot;&quot;In that hall, a lot of Myanmar flags over there. I can see from the stage, a lot of people are crying, a lot of my people are crying, my Burmese people are crying,&quot; Thae recalled. &quot;How am I feeling? How can I stay happy with that crown?&quot;&quot;So I started crying because I feel sorry for them, I feel sad for them, not because I don&#x27;t [sic] get the winner crown,&quot; she said. &quot;I&#x27;m not fighting for the winner crown, I&#x27;m fighting for my country.&quot; Miss Grand International has yet to release a statement on the matter, but many have noticed that Thae is no longer included in the pageant&#x27;s posts about its reigning queens. Aside from Gupta and Opiaza, this year&#x27;s winners include the third- and fourth runners-up from France and Brazil, respectively, and five fifth runners-up.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/10/25/india-wins-miss-grand-international-2024-ph-bet-cj-opiaza-is-1st-runner-up-2339">India wins Miss Grand International 2024; PH bet CJ Opiaza is 1st runner-up</a></div>
