Win Miss Cosmo 2024, Ketut Permata Juliastrid Even Feels Guilty

JAKARTA - Putri Indonesia Tourism 2024, Ketut Permata Juliastrid won the Miss Cosmo 2024 event which was held in October in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

This woman from Bali explained her feelings when she was announced to be the winner. Instead of being happy, Permata or Tata actually felt guilty because they felt they had hurt other participants.

"I remember that at the time of the crowning, I felt a feeling of guilt, not happiness. Because at night, maybe the happiest night for me was a painful night for other contestants," said Ketut Permata Juliastrid in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Monday, November 25.

"Maybe some of them have expectations that don't end there. So what I feel is a feeling of guilt," he continued.

However, this feeling was finally broken by other contestants who gave support to Permata by saying that he really deserved this victory.

"Then the next day they meet with other contestants for breakfast. And I remember the first thing they said to me was, you were very worthy and we were happy you got the crown, you got the first Miss Cosmo crown," explained Ketut Permata Juliastrid.

"I think it reflects how this contest really is, it's all about women's empowerment," he added.

This makes Permata feel grateful to be able to participate in this event with the guidance of the Puteri Indonesia Foundation. "And we have never competed with each other, but only within ourselves. So I am very lucky because I chose Miss Cosmo and Miss Cosmo also chose me," he added.

"I am very lucky to be under the right organization and I am very lucky to compete with women who have a very big heart and are there for themselves, not compete with other contestants, but with themselves," he said.
