MAY bagong owner na ang Miss Universe Organization (MUO) matapos ipagbili sa isang media and content conglomerate from Thailand.
Mula sa International Marketing Group (IMG), napunta na ang organisasyon sa Thai-owned conglomerate na JKN Global Group sa pamumuno ni Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip.
Si Jakrajutatip ay isang Thai transgender woman at chief executive officer ng JKN.
Proud na binandera ni Anne sa isang Instagram post ang balita at sinabing, “Bring yourself into the positive Harmony of the universe and allow the 100% good energy into your life from now on.
“Yes, I own it all…Yes, I am the sole owner 100%…Yes finally the universe is ours…Are you ready to move forward with Ann?”
Matatandaang inanunsyo ng dating may-ari ng Miss Universe Organization na binebenta niya ito sa halagang $20 million o mahigit P1.17 billion.
Samantala, naglabas din ng official statement ang JKN sa kanilang website at sinabing lubos nilang ikinararangal na makatrabaho ang team ng MUO.
“We are incredibly honored to be acquiring The Miss Universe Organization and working with its visionary leadership team. The global reach of the Organization, its relationships with global partners and brands, and its wealth of content, licensing, and merchandising opportunities make this a strong, strategic addition to our portfolio,” Sey sa pahayag.
Hindi lang daw nila ipagpapatuloy ang “legacy” at “platform” ng organisasyon, kundi lalo pa raw nila itong palalaguin.
Saad ng grupo, “JKN shared its plans for generating additional value based on the natural strength of the Miss Universe brand, including the upcoming debut of MU Lifestyle: a new licensing and merchandising arm of The Miss Universe Organization that will leverage the strength of the Miss Universe brand and JKN’s lifestyle portfolio to create a new range of merchandise, as well as entertainment and various business opportunities that reflect the strength of the brand.”
Matutuloy pa rin sa Jan. 14, 2023 ang inaabangang Miss Universe pageant na magaganap sa New Orleans, Louisiana sa Amerika, kung saan nakatakdang lumaban ang ating pambato na si Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi.
