May Myat Noe Aung, who won the 2014 Miss Asia Pacific World beauty pageant representing the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, was recently dethroned in August by the MAPWO committee for lying about her age and for not cooperating with the committee, ignoring their requests and acting out on her own during her stay in Korea. 15-year-old Aung then took the crown and sash with her back to her home country despite being dethroned, and told the press that she did not receive money from the commercials she filmed, that she was forced into having plastic surgery, and was forced to perform sexual favors to fund her album release in Korea.

The MAPWO has denied that any of these claims are true, saying that Aung profited around 20-30 million won (approx. $19-29,000 USD) in commercials, had signed a consent form to have plastic surgery on her breasts, and was never forced to perform sexual favors. The MAPWO is now filing criminal charges and suing the young girl and her mother for reporting these false claims to the world and thus damaging the reputation of the competition, its sponsors, and the country in general.

The MAPWO Committee has stated, "May Myat Noe Aung has ruined the reputation and brand of the Miss Asia Pacific World Organization so greatly that the return of the crown or even her death would not solve this problem. She also has ruined the relationship between Myanmar and South Korea. This has caused a strain on business relations between the two countries as well. �Furthermore, she is the prime reason for the decline in the cultural interchange between Asian countries."�

They continued to demonstrate the inconsistencies in her statements, saying, "She has persistently lied in fluent Korean saying, 'I was forced into getting surgery.' But at the press conference she stated, 'I never got surgery.' In an interview on MBC TV Korea's 'Real Story Eye', she stated, 'When my mother and I signed the consent operation agreement, I thought it was Medical Check. I didn't know the meaning of the signature.' Through this false interview, she has deceived the entire world press making South Korea the laughing stock of the world."
