The results of the "Miss Seventeen 2025" audition, an exclusive model for the teen media magazine "Seventeen" (Shueisha), have been announced, with third-year junior high school student Hanano Harada selected as one of the six winners. The winner was unveiled at the fashion and music event "Rakuten GirlsAward 2025 AUTUMN/WINTER," held at Makuhari Messe (Mihama Ward, Chiba City) on October 18th.
Harada was born on April 4, 2010, and is 15 years old and hails from Hiroshima Prefecture. In 2023, she won the grand prize at the 3rd Star☆Audition, an audition sponsored by Stardust Promotion, and entered the entertainment industry. She made her drama debut in the October 2024 Fuji TV drama series "My Precious," playing the protagonist played by Wakana Matsumoto in his middle school years, and was also selected as the 14th image girl for Waseda Juku.
She remained a finalist in Miss Seventeen, as she did last year, and this time she was crowned the winner. "After trying for the second time since last year, I finally achieved my dream of becoming a Seventeen model! In order to get as many people as possible to know about me, I put in all my effort, posting on social media every day without fail and putting even more effort into posing and skin care. So when I heard I had passed, I hugged my mother and burst into tears. My next goal is to become a model who is respected not only for her appearance but also for her inner self. First of all, I will actively take on any challenge so that people will know about my individuality and personality!"
