Miss Finland of 2023 Paula Joukanen and her male friend known by the nickname Nacho were spending the evening in the night of Helsinki. Joukanen’s friend had a birthday, so the group had booked a table at a nightclub in the center of Helsinki.

The atmosphere in the nightclub was good, and Nacho marveled at how fun the atmosphere was at the table next to them.

– I thought it would be nice for Nacho to experience Helsinki’s nightlife, Joukanen tells Iltalehte.

Nacho, who comes from Venezuela, lives in the United States, and he visits Finland from time to time.

Joukanen says that Nacho decided to offer drinks to the group at the next table.

In English, Nacho asked the man, who seemed to be the object of the party, if Nacho could offer a drink.

– This man hit directly on the bottom, for no reason. Then there was a woman who said the man didn’t speak English and didn’t have any drinks.

– Nacho only wanted to be friendly when he was so happy that the group was doing well, and then the reaction is violence.

Joukanen and Nacho did not announce the matter further but continued the evening. According to Joukanen, Nacho generally avoids conflicts and because of that, he did not want to take the matter further.

– It’s a shame that there is such a picture of Finland’s nightlife, that it immediately comes to the balls.

Joukanen and Nacho got to know each other in March 2023. Both Joukanen and Nacho, who lives in Miami, are both successful tennis players. Joukanen has said that he is considering moving to the United States.
