From the Style File blog over at Style.com:

make me a supermodel


Korea's Seung-hyun Kang catwalked to the grand prize in last night's Ford Supermodel of the World finale, beating out 48 other girls for the 250K Ford modeling contract. In an industry where you can count the successful Asian faces on one hand, Kang's victory (she's Ford's first Far East winner) will hopefully open doors for more girls like her. Now in its 28th year, the Ford Supermodel contest was the original platform for unknown faces to compete for a chance to pursue their modeling dreams. How does it stay relevant in the face of countless "make me a model" programs? The company launched its own series of televised contests in 21 countries last year, including Korea, where girls competed to represent their country in the finale. But don't expect Ford winners to go the way of television's other top models—contracts have been awarded to past contestants Chanel Iman (on hand last night to present Kang with her contract), Camilla Finn, and Adriana Lima.

It's nice to see Hyoni (or Seung-Hyun) getting all this public attention. On a more personal level I'm already counting the days until she can be known as the 2008 Supermodel of the World, rather than the first Asian winner of the contest.

She's included in Ford's show package for New York Fashion Week FW2008.

^ Could just be the shoes? 8.5 shoe doesn't sound so big for someone her height.

Great work, thanks for posting those so quickly for everyone! I couldn't tell if it was airbrushing before, but Hyoni really has the most beautiful skin. Great complexion and texture to it!

Cute!

Love her! She has this adorable thing to her look. Abit like Trentini.

I stress my comparison of her body to Laragh Mcann.


style
Her new polaroids are an improvement and shes looking much more modelesque. It could be a combo of her not smiling like in the other photos and her in typical model attire of dark jeans, and muted sleeveless tops.

I hope she does well!
