Seems like it was yesterday that I got an offer to be on a Korean TV show, but I realize it's now been awhile since the last episode of the show has been filmed. When I got the offer, the prospect of filming for a TV show baffled me, and added to that was the stresses and strains of shooting the first episode in NY instead of in Korea, for I was already exhausted from twenty-something castings per day in NY. At first, standing in front of the TV camcorder felt strange and awkward. But my love for the show soon began to grow, and in the process of filming, I met several model hopefuls. Then I rediscovered the humility that I had when I set out to become a model. Seven years--not a short stretch of time by any means--and so three months was too short of a period to teach them the tricks of the trade that I've learned through failure and success in those seven years. I'm just grateful to them for respecting me and listening to my advice notwithstanding the tight schedule. This show shouldn't be the measuring stick of whether they can make it in the industry. What this show did was in relatively a short time just presenting subjective opinions about them from those who started modeling a little earlier than they did. I hope that this has been a memorable experience for them and that they got something out of this show. When I see those twelve prospects next time, I hope that it would on the runway instead of in front of a camcorder. May the time we spent together be one to reminisce about for all of us (heard some said this has been an ordeal? Laughs).
