How did you get into modelling?
I’ve always had an interest in it, I just decided to give it a go! I’ve been modelling just over a year.
Favourite modelling job you’ve done so far?
I like all of them, I like photo shoots the best though.
If you weren’t modelling, what would you be doing?
I’m only modelling part time and I like it that way. I still go to school – I love school! I really do. Modelling is fun but I really want to be an architect.
Where’s your dream modelling destination?
I would love to go back to Korea and model there.
What about your dream modelling job?
A Chanel campaign.
What’s your least favourite thing about modelling?
There’s so much waiting. I hate waiting.
What’s the first job you ever booked?
The first job I ever did was a beauty job, I think… Shot by Melissa Findlay. My first runway job was a show at The Department Store.
What’s something people wouldn’t necessarily know about you?
I’m not a high heel girl. The first time I ever wore high heels was at my first fashion show (The Department Store one).
Do you have a favourite colour?
I like bright colours.
Favourite models?
Internationally, Sasha Pivovarova and Hyoni. My favourite New Zealand model is Emily Baker.

A laptop and some socks from Karen Walker.
You’re one of the faces of the New Zealand Fashion Festival – what do you think about that?
It’s great! We had to dance around for the shoot, it was so fun. I think I got booked because of my dancing skills!
