Love this girl so much...really hoping for a breakthrough year for Miss Kang. She deserves it!

26 years old in "korean age" ? What does that mean?

I thought she was 24?

She is, technically. In Korea (and other parts of East Asia) there's a way of counting age where a person is already a year old from the moment they're born and then they age a year with every lunar new year (rather than their birthday). So East Asian age is something like = international age + 1 or 2 years.

I don't believe this has been posted, but if I'm mistaken, let me know and I'll delete:

This shot, from Oh Hein-kuhn's photo-series Girls Act (2001-2004), is titled "So-yeong Kang, age 16, 2003."

Four Up-And-Coming Fashion Models To Watch
Supergirls! Meet four new models who are poised to go the distance.
Photographed by Sebastian Kim

So Young Kang

age: 24

hometown: Seoul, Korea

big break: "I made my runway debut in the fall 2010 Chanel couture show in Paris. I first met Karl Lagerfeld at a fitting, and it was like meeting a movie star!"

body-image tip: : "I used to be extremely self-conscious about being so much taller than all the girls in my school—it really stressed me out. But once I started modeling and my height became a part of my job, I finally got over it."

grounding philosophy:: "No matter how big and famous you are, you can't produce a great shoot alone--it takes teamwork."
