10 years anniversary issue!

five Korean top models on the cover ; (from left) Song Kyung Ah known as "Song" in US and Europe) Jang Yoon Joo, Kim Won Kyung and Han Hye Jin (konwn as "Han" in US and Europe) and I cannot ID the one whose face is hidden by the supplements

The cover is very boring but I'm quite glad to see Korean models on the cover and it's not Hye Park who I dislike quite much

these pics are all from vogue.co.kr
Hye Park photographed by Ryoo Hyungwon

not a bad editorial but I am really sick of what they call "Koreanism"
it's such a cliché

^^I agree,its lovely to see Koerian models on a Vogue cover for a change,and they are beautiful!!

The cover is a bit beauty-pagenat like but they all look gorgeous.

 

[Whitelinen]

Too grey...boring.

 

[RoseMary]

[Moofins]

It's . . . .refreshing. not sure that is the word I'm searching for.

 

[Preahya]

it's getting late and I'm feeling tired/lazy so I don't feel like reuploading these.

Han on a Vogue cover

Does anyone have a better scan of the cover? Perhaps the fifth girl is Hye?

EDIT:

From the Korean Vogue website:

So, no Hye...I've no idea who it is though. Still, who has a bigger scan

I think it's a good idea for Vogue Korea to put Asian models on its cover since Vogue Japan and Vogue China hardly ever do! But I find the cover a bit bland, anyway.

 

[breathe.couture]

Beautiful cover !!!

 

[Monmonde]

I'm sorry I cannot ID the one who is sitting on the floor
But it's definitely not Hye Park. She isn't on the cover.

 

[oxymoron]

Song Kyung Ah!

Nice Hye editorial.

It's nice to see some Korean models on the cover.

 

[adorevintage]

Thanks for posting. I hope we see more mainstream Asian models soon.

sorry its a bit small
:Emailed

the one who is sitting there is the winner of I am a model (Korean's next top model.), Park Hee Hyun.

This is perhaps the wrong place to ask, but what would the names be of those models, when westernised. Like Song Kyung Ah, would that be Kyung Ah Song here? And Han Hye Jin, would that be Hye Jin Han, making Kyung and Hye their western firstnames, instead of Song and Han? Thanks

Oh, and that HQ is still welcome

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^Technically, yes, but it really depends on how their foreign agencies want their names to sound. Someone should definitely correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell from which sounds are actual common surnames, Hye Park and Ai Tominaga's names (As we know them) appear to be switched from their original Korean/Japanese order, while Du Juan and Han's names aren't

In Korea there is no second name, so their first names(=given name) are Hye-Jin, Kyung-Ah and Hye-Rim
