Quotes

“For me, Korea was an escape zone, I had a fantasy about Korea. I was an outsider back in the U.S. and I felt more connected to Korea.”

“I think the food I ate in the States made me tall […] My genes obviously played a huge role, too.”

“Debuting with Elite Model Management was the grand prize of America’s Next Top Model. It was the only agency that I knew. And I just went there and asked ‘I want to be a model, how do I do it?’ And they said, ‘OK, I will show you how. You can sign here,’ and I said OK.”

“People in Korea and in America find different charms in me. Koreans like me for a global and international look and some Asian essence, but in the eyes of Western people, I look totally Asian with some Western-style features.”

“Modeling is a job with a scent. Every model has his or her scent and characteristic that they expose to the public. Modeling allows me to find my charms within myself rather than invent one because a model is a selling item. I also found many ‘scents’ of mine through modeling.”

“In the very first commercial I filmed, I played the opposite of [Gong Yoo], a ‘girlfriend’ role. I was much younger at the time, and my heart fluttered just at the fact that we were filming date scenes. At the time, I hadn’t met many actors at all, but I was standing next to the amazing Gong Yoo of all people. He was really cool.”
