Rise of Asian Supermodels #1 - Ford's New Supermodel of the World: Seung-hyun Kang

It's said according to media cultural analysis (or so I've learnt) that the asian woman is the ultimate white men's sexual fantasy - exotic, svelte, submissive (supposedly so haha.. Don't quote me if you wanna dispute)

And if's that's the case, there's always one Asian starlet on the rise in the line of glamour every other year.

Go count - Gong Li, Kelly Hu, Lucy Liu, Ziyi Zhang... more preceding.

Whether it proves the theory or not, it seems that we're seeing two winners in recent world model contests in Asian women.

Flat noses, weird accent (or not) they don't matter no more.
Here's one most recent:

Seung-hyun Kang (Winner of Ford's World Supermodel 2008)
She reminds me a cousin.
In any case, I think her demure, exotic look is redefining!
