Hanul Jeon

Hanul Jeon

While researching Hooters restaurants in Asia for last month's entry, I happened across some photos of 24-year-old student and former Seoul Hooters Girl, Hanul Jeon.

Hanul (who also goes by "Hannah") worked in Seoul's Apgujung Hooters until March of last year. In May, she moved to Sydney, Australia, where she's been working as a waitress in a Japanese restaurant, while going to school to study Spanish. Even though she's undecided about continuing with her modeling, she eagerly agreed to be featured here.

Hanul has a very bright and outgoing personality. During my brief interview with her, she told me she loved the experience of being a Hooters girl, especially during Halloween when they dressed in costumes. When asked if the implied nude shot in her Benetton gallery was just a one-time thing just for the contest, she told me it was "just for fun" but she wouldn't rule out doing a semi or full nude photo shoot in the future.

Check out my full interview with Hanul here.

A very, very average girl IMHO.

While I think you're being generous Dr. Lee, I found myself laughing at "very, very average." Is it possible to be "very" and "average"? Is that like being extremely moderate? it's my bedtime, obviously.

nope2: you interpreted my comments correctly. :-)

I like the 6th picture of her in the nightclub best. In some of the other pictures, it's a bit of a stretch to say Hanul is a "siren", more of a cute girl next door type perhaps?

i agree that the 6th pic is the best. the 5th with the wings makes her look manly or something. overall not for me

SHe's just one good reason for going to Hootoers in Seoul.

I have to agree with some of you...the club scene phoo is the best photo of her...

Her facial expression is abojut the same in all the photo...I suggest to try different emotions. She seems to really try though....

Maybe the makeup isn't too flattering..needs to find a way to have the makeup enhance her look.

Actually Nancy, you may be right: Korean girls are usually very good with makeup, and their faces often really benefit from it. Perhaps with the right makeup she could be a siren after all (her body isn't bad, though hardly outstanding).


Posted by: Dr. Lee on Mar 12, 11 | 5:06 am

I really like her natural look a lot.

No unnecessary PS, just a healthy looking and natural girl that looks good without any makeup.

A lot of these 'sirens' you see are made up and plastic surgeried to death.

Hanul looks beautiful with makeup and glamoured up but I also appreciate a woman that looks naturally pretty and wholesome au natural.

I think she looks Ok! If I were to see her in person, I would probably like it a lot. She has a sort of a Lady GaGa look about her. May be her nose and hair style.

I find it hard to criticize any young lady that wants to show off her body and express her sexuality. And, as beauty is in the the eye of the beholder, sometimes it's better to just say nothing...


Posted by: AmericanArsenal on Mar 12, 11 | 6:55 am

@Strout: actually, she is wearing makeup - it just isn't very good.

My preference for seeing women without makeup and Photoshop is well known, but I do think this girl could really benefit from a little extra help.


Posted by: Dr. Lee on Mar 12, 11 | 7:52 am

I'm not sure about this one.

The photography doesn't seem to help much, either.


Posted by: Osakadave on Mar 12, 11 | 12:42 pm

I see so many A-S posts that go wild over girls every bit as "average" as this one, the only difference being they have the benefit of lighting, professional photography, digital manipulation, tons of makeup and surgery.

Even knowing that, she's not my type.


Posted by: luvjgirls on Mar 12, 11 | 6:06 pm

Good thing she's going to school and pursuing something other than modeling.

.....face problem....

I'm not going to pile on here, although I wouldn't mind piling on her:-)
