Model ID Request

I found this image on the web (''Asian Eyes'' Google image search) and used it in my upcoming Asian-Sirens re-design. But now I'd like to know who the model is? Anyone? The text with the heavily photoshopped image is Korean I think. Names that were mentioned: Korean actresses Kim Hee-Sun and Kim Min-Hee.

Yeah, putting her face (whoever she is) in place of Francine's is definitely an improvement I think: Francine has just had too much facial surgery for my taste, however 'successful' the results may be.

I'm guessing she's almost certainly a Korean model working in South Korea - they have a lot of models who look like this, and their surgeons do really GREAT facial surgery. Even I often can't tell they've had it!

The text certainly looks Korean to me. I have no idea who the model is so can't help there. I disagree with Lee though and think that it makes sense to put up the face of a popular Asian model who is recognizable like Francine Dee rather than one who is unknown.

Thing is, Francine looks so much like, well, Francine. I think it is better to have a face that is more representative of oriental women in general.

She is a very famous actress in Korea. Her name is Jeon Ji Hyun. She is the main character in a very popular movie called "My Sassy Girl"

Damn, I think he's right! I thought she looked familiar - not that I am an expert on Korean actresses/models.

Definitely Jeon Ji Hyun as mentioned by jjack. One of the hottest Koreans at the moment imho. I just did a posting on her on Asian Sirens: My Sassy Girl Jeon Ji-hyun.

Enter the Google master! ;-)

Google is definitely one of my favorite tools ;-)

Talking about Asian Eyes, just have a look at some of her photos that can be found via Altavista, Google or Yahoo.

Interesting!

Truth be told I'm really tired of import models and American corporate glamour sites - I want something new and different! This is just the ticket.

Lee, I partly agree with you but the problem is that if you don't speak or read the Asian languages it is very difficult to learn more about them and to contact them. They are unreachable and therefore less interesting for most people.

Why should models be less interesting if they are unreachable? I think it could be a challenge to find out more about a mysterious model... But that's why I might agree with Lee. There is just so much info available on some of the import models. I call it overkill! ;-)

Ohw, and badboy, the idea is that in the end the topbanner could be Flash, and slides of different Asian models will be featured on it.

And again, I have to agree with Lee: I was looking for eyes that were more representative of oriental women in general. I don't think we need a 'famous' model. We feature enough of them on the site allready ;-)

I agree Robin but there are only a few that find it a challange. It is not a coincident that we found each other at Asian Sirens many years ago ;-)

I think the key reason for the very existence of Asian Sirens is to present information about models that would be very difficult for most (English speaking) people to find themselves.

Would be interesting to have our own asian sirens watcher in the various asian countries. Someone who knows the language and is interested in beautiful babes.

Tue, we are the minority! ;-)

Our reporter in Bankok, our reporter in Tokyo, or reporter in Shanghai! Would be great! Can I be the reporter in Vietnam then? ;-)

You'll have to learn Vietnamese first - I've got a head start on you there! ;-)

Hmmm... I'll teach them English! I allready have many contacts everywhere in 'Nam! ;-)

Well, I guess she is not unknown after all especially in South Korea! Maybe Asian Sirens can help make her more well known outside of Korea.

The one thing I don't like about that particular photo is the blue eye shadow. I am not a big fan of makeup to begin with but think that blue eye shadow does not look right on her. The photo also looks overprocessed to me making it look even less natural.
