Becoming a supermodel takes skills

08smc13.jpg

At the 2007 Supermodel competition, the hopeful contestants proved that they were more than just a pretty face. They had a chance to show off their multiple talents such as….

posing, squatting, dressing, doing the splits, hiding, fanning, dancing, and exfoliating, stretching, hopping and putting on shoes. All the skills you need to be the best supermodel in Korea. And I thought that all you needed was just a pretty face.

    being a model ain’t easy eh ?

    It’s soo hard putting on shoes. I may come off a bit rude, but I don’t think those girls have the prettiest faces. Honey Lee’s prettier than them, and I don’t really like her. ^o^

    the one with the green sac-things for exfloting skin looks like a man

    the girls don’t really look pretty, plus they’re so flat. they have no humps or lumps.

    i don’t think u need to be pretty to be a supermodel…there are runway models that aren’t attractive looking at all and they are still high fashion models…they just need a nice body cuz they are modeling the clothes, not their face.

    one of the girls’ chest is so obviously padded. hmm i wonder if they are prettier with makeup and stuff cause these girls look very normal in the pics.

    You don’t need a pretty face, just a nice body. I mean just look at that girl who fell on the runway.

    supermodels aren’t always pretty
    save pretty for the celebs

    supermodels have to be tall,thin, and have a small fave with unique features..great bone structure.

    ^ i agree with U

    Whoever said supermodels had to be pretty? They just need to be super tall and skinny.

  11. 11 Se7enFan August 6, 2007 at 10:00 am

    I’m telling you I am no fashion expert…but the stuff coming out of Korea has me going 0_0…weeeiiirddd!!!

  12. 12 jjen August 6, 2007 at 10:18 am

    Wearing socks on your hands is a talent?

  13. 13 PopSeoul Lover! August 6, 2007 at 10:37 am

    ha ha the article is soo funnyy!! I was laughing so hard.

    on the serious note, i don’t think being a model is that easy. They have extreme pressure to look good all the time and most have eating disorders. They are flat bc they are thin. If models are thin and have breasts, that’s bc they had surgery to improve it.

    I think the no. 1 priority to be a model is height. Look at Claudia Schiffer – I wouldn’t say she’s pretty, yet she was a top model.

  15. 15 nincom August 6, 2007 at 10:47 am

    one of them is a fatty…

    but she’s not bad looking. :|

  16. 16 manisy August 6, 2007 at 11:23 am

    eww flat chest , flat flatt

  17. 17 Eve August 6, 2007 at 11:31 am

    okay well I didn’t know exfoliating and squatting were skills O.o

  18. 18 pekpekjuice August 6, 2007 at 11:57 am

    u knoe for sure they didnt have plastic surgery because they are f**kin uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

  19. 19 IMO August 6, 2007 at 12:13 pm

    Well, I’d rather have natural or ‘ugly’ (as most of you have been calling them) models that better represent the true Korean look rather than a model industry full of plastics. Anyway, it’s not like models are selling their face~

  20. 20 haejin August 6, 2007 at 12:22 pm

    ahaha they all look ridiculous xD

  21. 21 PD August 6, 2007 at 12:57 pm

    The losers that call these women ugly…would have absolutely no chance in ever dating any of them.

    Seems like sour grapes to me…

  22. 22 bebetama August 6, 2007 at 2:24 pm

    Are you serious? Is it a show or what? Cuz it doesn’t seem serious. Since when you have to dancing,hoping,hiding(???)…to become a supermodel?

  23. 23 haejin August 6, 2007 at 2:33 pm

    nincom-
    if you’re talking about the girl in the 5th picture, thats her ribcage sticking out of her body not fat =D

  24. 24 Kelly August 6, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    What is she wearing on her hands? I’ve seen them before.. but I don’t know what they are.

  25. 25 mrod August 6, 2007 at 3:02 pm

    i have a prettier face than these girls. but they’ve got me beat in the green sock wearing portion.

  26. 26 Dovey August 6, 2007 at 3:42 pm

    What is hiding? Unless you’re talking about hiding behind something…

  27. 27 popseoul August 6, 2007 at 5:06 pm

    fyi- the green “socks” are actually the traditional scrubbers or exfoliating cloths that you use when going to the public bath to get a scrub-down.

  28. 28 xiao August 6, 2007 at 7:18 pm

    You don’t have to be “pretty” to be a supermodel. You have to have unqiue features than just a plain pretty “boring” face.

  29. 29 OMG! August 6, 2007 at 7:41 pm

    you know, my babe honey lee put it best – the prettiest face shouldn’t win. she felt in her case, the girl with the best possible talent to showcase korean culture and beauty should be picked to win miss korea. she said it was pathetic that some of the contestants were lip syncing to songs in their “talent” portion. i think this applies to supermodels too. show some personality, show some panache. show something. of course, if you are as hot as someone like marissa miller, then you just have to look good… haha.

  30. 30 destin.asian August 6, 2007 at 10:48 pm

    Why doesnt Korea have their own version of “America’s Next Top Model”, provided they dont already have, I mean all the other countries are doing it.

  31. 31 mawee August 6, 2007 at 11:49 pm

    ridiculous is the right word yes. and I thought that U just needed to be photogenic and very good in walking in runway to be a model – the skills needed, heehee

  32. 32 Mike August 7, 2007 at 1:43 am

    korea should promote…the brazilian butt and nice curves as beauty.

  33. 33 Leigh August 7, 2007 at 3:08 am

    what happened to that girl’s face…she shouldnt even be on stage in the first place….model???

  34. 34 umm! August 7, 2007 at 11:45 am

    Lol.Honey Lee is too short to be a Super Model!
    Almost Korean SM is above 176cm!

  35. 35 Da Pimp August 30, 2007 at 11:59 am
