Korean fashion model, Kang Seung-hyun, has won the Ford Models’ “Supermodel of the World” contest recently. The U.S. media praised her looks and walk as the best, named her the ‘pearl of the Orient’. Kang won US$250,000 in prize money and signed a three-year contract with Ford Models, one of the top modelling agencies in the US, founded by Jerry and Eileen Ford.

The freshman in the modelling department at Dongduk Women’s University has moved into an exclusive apartment for models provided by Ford. She said, “People here say I’m beautiful or perfect. I never thought so in Korea. All the praise makes me feel I’m pretty…’

She added: ‘Preparing to be picked as the Korean representative for the Ford contest in September, I walked for hours along the Han River in the summer wearing a winter jumper. I lost 5kg in two months.’
