1. 16 of the fiercest, baddest high fashion models
More and more Asian models have been 'repping' the underserved, often unrecognized minority, strutting what their mamas gave them proudly on the high fashion runway. And we are happy to say that a number of these models hail from a Korean background! These ladies indeed deserve good pats on their backs--and a shout-out--for effortlessly rocking not only fierce styles but also fierce attitudes. And attitude is what really matters in the cutthroat world of fashion. They may not be the most beautiful ladies in the traditional sense but all sixteen of these ladies were able to get so far because they wore their bold attitudes like armor, breathing life into the fashion pieces they wear on the runway. To cut my long spiel short, these are not your average women. Both their attitudes and styles are refreshing, not to mention empowering. Now, click ahead to see just what I mean!
2. Hye Rim Park (Hye Park)
You know you are a born beaut when you got a total of three beauty marks on your face like Hye Rim Park.
3. Park Ji Hye
Park Ji Hye's got the searing gaze on lock.
4. Soo Joo
Soo Joo be rocking that white blonde hair like no other!
5. Jang Yoon Joo
Jang Yoon Joo said somebody called her the 'Korean Mulan' once and we gotta agree!
6. Han Hye Jin (Han Jin)
Han Hye Jin brings a new level of fierce to the 'blank stare.'
7. Song Kyung Ah
Red lipstick and smoky eye makeup is hard to rock at the same time but that's apparently not the case for Song Kyung Ah!
8. Hyoni Kang
Hyoni Kang was blessed with a face that never seems to age.
9. Kwak Ji Young
It's hard if not impossible to make the 'natural look' more natural than the gorgeous Kwak Ji Young.
10. Stephanie Lee
Loving the smoky, gothic style makeup!
11. Sera Park
Don't let Sera Park's sweet-looking countenance fool you. She's just as fierce--if not more so--as the others.
12. Lee Hye Seung
Lee Hye Seung's cheekbones look sharp enough to cut glass.
13. Kim Sung Hee
Yes, Asian models can also pull off the classy Audrey Hepburn look!
14. Kang So Young
Not everyone can pull off four different eye shadow hues like Kang So Young.
15. Ashley Kim
With this bright color scheme, Ashely Kim is set to brighten up our days.
16. Baek Ji Won
Baek Ji Won doesn't fit the traditional Korean beauty standards but she is still gorgeous!
17. Choi Ara
I don't know what shines brighter in this picture: Choi Ara or the jewels!
18. Bonus - Daul Kim
The OG blonde Korean high fashion model, Daul Kim had a promising career ahead of her, that is until she took her own life. RIP.
