Q&A: Min-Hee Hong
Part I: The Interview

Ktown213: Hello Min-Hee, give our viewers your 30-second intro!
Min-Hee Hong: Hey Ktown213, what's up? My name is Min, I'm stuck in La Crosse going to school...some one save me from the Midwest!  Just kidding, it's not bad. Art and rock music are my life.

KT213: So tell us, what made you decide to give modeling a shot?
MH: Hmmm, a lot of people, including the ones I didn't even know, kept coming up to me asking me if I would give it a shot, or that I should give it a shot. So I figured why not? It might be something that's really fun!  So here I am!

KT213: Most of the models featured on our site are labeled as �import models.� How come you didn�t follow that route?
MH: There is no import scene where I am at, so I really don't care for it, I don't know that much about import cars to begin with, ha ha.  I don't know anything about cars except how to change the tire, oil, and a few other things. I don't know how different I am from import models, because I really don't know import models up close and personal. I stick to doing promotions and fashion, well, fashion for those that think my height isn't an issue. For me as an art student, modeling is all about aesthetics. Modeling isn't about cars, money, and etc.  It's creation, expression, and imagination. The previous spotlight Najin Jun understood this, and she was an awesome artist herself!

KT213: Have your friends and family been supportive of your modeling career?
MH: Oh yes, it was mostly family that pushed me into the agency. At first I was hesitant, but my mother really wanted me to give it a shot. But this is even funnier, my dad wanted me to try beauty pageants, at which I would just look at him and laugh. My friends have been really supportive. I guess you could say I am very lucky to have the support of those I care and respect the most.

KT213: Where would you like to see yourself five years from now?
MH: Hopefully graduating from grad school and getting into a career I look forward to every morning when I get up. Or else I'm still going to be stuck in grad school cramming thick books, sucking down caffeine, and praying for graduation.

KT213: So what�s there to do in your home state? Any hobbies of interest?
MH: Ha ha, there's not much to do here. The best place to hit up is "the warehouse" where all the up and coming punk/rock/alternative bands play. I'm a coffee shop freak, I love coffee. It's an addiction. If you like winter sports you'll love my home state, you can ski, skate, and snowboard 'til your heart's content.

KT213: I know you haven't been to K-Town yet, but will you be visiting soon?
MH:  Yes, I will be visiting for sure. I have family in LA, and I hope to go visit them and hang out soon. I would have no idea where to go, but that makes it more fun.

KT213: What are your turn-on�s and turn-off�s?
MH: Hmm turn-ons are dimples, awesome smiles, open personalities, artistic people, video gamers!  My turn offs are heavy conservatives, guys with huge muscles, (don't know why, just don't care for that bulging neck and shoulders look), hmmm, I really don't have that many turn offs sorry...

KT213: Where can we see more of you? Any upcoming projects?
MH: I have a couple up coming projects that deal with street fashion in Seoul, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. I'll have to let you know where you can find me later on, because I'm not even sure, ha ha.

KT213: Min-Hee, we thank you for your time, and good luck with your career!
MH: Thanks for having me as a spotlight, best of luck to all of you in K-Town!
