Q&A: Susan Hutchison
Part I: The Interview

Ktown213:  Hi Susan, give our Ktown213 viewers your 30 second intro!
Susan Hutchison:  Hey guys, I�m Susan and I�m currently in sunny So Cal. I currently attend college studying Biochemistry and nuclear medicine. I also work with children helping them in areas of school that trouble them. When I�m not doing these things, I�m usually doing some kind of modeling, shows, or projects.

Kt213:  Give us a little background of where you're from Susan.
SH:  Right after I was born in Seoul, Korea, my family and I started moving around the world. My father was in the military and so we�ve been everywhere. When I was in 6th grade I moved back to Korea for another 5 years, and that�s when all the modeling started for me. I used to walk around Apkujung and Kang Nam and the model scouts used to hound me like crazy. I couldn�t escape it and eventually the whole industry became a part of my life. I used to do a lot of shows for SBS and EBS. I�ve worked on LA Arirang, New York Story, Bo Bo Bo, and any other English teaching shows. I was in many different magazines modeling for clothes and advertising products. I also did many runway shows for different clients and agencies. After I left Korea I took a long break from it. I got back into it when I was in Houston for a couple years. There I was doing numerous fashion shows, and car shows for Endless Performance Racing. After I moved to Cali, it all kind of fell into my lap again. But this is a part of my life so I could never turn it away.

Kt213:  That's great to hear, so how do you like modeling so far?
SH:  Modeling def has its ups and downs. Overall I have to say I love it. You have to love what you spend majority of your time doing or else you�ll be miserable. I love to travel and meet new people. The worse part is the image people perceive from modeling. Many people think its all fun and games and make ignorant comments that hurt my feelings, but it�s actually real work and I actually do get burnt out and experience fatigue. I spend many nights at home catching up on sleep and resting to prevent stress. But I cant complain. I�d rather be doing this than sitting at a desk job for 8 hours a day.

Kt213:   Any upcoming projects we should know about? Where can we see more of you Susan?
SH:  There�s a couple of music videos that are coming out soon. Everyone probably knows a couple of artists I�ve worked with, like Snoop Dogg and Game. Warren G and Nate Dogg were there on the set for Snoop�s song �Fairytales�. They�re a lot of fun. I also worked on the Hush project featuring Eminem and Nate Dogg again. He�s really funny.  You can see more of me on my website, www.susanhutchison.com. You can view my pictures and portfolio, read about me and all the things I�m doing, where I�ll be, appearances, and etc. You can also check me out in an upcoming issue of Performance Auto and Sound cover model search, or just hit up www.pasmag.com to see it now. There�s a lot more stuff coming out this summer and later in the year, so stay updated by checking out my site.

Kt213:  I'm sure our viewers will be eager to check it out.  What are your turn-on's? Your turn-off's?
SH:  Turn offs: Being inconsiderate and unappreciative. Rude, mean, and always complaining/being negative. It makes me sad when people are like this!  Turn ons: People that are always smiling and laughing really make my day. They�re happy because they�re here just living. Also, I know it's silly, but when a guy opens my car door for me it makes me blush. Being a gentlemen is a definitely a turn on!

Kt213:  What do you like to do during your free time? Any hobbies?
SH:  Well I spend a lot of time in the gym, and I try to hit up the batting cages and basketball courts when I get a chance, as my height is useful there!  I�m not a big fan of TV, and I�d much rather read a book or talk to someone, anyone.  Then when the weekend hits and I have no shoots or appointments the next day, I drink like I�m in Korea again. I also enjoy go-go dancing, it can get real fun and crazy.

Kt213:  Being half-Korean, do you do any typical "Korean stuff" that remind you that you're Korean?
SH:  I must eat a lot of Korean food on a regular basis or else I�ll get sick. Really! Then there�s that part of me that can drink and study for hours and hours until the crack of dawn. Not simultaneously of course.

Kt213:  What are some of your favorite places to visit in Ktown?
SH: I go to Ktown when I need to pick up a few things. Korean stationary stores are the best!  When I was younger I used to save my lunch money and buy HOT postcards and hang them up in my locker. Ha ha! There�s also a couple of Korean BBQ places that I�m addicted to.

Kt213:  Who�s been your role model as of late?
SH:  My mom! We're wild out when we get together. We were in Vegas for my birthday recently and we were both dancing like crazy while walking through Caesar's Palace. Everyone was looking at us but we didn�t care. She�s always believed in me and saw the talent in me, even when I was down and didn�t believe in myself. This is probably why I am who I am today. Couldn�t do it without my mother�

Kt213:  That's awesome Susan, we thank you so much for your time, and we wish you the best of luck!
SH:  Thanks for all the love and featuring me!  Before I jam, I have to give the biggest shout to all my supporters. I sincerely appreciate everything and I love you all.  Also, shout outs to Erickson and Jason from Performance Auto and Sound, check them out at www.pasmag.com, sup to my boys Harry and Daniel from www.destination-nightlife.com, Ben from www.thehouseofglam.com, my beloved family, and last but not least the big man above that has been the biggest supporter of all.
