Thanks to Casting Director, we've been kind of following the Ford Supermodel of the World 2008 contest, which came to its grand finale last night.
This year's winner is Seung-Hyoni, a 19-year old from Korea who, judging by the photo at left, might be a lot of fun at the movies.
The contest doesn't get a whole lot of press until it hits television about a century after the fact, at which time everyone will act like the winner is the next Heidi Klum, even though you may never hear her name again.
In fact, the only famous models we can think of who placed significantly in the contest are Adriana Lima, who came in second place in 1996, and Chanel Iman who came in as third runner up a couple years back.
But we have a special feeling about Seung-Hyoni - we think she's especially adorable, so hopefully she'll take the cover of V route rather than Victoria's Secret catalogues...
