Jenny on the catwalk of life

Supermodelme the beginning

2009-08-14T01:46:00.000-07:00

My oh my, I have soooo much to say about this experience that I don't even know where to begin!

Let's try... Hm well yes it all started a warm spring day a few months ago :) I was told by my agency that I had been chosen to be one of 10 contestants in a reality show called

SUPERMODELME! It all happened in the blink of an eye (a quite slow eye). I did not know what to expect when I landed in Singapore where the show would take place. I was excited, extremly happy and anxious if I had packed the right clothes!

Not in my wildest imagination could I ever imagine the amazing journey I was about to experience..

We were 10 models from Singapore, Australia, Mala

ysia, Sir Lanka, Japan, Thailand and KOREA (me ofcourse), all very different but with one main thing incommon: We all wanted to be the next Supermodel..me!

The journey had begun...

It is never to late, right?

Hey everyone, new and old readers, it’s been a very long time since I wrote anything here in my blog! But it’s never too late to change right J

A lot have happened this passed year. I would take me forever to tell you guys everything so lets sum it up shall we:

- I am still working in Korea, however right this moment I am home in Sweden to visit family and friends, some that I haven’t seen since 2 years ago. It is so weird and amazing that everything seems so normal when you see your old time friends, like nothing have changed these passed years apart.

- I have been going to school to learn Korean, I am starting to be pretty damn good :P Anyong haseyo, nanun Jenny imnida (Hi I am Jenny)

- I am now teaching english to young kids as a volunteer at save the children in Korea. It is so amazing, these kids have been going trough so much; lost parents, been abused etc and they still manage to keep a smile on their lovely faces. It is very inspiring and I am so happy that I can be a part of their lives.

- I have grown 2 cm according to the people at the gym?!

- I have been a foster mother.. for a puppy. He was just 40 days when I got him, so cute! I decided to call him Tapoki, which is a very popular korean snack and my favorite food.

- I have been a contestant in a reality show called SUPERMODELME.Tv, I need a whole chapter for this one.

To be continued...

My job

2008-10-16T22:14:00.001-07:00

One of the things I love the most with my job is that is so varying, I have to opportunity to try and experience so different things. As I told you earlier I have done comedyshows, photoshots,

catwalks etc

A show that really fell close to my heart was the Oliveshow which is a talkshow about trends, fashion, cosmetics and guys (all my favorit topis)! Led by Pyeong jung su (a famous supermodel and mogul, like koreas Tyra Banks) me and the rest of the panel gathered every week to share our opinions concerning the topic of the day.

For exampel on day we were listing the 30 hottest guys in korea... me likeeee haha. Especially Daniel Henning, my dream man who was in top 5 hallelulja :D Another episode I really liked was when we had fortunetellers visiting the show. A couple of days before I got to be a reporter and interview two different fortune tellers. One who was more focusing on which colors

and which stiles will do you good. She was lovely and told me colors for me are blue and goooo

old <3>

uniqe, she got me to dance with her to bring out the luck and she told me I will have many boyfriends before I will meet mister Right and a casting next year. She was wonderful and full of life and I was happy as she gueststared the show the following week.

The show was a great challenge for me as we were only talking in korean. However everybody was so nice and I learned alot and had superfun everytime!!

One of my first photoshots in Korea was for "Be a model" and it was extra fun since I got to do it with most of my friends from the agency. We were instructed to jump, pose elegant, cute, sexy, funny faces, natural, yes all the things you could think of. We laughed alot and had a blast. Here are the results:

My debut on korean Tv was for the major channel KBS. It was called Jenny and Mino traveling korea on scoters!! And that was exactly what we did, me and my japanes travelpartner Mino who is a very funny and kind musician visited wonderful locations on our scoters accompanied by the filmteam of KBS. Everytime we were away for 3-4 very fullybooked days. Around 7 in the morning we began climbing the beautiful mountains, drafting in the wild river, digging for clams in the mudsea or learning how to make korean delicous food etc. Since I am a very adventurous person who loves do travel and learn new things, eat new things, meet new thing :) this was the perfect combination for me.

Me at the fishmarket where I was chased by a crazy octupus on the run

On the toooop of the mountain (after taking the lift high above the trees and then walking for 1h!!)

Other climbers :) They taught me korean folksongs haha

I call her happyfunnyfishlady

Me and Mino playing with the kids at the waterslides

(I felt like I was a kid again, running up the hill to go down the slide again and again... and again!

Beautiful cave who we spotted during our boattrip on the korean sea

Our scoters that went to several cities all over sparkling Korea (mine was the pink one, and I had a matching helmet!)

I met so interesting people like the happyfunnyfishlady, a family living on a house far away on the sea, a grandmother who taught me how to play korean card games, a lot of cute children, a team of watersports pros who taught me how to drive the jetski with a terrified Mino on the back hahah and many many more. I learned so much about the korean culture and came to the conclution that it is FANTASTIC. People value family and cultural heritage so extremly high and it is inspiring.

My comedy show

2008-10-02T22:29:00.000-07:00

For you who dont know I work for a tv-show called --------->

Its a comedyshow about m

e and my two sweethearts Djamilya and Tatyana (on the pic)

and our search to find a kore

an man. We are paired up with one man

each and are then supposed to live with them for 3

months. The whole concept is extremly funny since many strange cultural collisions occurs and there are often communication problems since me and the girls do not speak perfect korean and the guys do not speak to much english! However it is superfun and I LOVE it!

The three couple are very different. Me and my "partner" are the happy couple which is great! The previous episodes we been to the beach with the other couples, my family co-stared the show for one episod, I was walking in a big fashionshow, I have been meeting his bandpartner (since he is a singer) whom also moved in with us for 2 weeks which made my partner super jealous haha. We also had time for a lot of drama, jokes, foodfights (with the swedish pancakes cake I made), clubbing, drinking and fighting etc.

(the palace me and my partner live in for the show)

(my room in the show, princessstyle! :D)

(first day for the show, on the beach, me being thrown in to the ocean)

(me and my sweetie, Tanya)

The show have had great reviews and is now very popular. Me and the girls start to get many fans which for me and Tatyana is a new experience, Djamilya has been really famous from previous programs. The same goes for the guys who are already well-known in the entertainment business.

It is sooo fun!

I looove it!

Lets get started

2008-09-27T08:22:00.000-07:00

I have started a blog!!

Yes I know, about 10 years after everybody else in cyberspace. Anyway I am excited and hope you are too!?

Okej, so now what?

Lets start with the crusial: ME! Haha No but seriously this blog will be kind of a webdiary about my new life in the model and entertainment industry (Tv in more simple words). Hope you will find it interesting, at least you will learn how the industry really works and I can tell you right now it is not good.... it is GREAT!

As i told you before, I am starting to live

dream. It is all so overwhelming and wonderful and I cannot still understand that it is all happenig to me! 6 months of this new life has already past. 6 months since I left Swed

en, stockholm, my dear family and lovely friends (miss you all sooooo much)

I am now in the captital of South Korea, Seoul. Most of you probably dont know to much about this fantastic country. I would describe it as a country where: people bow for everything to show respect, eat kimchi 3 times a day (at least), loves to drink and are the most hard working people in the world. If you dont like rice, kareoke or designer bags you should not come to Korea :)
