United Colors of Benetton has always featured models of different ethnicities and this season Sung Kang, Philip Huang and Hyoni Kang are the lucky ones. It's great to see male Asian models because there are too few in the industry. Philip Huang and Sung Yang are probably the only Asian guys working consistently in the US.

ReplyDeleteAnon #2 & #3: I read that Shan Jingya & Hyoni Kang are in the new Benetton ads. The girl in Photos #4 & #5 is definitely Hyoni Kang. Not sure about the other girl in Photo #2 - #4. She looks Caucasian to me. It could be MacKenzie Hamilton because she's bi-racial and can look non-Asian in some photos. I will look into it. Thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteAnon #4 - Thanks for spotting the typo.
The girl with Philip is Shang Jingya. The girl with Hyoni isn't a famous model...maybe it's Shu Pei? Or Shiya Zhao? too hard to recognise models when they have big smiles!
