How to Become a Model in Korea

There’s a lot of demand for non-Korean models of all ages and looks for commercials (CF), print and even home shopping. Here’s how to get started.

Step 1.

Get a portfolio from a freelance photographer (bonus points if you get your hair done). You can check social media platforms for ones looking for models to shoot as well!

Step 2.

Find a modeling agency in Korea that specializes in foreign models (not all will sponsor your visa, you’ll have to ask!). The major ones are listed below.

Step 3.

Check their reputation online by joining Facebook groups and asking people with experience (you may be able to check the agencies’ website and contact their models independently on Instagram).

Quality of modeling agencies tends to change since there’s a lot of turnover, so a good one can become shady overnight and vice versa.

Step 4.

Contact the agency, send headshots and other info they request.

Step 5.

Read the contract carefully. It should be in both Korean and English. Make sure there aren’t any penalty clauses, and the term is only for a year or two. If you don’t understand something, ask someone you trust for an explanation.

Step 6.

Get an E-6 Visa sponsored by the agency, or an F Visa that will allow you to work anywhere and stay in the country long-term.

The Best Korean Modeling Agencies

“Model Line” agency led the modeling industry in South Korea from the late 80s to the early 90s with notable figures like Cha Seung-won and Jin Hee-kyung.

DCM took over as Model Line went out of business because of financial problems.

DCM didn’t last long, and was divided into a few companies.

One of them was ESteem.

1. ESteem

ESteem started with a small number of hot female models in the Korean fashion industry: Jang Yoon-ju, Han Hye-jin and Song Kyung-a. They wielded tremendous influence and quickly became the top model agency.

ESteem then recruited Kim Won-kyung and Lee Hyun-yi, and reached the level of monopolizing pictorials of all high fashion magazines, such as VOGUE.

The agency quickly helped Korean models work overseas, starting with Han Hye-jin and Song Kyung-a. Then, it recruited Park Ji-hye, Soojoo, Kim Sung-hee, Kwak Ji-young and Yoo Ji-ann to expand even further.

Since its establishment in 2003, ESteem has had the most influence in the modeling industry.

But, its position swayed little by little as KPLUS began to grow.

ESteem established a strategic partnership with SM in 2015.
(Lee Hyori signed an exclusive contract with ESteem in 2020 due to her connection with the CEO, Kim So-yeon.)

2. KPLUS

KPLUS was also born from the demise of DCM. Despite having a large roster of models, the agency wasn’t popular at first. Its strength was mostly male models.

While ESteem had a crazy lineup of female models, but not many male models, KPLUS had hot male models who were crushing Seoul Fashion Week.

KPLUS stepped up to its current position as a top 2 agency thanks to a merger with YG in 2014. Now with the name YG KPLUS, it’s signed contracts with many female models as well.

Among their talent, Lee Sung-kyung and Nam Joo-hyuk became very popular as models who became actors. (They used to date, but broke up.)

The agency also made waves overseas, starting with Choi So-ra, who won Korea’s Next Top Model Season 3.

Now, both agencies are working hard to break into broadcasting/media, beyond runway and editorial.

1. You shouldn’t have to pay for anything to work other than perhaps head shots.
2. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get work. Any agency that promises that is being dishonest.
3. Making a lot of money is very hard in modeling. Any agency that says otherwise is being dishonest.
4. Research the modeling agency’s reputation yourself with Facebook groups or by asking around.
5. Don’t sign a contract until you understand it and agree to the terms. Contracts longer than a few years are predatory.
6. Don’t do something that makes you uncomfortable, especially if you feel pressured.
7. Contact your embassy or consulate if you need help or your passport is taken.

У каждого человека есть цель, к которой он стремится. Кто-то мечтает выйти замуж за своего биаса (было бы славно), кто-то копит на машину, некоторые же грезят работать в модельной индустрии и, желательно, в Южной Корее. Если в вашем окружении есть люди, которые смеются и называют ваши мечты «детскими фантазиями», то не стоит тратить на них свое время. Помните, что у вас все обязательно получится! А что именно необходимо предпринять для реализации мечты, мы вам сейчас расскажем.

Язык

Важно понимать, что иностранцу, который не владеет хотя бы минимальным уровнем знания языка, найти работу в сфере модельного бизнеса трудно. Сперва надо подтянуть свои знания (про английский язык тоже не стоит забывать).

Портфолио

Для выхода на мировой уровень, нужен опыт и тяжелый труд, чтобы модельное агентство в Южной Кореи заметило именно Вас. Не пропускайте кастинги. Ходите везде, куда бы вас не позвали и собирайте портфолио. А сейчас, в эпоху интернета и современных технологий, оно может «завируситься» так, что его будет сложно не заметить.

Внешность

Если вы девушка с ростом не ниже 170 см, то можете смело ставить себе плюсик. Модельные агентства в Корее любят русый цвет волос (это можно выделить как дополнительный пункт), однако берут на работу как темноволосых, так и светловолосых девушек.

Моделью может стать каждый. Необходимо только работать над собой, вкладывать все силы в проекты. Помните, что модель – это не только человек с красивым лицом, который позирует перед камерой. Это образ, которому многие стараются подражать.

Корею называют идеальной страной для «толчка» в этом бизнесе. Больших денег тут не заработать. Однако тот бесценный опыт, который вы здесь получите, точно приведет вас к успеху!

1. Except perhaps for headshots, nothing should be paid for to work.
2. Your employment is not guaranteed. Any company that makes that guarantee is dishonest.
3. In modeling, it’s quite difficult to get wealthy. Any organization that asserts the opposite is lying.
4. By asking around or using Facebook groups, you can investigate the reputation of the modeling agency.
5. Never sign a contract unless you are certain of its contents and agree to them. Contracts that last for a longer period are predatory.
6. Especially if you feel forced, avoid doing anything that makes you uncomfortable.

If you require assistance or believe that your passport has been stolen, get in touch with your local embassy or consulate.
