As more and more entertainers are taking off for the camera, three racing girls announced Monday that they would pose for group nude photos. The three are Hong Yeon-sil, Choe Hye-yeong and Seo Da-ni, three of the top racing girls in Korea.
The well proportioned three (they average 1.74 meters in height with 34 inch busts), who are counted among the top 5 racing girls in the country, will travel to Australia on Wednesday for the photo shoot. Club Planning, which is producing the project, said the photos would be "healthy" and "dynamic," and should remind viewers of "Charlie's Angels" and "Tomb Raider."
23-year-old Hong, who is a racing girl with the Indigo Racing Team and famous for her "killer smile," said in a telephone interview with this journalist that, "I've seen the test shots and I look forward to taking the real photos... It would be hard to say we were taking high-level 'art' photos, but they aren't third-rate photos in which we simply stripped for money." She said, "I'm trembling with anticipation."
Hong also said, "I worried the most about what my fans would think of my posing nude, so deciding was really difficult, and in fact, it's still hard." She said, "They were proud of how I was able to manage my public and personal life... After my nude project became know, I looked at my Internet fan café (cafe.daum.net/racesmile), and while there were many people cheering me on, I don't think everyone will understand." Hong is as popular as any entertainer; her Internet fan café has 13,000 members.

She said, "This year, I got offers from eight places for nude photographs, but I refused them all... Two months ago, I finally accepted an offer to pose for nude photos in hopes that the photos would direct attention and interest in domestic motor sports." She added, "This was not simply about money, but I am doing so in a dignified way as a professional racing girl, a member of the motor sports world."

Asked if she was simply taking advantage of the recent spate of Korean entertainers who have been posing nude, Hong said she is not an entertainer, and asked that her nude photos not be compared to those entertainers who have posed before her.
