Jung Yoo-jin, the former Korean national swimmer who became the topic of conversation with her recent nude pictures, received a proposal from world famous model Cindy Crawford to come to New York. Crawford carefully observed Jung¡¯s tall frame, which is 1m 74cm, and her Western-style beauty and said, ¡°How about working in New York as a fashion model?¡±
Jung, who studied in Seattle in her junior high school years, expressed favor to the proposal in English, and Crawford answered, ¡°With such fluent English, there is no reason to hesitate.¡± Crawford also immediately requested, ¡°I will send the official in charge of scouting from the fashion model agency ¡®WOMEN.¡¯ Let¡¯s have an audition right away.¡± Crawford especially said to Yoo that, ¡°The audition is only for form¡¯s sake, and I will personally guarantee that you will be able to perform as a fashion model. Trust me and come to New York right away,¡± and surprised the people around them.
Jung was preparing to jump into the entertainment sector in Korea after revealing her nude performances. Jung was startled with the unexpected proposal but delightfully accepted the offer while being impressed with Crawford¡¯s kind and warmhearted considerations. Jung said, ¡°I am shy, but I wish to show [Crawford] my recent nude pictures. I will meet with the official from the agency ¡®WOMEN¡¯ next weekend and will discuss about specific periods to go to New York.¡±
The meeting with Crawford was accomplished by the international jewelry brand ¡°Omega.¡± Both Crawford and Jung were invited to the company¡¯s party.
