지난 주에 명동에서 진행했던 Levi’s 몸짱 패션쇼에 나온 모델들이 몸짱이라고요? 릴리?
Last week’s “Best Body” fashion show in Myeongdong last week was supposed to be a launching party using models with the hottest bodies? Really? [HT to Korea Beat]

그럼 한국 여자모델들이 도대체 왜 카우보이 모자와 썬글래스를 쓰고 있을까? 그 건 보통 링지레이나 비키니랑 쓰는 액세서리인가? 아님 그냥 창피해서 (“결혼 못하게 되면 어떡해?!”) 얼굴을 숨기면서 나와야 되는 건가? 한국이다첫째 사진에서 백인 여자 모델은 자랑스럽게 옷을 보여주고 있는데 진짜 촌스럽게 역시 한국여자 2명은 숨어있는 거네. 봐봐. 1명은 앞모습을 안보여주면서 고개를 숙이고 있고 딴 한국 여자는 옆남자뒤에 있는 거야. 혹시 이런 패션쇼를 본 적이있나요? 창피해서 런웨이에 걸어오면서 옷때문에 자기 얼굴을 못노출하는 모델? 말이 돼!? Levi’s의 새로운 몸짱 랑지레에 런칭 이런바 ‘패션쇼’를 하면서 모델들이 창피하게 나오는 것 — 한국은 아직도 이 만큼 촌스러운 건가 아님 낮은 수준 값이 싼 도우미를 고용한 건가? Levi’s — 내 생각엔 다음에 진짜 모델이나 좀 쓰세요. 시간당 15,000원 몸짱도아닌 도움이 쓰면 티가 나. 진짜 촌스러워. 짜증나, 정말.
So why are the two Korean models wearing stupid leather cowboy hats and sunglasses, like they’re going to rob a convenience store? Is there an Indiana Jones and bikini trend coming? They’re obviously embarrassed about being in the show — “Oh my, God! What if I can’t get married!?” — one of the two Korean “models” won’t show her front and is hiding her face, while the other one is hiding behind the dude next to her. Yet the foreign model is doing her job just fine. But come on – have you ever seen a fashion show in which the model is embarrassed to show her face while wearing the clothes? What a joke. Levi’s — next time you put on a show, hire some REAL models to show the clothes, instead of cheap 15,000-per-hour promotion girls from the countryside who are too afraid to show their faces while wearing the clothes you want to promote. Duh.

new trend?
But yeah. Another “Oh, Korea” moment. ><
Ew! The girls bodies are flabby looking. They need to tone up. Being really thin doesn’t qualify as a perfect body. They’re all skinny-fat
AHAHHAHAHhahah.
omygoodness, levis could have done something better than using the indian jones props.
I’m so surprised and disappointed this is Levis! I love Levis’ jeans in general so I would still consider their underwear line despite this, if this were another company I wouldn’t even look twice.
First, the girls especially look so awkward and the ones with the hats look like they are ashamed to even be there. The underwear are too plain to be so uncomfortable looking and awkward-and for that alone I wouldn’t want to buy it. Seems like they would have been better off getting rid of the two girls with the hats and replacing them with interesting mannequins to display the clothes. Reduced the number of male models to maybe 2 or 4, using the hatless female model and doing the show with just them.
No offense intended but who WANTS to look like the girl in the blue-the underwear pushes her skin up looking like a fat roll and the bra-if you are small up top you usually want something to enhance not magnify the fact that you are so small. Truth in advertising is great and all but there is a reason Victoria Secret and so on use models with great figures. Haha most of us can look in the mirror and see what the girl in the blue looks like, but without clothes on isn’t it better to think/hope/wish/feel we look like what we see in the VS ads? ^o^
Certainly disappointing if that’s the best they could find. No doubt there are better looking women in the nearest subway station.
Of course, the foreign model doesn’t cover up.
Hire me, I’ll do it fo free..pwhaha~
The two guys on the right have killer bods though. So defined and toned and I’m loving the V-line (I’m not talking about the face) on the one on the far right.
Agreed, the guy on the right DOES have a great body. As for the other 5, though… rather more average-ish, aren’t they?
그러게요 당당해졌으면 좋겠네요.
워낙에 극과극을 달리는 한국인들이라…
Underwear modeling is one step above porn according to many Korean models, so I’m not surprised they are embarrassed/ashamed to show their face.
It’s funny because in other fashion meccas around the world, it’s the most famous of models who do the underwear modeling. Just look at the big names in the Victoria’s Secret shows. Yet, in Korea they have to hire foreign models to sell underwear on the Home Shopping network.
Personally, I too believe that innerwear modeling is one step above porn. I wouldn’t want to do it either and I’m a size 0-1. It bothers me that most of these models here are always foreign. It further paints the foreign women are whores stereotype.
And no offense, but I don’t like guys who are too ripped like that. 6 packs are ugly and so are that last guy’s pelvic bones sticking up…and I thought my pelvic bones were visible. Geez. His look like someone carved them under his stomach…eeew. I agree with some Korean girls who like a guy who is slender, but natural and a little soft. Who got that started that having 6 ugly little boxes on your stomach is attractive, I wonder?
