Here's how Soo Joo looks like with blonde hair:

I think it suits her even more than black hair and it makes her look a lot like Daul Kim (IMO)!

Nothing to do with this but she has a showcard for NYSS2013, and was featured on models.com:

"Personality, presence and blonde ambition Soo Joo was an absolute delight. She even rocked the Wilhelmina New York show package military jacket for us!"

Soo Joo went to BCBG's casting!

There already are some pictures of the show, but no photo of Soo Joo, so for the moment there's no way to know if she could walk for them... But maybe in 1 hour, we'll know. I hope she did, in those two photos she's so much more beautiful than the other girls standing next to her, I can't believe they would choose these girls but not her...

edit: So finally no, Soo Joo wasn't chosen to walk the BCBG Max Azria show...

Soo Joo has another editorial in the September 2012 issue of Vogue Italia!!! She looks stunning in it, she really knows how to pose!

For the moment I don't know if it's just a preview of the ed or the complete one. We just have to wait a little to see...
