We are sequestered in a hotel suite, which has been converted into a makeshift dressing room and hair and make-up studio for SIM's summer swimsuit pictorial, for which Jinri was the natural choice.
Showing up for the shoot in a black T-shirt and Daisy Dukes, Jinri is clearly in her element. She's much taller in person than she appears on film, slim-hipped and broad-shouldered, a peculiar Asian body type that allows her to seem slender and voluptuous at the same time, although it's hard to ignore the famous cleavage."Modeling is really fun for me," she says. "I don't stress out too much about it.plus size bikini"In contrast, "Vampire" is her first time to really act.
"At first I was pretty intimidated, because we have an all-star cast,Sexy Angel Costumes" she reveals. "For 'May Tamang Balita,' I can do whatever and the audience likes it. But here I have to get into character and memorize my lines."
Since the script is in Filipino, she's now taking Filipino classes twice a week to improve her language skills."It's a bit more stressful, but I actually enjoy that more. After the first taping, it was OK. Everyone was really nice. It's a fun environment."Jinri was only 6 years old when her family moved from Korea to Cebu where her father, a physician, worked at the Cebu Doctors Hospital. She attended international schools in Cebu until she finished high school, after which her family moved back to Korea.In Korea she enrolled in a pre-med course, mostly to please her parents. It wasn't really to her taste. After two years, she dropped out, and moved in with a sister for a while.
"I actually didn't know what I wanted," she recalls. "I just quit without knowing what I was going to do. And I wasn't really doing anything, I was waiting tables in Korea. My parents said I had to at least finish college, so they sent me back to Manila."On hindsight, these years of teenage rebellion might have been symptomatic of Jinri's emerging identity crisis."I didn't want to go to college in Korea because I wasn't used to the culture there," she says. "It was really hard,Sexy Body Stockings because I grew up here, but I'm a Korean. When I go to Korea,Sexy Cat Woman Costumes people are like 'You're not a Korean.Sexy Animal Costumes' When I'm here, they say 'You're not a Filipino.' I'm kind of lost in my identity and I feel like I don't really fit in anywhere."
