Interview with Gigi — Dental Assistant Quirky Asian Model
Gigi is a 24-year old model residing in Washington, District of Columbia.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
I was born in Baltimore, MD but grew up in a small town named Odenton and was born into a family of 4, of whom I am the youngest. I have 2 older sisters aged 34 and 32, and an older brother aged 26. I grew up singing karaoke with my Father who wanted to be a singer back in Korea but couldn’t continue his dream because my Mother was pregnant with my oldest sister at the time.
I’ve always wanted to be an actress or work in the entertainment industry but was too shy to pursue the career. My hobbies include Karaoke, adventuring out into a town, eating a lot of ice cream with no regrets, watching movies, listening to music, taking pictures, hanging out with my closest friends, skyping with my godson who lives in Alaska, making videos, specially music videos. My interests include music therapy sessions, Pinterest, Fashion, Food, traveling, experiencing life and blogging.
Although my profession is being a Dental Assistant, Model, Singer and Godmom, I am still in the process of finding myself.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I never dreamed of becoming a model. I had self esteem issues growing up and was never comfortable in my own skin. I was first asked to be the main girl in my best friend’s music video in which I was featured on the track back in 2013. The videographer loved my look and asked me why I hadn’t been in the entertainment industry before. After shooting the music video “All for You” by Maximus Ft Gi I was asked to model in an Ao Dai Fashion Show for the Vietnamese Community. And I guess since then I managed to finally pursue modeling as a hobby to better find myself.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
My personal goal? Would be to be married to my best friend and have beautiful children while working in a field that I love. Five to Ten years from now, I’m not entirely sure where I will be nor what I will be doing. But I’m hoping I’ll be in an industry which I love while being married to the love of my life.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
I want to model as much as I possibly can but because I work full time as a dental assistant I rarely get the chance to model. But lately, my modeling gigs have been for Fashion related shoots; glamour, fashion, car photo-shoots. I would love to be in videos, such as short films on youtube or vlogs if I were given the chance.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I don’t have time to play sports, I used to play football for my church back in high school. I typically eat, whatever I want. I don’t believe in starving myself just to look a certain way.
Nutrition and exercise is crucial to one’s lifestyle, but I would be a hypocrite if I said I solely focus on that. I have a full time job and it leaves me completely exhausted at the end of the day. I try to exercise whenever I have the chance to. Such as doing squats or walking around places, typically downtown places or at malls.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
People don’t know that I can act.
Would you change anything about yourself?
Honestly, I would change my boobs. I’m perfectly content with the rest of my body.
What was the meanest rumor ever spread about you?
The meanest rumor I’ve ever heard about myself would definitely be that I’m a crazy bitch. I am pretty much the nicest chill down to earth person you could ever come across, I would never do anything to hurt someone.
