The final instalment of New Faces in New Places: Seoul Edition is here! From exhausting shoots and emotional goodbyes to hiking Bukhansan and squeezing my life back into suitcases, this week was the perfect chaotic ending to my 10 weeks modelling in Seoul.

Somehow I'm already halfway through my placement in Seoul and I’m reflecting on model life, comparison, and what it’s really like living with the very people you’re technically competing with. Honest, slightly unfiltered, and somewhere between self-aware and overthinking.

This week in Seoul included chaotic vintage shopping, a Chanel-esque shoot, far too many 7/11 snacks, and a quiet afternoon wandering through Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Chaos at castings, wandering temples and debating becoming a Buddhist, more vintage shopping than ever and a major summer campaign shoot to top it all off! Week 4 in Seoul captured the unpredictable reality of modelling abroad. There were moments of calm and moments of chaos, but I’m now one month in and feel like I've finally found my rhythm.

Week 3 in Seoul is a whirlwind of unpredictable castings, industry highs and lows, and the long-awaited arrival of best friend Aoife. From surprise swimwear fittings and hair drama to peaceful Han River walks and a chaotic first night out in Itaewon, this diary reflects the emotional rollercoaster and uniquely intense bonding that comes with modelling placements abroad.

A hilarious behind-the-scenes diary of week two modelling full-time in Seoul - from chaotic castings and freezing springwear shoots to flea market culture shocks and feeling truly “booked and busy.” Discover what life is really like working as an international fashion model in South Korea, navigating agency life, e-commerce shoots, unexpected racism experiences, and finding joy in the madness of a new city.

My first week modelling in Seoul, Korea was chaotic, emotional, and unforgettable - from jet-lagged panic attacks to my first casting and a foot-obsessed dog on set. Follow my 75-day adventure as I navigate jobs, model apartments, and the highs and lows of life as an international fashion model. This is Week 1!!!

After weeks of keeping it quiet, I’m finally sharing my next big update - I’m moving to Seoul for a ten-week modelling placement. From contracts and measurements to visas, and haircuts, this post takes you through exactly what preparing for a modelling placement really looks like.
