Favorite things: Family, friends, fashion, fortune, music, and photography. Oh yeah, I’m a shoe addict.
What music are you listening to at the moment? I love different genres of music. From Pop to Neo-Soul, I just about love it all. If we’re talking about this particular moment, I’m listening to ‘Hey’ by KING.
Favorite movie, tv show: Favorite movie would have to go to Kill Bill. Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorites, particularly for the dramatics. Favorite tv show is hands down, How To Get Away With Murder.
Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product: I’m going to go with favorite designer and give OBVIOUS a hard time. I can’t decide between Marc Jacobs and Alexander McQueen. I have to credit Jacobs for his innovation to challenge the aesthetic of everyday wear. However, McQueen is king of avant-garde and haute couture!
What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling? Fashion & Entertainment Public Relations – it’s actually what I do now. Fashion, entertainment, and modeling will always be in the equation.
What’s something uncool that you love anyway? I’m a 24-year-old man who is still obsessed with my favorite childhood shows. Particularly, Power Rangers! Everyone loves the red ranger.
Favorite modeling experience so far? My favorite experience would be when Cool Korea Magazine asked me to be in their publication. Cool Korea is known for featuring the best male models working in the fashion industry so I was flattered. So, I’m hoping to shoot with them one day. Being apart of OBVIOUS Magazine Model Watch is pretty dope too. I love the trends and innovation seen in the magazine.
What’s the best thing about your hometown/country? The FOOD! I mean, there’s other things but there’s also the food.
Which brand would you really love to model for? Louis Vuitton
Place you would love to visit: Barcelona, Paris or Tokyo. If I had to randomly pick out of a hat I would be fine with whatever I chose.
Currently, you’re obsessed with/about: My career. It’s my motivation. It’s the driving force that gets me going in the morning. It’s the reason why I’m here.
