Who:

Chanil Kim, 187 cm / 6’1.5″, South Korean, born November 5th.

Why:

Seoul child Chanil was chilling in a Paris bookstore last year when he was spotted by his now mother agents Yvonne and Pierre from Dune Models. Within 24 hours this cool Korean was on his first test shoot, and a few months later he was on his first modelling assignment to Milan. Now about to head back to Europe after a brief sojourn home to South Korea, Chanil’s hard-man handsomeness has already come to the attention of British GQ Style as well as super brand Samsung.
