 This is pretty sad to be honest. It's not that there is anything particularly wrong with fashion or modeling, but to basically see the full decline of a woman who stood for the somewhat feminist idea of women in ESPORTS to what is essentially the most stereotypical female stereotypical work there is... Especially when you consider that so many people told her she was just on STX for her looks etc, that her only power was the objectification of her body (even in her interviews people did not really comment much on her ability to interview, so much as her photogenic face)...Not that you can blame her, it's a very sensible way to make money and take advantage of your well-known name. It is just that it is her giving up and fully giving in to the expectations of women in Korean society. She is not even like the powerful face behind the business, she is actually modeling for her own site ;p I hate to think of the chauvinists and easily influenced who will see this as proof of women's place in society. For someone who clearly wanted to do something else but failed, it's a terrible blow. You can almost see her parents sighing in relief that she's finally found the proper path of a woman ;p well glgl. | ||

She doesn't even pose in swimwear. It is smart for her to model for her own website because it's a good way to market the site. Being the only BW female progamer with a license does have its perks. It also helps that she has the looks as well. In the end, she has to pay the bills, and I don't see anything wrong with it. | ||

And to Chef: I don't think she's doing what you're saying. She's using her name, not her looks. A jacket worth $50 is worth $500 when Jaedong or Flash has worn it. I guess she is doing something similar. | ||

That it's sad, or that she's basically accepted the stereotypical female role? The former is an opinion, and certainly if you think this is where women should be it wouldn't make you sad. The latter you haven't provided any good evidence against. Heavily simplified, one could look at this like 'her mind wasn't good enough to compete with men in BW, so now she has to make money off her looks.' As someone young women might have looked up to as a possibility to competing in stereotypically male areas, this is certainly a step backward. Differentiated from someone who just always wanted to own a fashion store (influenced by societal expectations or not). This is like an unhappy fall-back option. Not that we didn't know years ago TossGirl was a write off, but this is the embodiment of that failure. So again, I'm not saying that modeling is a dispicable or disgusting or shameful career, it's quite legitimate, but there is no doubt that she as a figure who attempted to enter a male domain is going to warrant special attention when she returns to stereotypically feminine means. | ||
