Korea Times photo by Choi Won-suk Silver models discover their true selves on runway By Park Jin-hai At 69, model Park Nam-sun exemplifies aging with style and confidence. With her silver hair cropped in a chic short bob, she shuns artificial enhancements, preferring to showcase her authentic self.
Her wrinkles, unpierced ears, and warm, genuine smile highlight Park’s unique charm and her unapologetic embrace of natural beauty in the modeling industry. Like a blank canvas, her face effortlessly shifts from embodying kindness and grace to exuding charisma and power, depending on the stage. "I stand on the stage with the mindset that I alone am enough.
I don't need accessories, I am my own brand," Park said during a recent interview with The Korea Times at a studio in Seoul, as she celebrates her fifth year in the modeling industry. Park said that her decision to become a model was part of her journey to rebuild her life after her soulmate fell ill and passed away nearly 20 years ago. Having spent years as a housewife, she was left to navigate financial responsibilities and emotional grief as she took on the role of breadwinner for her family.
