Yeoj’s TOP 10
Asian Actresses, Beauty Queens, Models…
Top 10. Kim Suna
Korea
I always believe that personality could go beyond the looks. Not that she’s ugly or something. She’s definitely hilarious! And that’s what I like the best about her. Her tele drama “My Lovely Samsoon” became a hit almost all over asia and it was also the most watched TV drama of 2005.
Top 9. Nakama Yukie
Japan
She played the role Yamamura Sadako in Ringu 0 and the the young but tough teacher Kumiko “Yankumi” Yamaguchi in Gokusen. Even though she played the screen popping ghost Sadako, her beauty and personality shines out. And oh! She also sings!
Top 8. Miriam Quiambao
Philippines
She was the 1st runner-up of the Miss Universe Pageant 1999. Though she didn’t win the title, she’s still an inspiration to many Filipinas, and to the other girls around the globe who knows her. And believe me, she knows how to pull herself up after “falling down”.
Top 7. Coco Lee
Hong Kong, China
One of the most talented pop icon in Asia. She sang the theme song for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon entitled “A Love Before Time”. Did I mention she’s so cute?!
Top 6. Utada Hikaru
Japan
I adore the cuteness of her face! She’s a very talented singer from Japan who also made it big to the U.S. Quality of her voice is phenomenal. Angelic face to match her angelic voice.
Top 5. Anna Bayle
Philippines
The epitome of exotic Filipina beauty. Asia’s first ever Top Model. I already featured her in one of my articles here. She was featured in The Philippine Tattler magazine with no less than Mr. Nigel Barker as her photographer.
Top 4. Lee Young Ae
Korea
Trully a woman of beauty and brains. We all know her as Jang Geum in the hit Koreanovela Jewel in the Palace (Daejanggeum). She really did a lot of internalization and researching about her role! Trivia: did you know that she’s over 35 years old? (Looks can really be deceiving huh?!)
Top 3. Gloria Diaz
Philippines
First Filipina to be crowned Ms. Universe in 1969. As man conquered the moon, Ms. Diaz conquered the Universe. She have done a lot of movies and TV shows in the Philippines and made it big in showbusiness.
Top 2. Imelda Marcos
Philippines
Literally the Marie Antoinette of the Philippines & of Asia. Revolutionized and redifined the word beauty. Lived like royalty, Loved and hated… Who else in the world had their name used as another definition for beauty: “Imeldific”.
Top 1. Zhang Ziyi
China
Asian beauty at its finest. The world knows her as the geisha with the extra ordinary beauty that pierces through your soul. Her type of beauty: ass kickin beauty! UH YEAH! hehe!
