tz - Hi Hyonni, so you're from the Atlanta... what brings you out to California?
Hyonni - Oh I'm just working on a few projects out here. The weather is so nice out here and I got to hang out with a couple of hot friends.
tz - We've seen you at SEMA and D1 Grand Prix as an umbrella girl. How did all of that get started?
Hyonni - JIC Magic actually asked me to model for them for SEMA 2005. From there, D1 had contacted me and I got the D1 gig for December 2005 and March 2006.
tz - Do you enjoy the events you work at? What do you like better, shows or drifting?
Hyonni - I really enjoy the events, especially meeting new people and hanging out with the girls. I actually enjoy both the shows and drifting events. I like shows because I get to interact with the fans. I also really like drifting events because it’s exciting to watch live in person.
tz - When did you originally start modeling?
Hyonni - I started when I was studying at FSU (Florida State University) and I started with a swim suit calendar and did a few fashion events for clothing lines. Then a friend asked me to model for his car at a show in Atlanta and it just went from there.
tz – You know FSU sucks right?
Hyonni – Shutup.
tz - So we hear you have a musical background in college, tell us more and what did you play?
Hyonni - I was actually a music major and I performed classical guitar, but I also write music and play piano and violin.
tz - Do you still play?
Hyonni - I mainly play the classical guitar for pleasure and to relieve my stress.
tz – What kind of pleasure can you actually get from playing a classical guitar? Sounds pretty boring to me.
Hyonni – It doesn’t vibrate or anything, it’s just very peaceful.
tz - Did you ever play the trumpet? I played the drums in the marching band...
Hyonni - No, I didn't play the trumpet. Guys who play in the drum line are HOT! Especially if they have a third nipple.
tz - I see, so what do you find attractive in guys and dislike about guys?
Hyonni - I like great sense of humor, intelligence, kind and caring... I dislike cockiness, boring guys, and guys who cheat and lie.
tz – You don’t find third nipples attractive on guys?
Hyonni – Only if they are sensitive in the cold too.
tz – What does it take for a guy to get your attention? We’re sure plenty of guys would love to get your attention.
Hyonni – Well if you’re lucky enough to get my phone number, you have to be really persistent and prove to me that you’re worth my time.
tz – Persistent huh? How do we know when we should just take a hint and look elsewhere?
Hyonni – I’m an equal opportunity lover, just keep ‘on trying.
tz - How about gifts from guys, would you think it would be weird to get a trumpet in the mail from a fan?
Hyonni - Yes I would feel weird about a trumpet, but I would be ok with small gifts like puppies. And no, I don’t eat dogs because I’m Korean.
tz - OK, well what is your favorite food?
Hyonni - Korean. I also like Japanese food, Sushi, Thai food, and Pho.
tz - We see you have a Myspace account... would you ever date someone you met on there?
Hyonni - I actually only use my Myspace account to network with fans and "industry" people. But every now and then I can’t help but to mingle with some of those hot Myspace girls that have tens of thousands of friends.
tz - Interesting... so what events or projects do you have coming up?
Hyonni - You can see me at Hot Import Nights and I’ll be working out my schedule on my site www.hyonni.com
tz – Have you ever done any projects with polar bears or penguins?
Hyonni – No, but I think polar bears should drink Pepsi instead of Coke. I also heard they have two vaginas, have you heard anything about that?
tz – You do know where twins come from right?
Hyonni – I guess you’d need two vaginas to have twins. Only if you’re a polar bear though. I heard penguins breed through third nipples.
tz – If boobs could talk, what would yours say?
Hyonni – To stop calling them Hyonni-dews.
tz - Very cool... well thanks for visiting Cali and we hope to see you soon.
Hyonni – Jason Siu is amazing and Julius Mayo does my clothing, I love em.
