Catharina Lee of Washington D.C. was one of the ten girls competing to become a Victoria Secret runway model, but she was eliminated from the Victoria’s Secret Boot Camp competition because she was nervous and couldn’t nail the sitting down pose.  She was seen on Tuesday night on CBS as they showed the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which interlaced scenes from the Boot Camp competition.  It was pretty cool that a first generation Korean-American girl competed in such a high profile event.  What’s with Koreans modeling lately?  There’s been a couple of Korean-American contestants on America’s Next Top Model and now Victoria’s Secret.

Catharina is a first generation Korean-American who was raised in a very traditional Korean home in Washington, D.C. Her strict upbringing brought out her “bad girl” when she was younger, but at 20, she’s moved past her rebellious ways and is focusing on her future. She’s currently studying Communications at George Mason University. These days, the 5-foot-9-inch former-rebel would rather act out on the runway. According to Catharina, she can easily beat out her competition. Will the other aspiring Angels prove her wrong?

Victoria’s Secret held open casting events in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago to give the country’s most beautiful women a chance to be the next Victoria’s Secret Runway Angel. Starting with 10 finalists staying in The District, a luxury condo building in the heart of Manhattan’s financial district, the girls are competing in a series of challenges to prove their abilities as a spokesmodel and show off their red carpet star quality while walking a runway in lingerie.
