So who exactly is the lucky woman whoâs caught the attention and envy of thousands of PSJ fangirls? After a whole lot of sleuthing online, curious onlookers were finally able to identify her as May Myat Noe. She even posted her TVC with Seo Joon on her Instagram page. âSmart Ako with @bn_sj2013. So blessed to be part of this. Thank you @jsagency.kr and @livesmart for giving me this opportunity,âMayâs caption read.
Curious to know more about her? Us, too! We did some digging of our own, and hereâs what we found.
1. Sheâs of Burmese descent.
As much as she looks like it, she is, in fact, not Filipina. May is a Burmese actress and fashion model who competed on the fourth season of Asia’s Next Top Model back in 2016. Coincidentally, she joined the show on the same year as Miss Universe Philippines 2020 contender Alaiza Malinao.
2. Sheâs a beauty queen.
Aside from modeling, the 22-year-old also happens to be a beauty queen. Honestly, we never even stood a chance! Six years ago, Mayâwho was only 16 at the timeâwas crowned as Miss Asia Pacific World, a contest annually held in South Korea. Unfortunately, she was dethroned just three months later after an arguement arose between her and the pageant organizers.
3. Sheâs starred in a few Burmese movies.
May is also an actress and has appeared on a few Burmese films, including titles like Tae Kyat, Invincible, and Kay Kyi Tai.
4. Sheâs under a Singapore-based model agency.
On Mayâs Instagram page, she cites the Singaporean agency Basic Models on her bio. Click here to see her full profile and portfolio on their official website.
5. She has a YouTube channel.
FYI, May’s a fashion and beauty vlogger as well! She opened her channel six months ago and only has six videos so far. You can watch them all here!
