Story of successful senior model Kim Chil Doo


Kim Chil Doo is a Korean rookie model who debuted in March, 2018. His problem was the lack of money. He made a living by selling fruits and then used the money to open a Korean sausage restaurant. His restaurant didn't do well, so he sold it and moved to Seoul. He worked as a daily labourer at constructions. Because of his rough looks, he couldn't get hired at security business or restaurant business.



One day, his daughter recommended him to become a senior model. He went to a model academy in February, 2018. Every week, he took classes for walking and photo shoots. At home, he practiced with his mirror in front of him. Whenever he had time, he went to the academy and watched young models taking classes.



In a month, he was cast to the runway of 2018 F/W Hera Seoul Fashion Week. "I completed the runway by having fun. Once the music starts and I walk down, I can feel the aura. It gives me goosebumps... It's amazing." After his debut stage, he was cast by Elle, Dazed, Graphy, and various other brands.



Kim Chil Doo had things that young model didn't have - white hair, beard, and aging lines on his face. Kim Chil Doo isn't an old, retired senior. He's a popular rookie model.

Pann: Rookie model who debuted after age of 60 but hit daebak

1. [+136, -0] Wow, his facial features are still really clear and his handsomeness stands out. How did he live a normal life when he was young? He must've aged without any beauty care but his face can beat an average middle-aged actor.

2. [+53, -2] Wow, his aura is really different. He's cool.

3. [+49,-0] He looks so awesome in the subway pictures.

4. [+30, -0] Photo when he was young.



5. [+26, -0] His beard grows like a Westerner's. If he styles up formally and wears a suit, he'll look really handsome ㅋㅋ

6. [+15, -0] His daughter saw the future.

7. [+7, -0] This haraboji used to be the owner of my family's favorite restaurant... It was so delicious ㅠㅠ
