 The Face of Asia-Pacific model search aims to look for the next face of Asia that embodies not just the qualities to be a supermodel, but possesses the talent and passion to be in the entertainment spotlight as well. 


In today’s digital age, the contestants must also be able to kick up a storm on social media networks, as well as possessing the natural flair to own the centre of attraction at public events. 


When Amber Chia organised the Ford Supermodel of the World Model Search in 2009, her vision was to create a platform for the next generation of models to learn and gain exposure, locally and internationally. 


In 2010, she started Amber Chia Academy, which has graduated over 2,000 students to date. In 2011 she envisioned a new kind of model search in conjunction with the Korea Model Association to help propel young models to the global stage, the “Asia New Face Model Search”, which seeks models that not only have the potential to be the next fashion icon, but the next celebrity star. 


Over the past 9 years, this model search competition has been grown to over 30 countries in Asia. 


This year, Face Of Asia-Pacific will include models from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. In conjunction with the Face of Asia Pacific, tonight also saw the launch of the premier kids model search competition in Malaysia, The Face of Malaysia Kids Model Search. 


For the first time, over 300 kids auditioned to take part in the finals. 20 girls and 10 boys were selected to participate in the finals where the winner will join our adult winners in Seoul, South Korea to witness the biggest model awards and model search in Asia - The Asia Model Festival Awards. 


The finals was held in Ruyi & Lyn at Bangsar Shopping Centre with a full house crowd of over 300. One female winner and one male winner will be selected from each country to represent their respective countries for the grand finals in Seoul, South Korea in June, 2019. One female and one male will also be selected as the winners of the 2019 Face Of Asia -Pacific.


The Celebrity Star of the Year Award was awarded to Amelia Henderson, who will represent Malaysia to receive the Asia Model Festival Star Award in Seoul, South Korea. - END - About Asia Model Festival Awards Established for the appreciation and cultivation of modeling talent, the Asia Model Festival Awards (AMFA) plays an important role in promoting harmony and exchange between models all over Asia. 


Organised annually by the Korea Model Association (KMA), which is the only government-sanctioned body under South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the prestigious AMFA is touted as the Academy Awards equivalent to the Asian modeling and fashion industry. 


 An estimated 1.3 billion people, across 128 countries around the world, are expected to watch next year’s AMFA as it will be aired over more than 20 channels such as SBS Plus, China Gunaxi TV, KNTV Asia and Arirang TV, just to name a few. 


Set to be held in June 2017 at the majestic Olympic Hall of the Seoul Olympic Park, the 12th AMFA will take place throughout an eventful three days, which will include fashion shows, beauty fairs, an awards ceremony and of course, the Face of Asia Model Search. 


 Other past award recipients at AMFA included the crème de la crème of the international fashion, modeling and entertainment industry such as Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-Ling; Taiwanese actors and singers Jerry Yan and Joe Cheng; Hong Kong singer Leo Ku; China’s Next Top Model Cycle 3 winner Susanna Mao; international recording artist and actor Rain; American actresses Celeste Thorson and Esther Chae; Japanese actress Hayashi Tantan; Thai actress Khemupsorn ‘Cherry’ Sirisukha; South Korean girl groups Wonder Girls, Girls’ Generation and 4Minute; South Korean boy bands Super Junior and 2PM; Filipino actors Aljur Abrenica and Iza Calzado; Filipino singers Frencheska Farr and Freddie Aguilar; South Korean designer the late Andre Kim; and many more. 


About Korea Model Association Korea Model Association (KMA) boasts a network of over 5,000 members and is considered as one out of the two largest model associations and talent management outfits in Korea. 


As the only government-sanctioned body in South Korea in the modeling industry, KMA is also the prestigious organiser of the annual Asia Model Festival Awards. Currently helmed by chairman Yang Eui-Sig, he explained: “The Asia Model Festival Awards is held every year in Seoul to create a network amongst models, to promote cultural exchange amongst them and to create a model sub-culture.” 


In 2013, international shoe designer and icon, Professor Dato Jimmy Choo, OBE and international model and actress Amber Chia were appointed honorary ambassadors of KMA to champion the AMFA cause of narrowing the cultural divide of models and industry professionals throughout Asia.
