Korean transexual Harisu is in the news again. This is from the English version of the Korean site Chosun Ilbo:

"Foxy Lady" Harisu will be the first transgender individual to appear in an advertisement for menstrual pads.

From the middle of next month, Harisu will be appearing as a model in television and magazine ads for imported "UFT" sanitary napkins.

She'll get a guaranteed W100 million an ad for three months. The selection of Harisu, a transsexual, as the model for menstrual pads is setting the advertising world on fire.

The Chosun story is here.

Thanks to the popular Asian transsexual website Gweilo Diaries for spotting the story.
