Stylish golfer Seo Hee-kyung has been nicknamed the "Supermodel of the Fairways."
Her pretty face and model-like appearance have made her one of the hottest female sports celebrities in Korea.
But the 23-year-old has also shown that she is not just a golfer who rests on her personality and physical traits, but one who has established herself as the most dominant presence on the Korea LPGA (KLPGA) Tour.
"I really like the nickname, but I wonder if people actually agree with it,'' the 1.72-meter Seo said with a laugh in an interview with The Korea Times.
"I felt uncomfortable with it at first. I was mindful of the way people viewed me on the course and at the practice range. But now, I think it is just a nickname which is well-intended.
