Francine Prieto
Reading the Marmot regularly keeps me up to speed on events and trends in the Far East and I found some recent posts (see here and here) very interesting. They concern a Filipino actress and model named Francine Prieto who is phenomenally popular and, according to Korean media, the most searched-after foreign name in Korean cyberspace.
Famous wealthy Koreans have even made some indecent proposals with one reported offer to Ms. Pietro of 100 million South Korean won in return for one night of her intimate company. Based on the current exchange rate and my math, 100 million won equates to about $85,000. Nice rate of pay for sure, but she turned it down nevertheless while noting that she was an actress and model and not a sleazy money-chaser.
My take on these reports is that her immense popularity in the Far East may be a harbinger of future celebrity in North America and Europe. (Rev. 8/14, pic deleted)
