AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm so sorry for the weekly hiatus. Summer has been pretty busy, with moving and stuff like that, and I recently got a part-time job, and this plus the commute to and from the job has eaten up my time. But I promise you that I will try to finish this series as soon as possible. Thank you to the 5 subscribers that subscribed to my story! Hope you look forward to seeing this and the finale! :D

JANG YOONJU

Previously on Korea's Next Top Model, the 5 models learned all about Italian art and architecture, and for their challenge, they had to translate their inspirations into photographs. Han Hyeyeon surprised the models with an extreme photoshoot this series has never done before - a photoshoot embodying Michelangelo's David and Venus, in which they had to show their beautiful figures artistically. Naeun and Nana retreated, refusing to do the photoshoot, and received a good scolding from Han Hyeyeon.

Ravi won best photo, while Nana and Naeun landed in the bottom two. But Nana's three consecutive lackluster photos and her attitude gradually becoming poorer got her sent home.

4 models remain, each vieing for the top prizes: a cash prize of 100 million won, a modelling contract with Next Models, a cover shoot and editorial in W Magazine Korea, a 10 page spread in Ceci magazine, and a 3 month working trip to New York City, all expenses paid. Who will be eliminated tonight?

RAVI (confessional)

It's been an interesting and fun week last week. We learned all about art, and in a good way, I will never look at art the same way again. And it was fun actually, doing the photoshoot because it was classy, and I got first callout for the week! It's been at the same time, pretty intense, and I'm sad Nana went home. Just kidding. I'm not.

LEO (confessional)

I'm so happy she's gone!

KYUNGRI (confessional)

Finally the annoying went home! I'm so happy! I thought Nana was gonna stay because I didn't think that Naeun's photos were strong as hers, but at the same time because Jang Yoonju thought Naeun had potential, I'm so relieved! Although, maybe the house won't be fun without her yness...

LEO 

GUYS!! YOONJU MAIL!

ALL

"Are you ready to go see a go-see? Love, Yoonju."

(next day)

HAN HYEYEON

Good morning everyone!

ALL

Good morning!

HAN HYEYEON

We are all in the centre of Rome! Because Italy is regarded as the world's fashion capital, most models come here to get jobs and promote internationally. Now that you're here, this is your chance to shine. Because first and foremost before being a model is being able to find a client who will like you. And for this week's challenge, you will all have to meet 4 different clients in THREE hours. All you have to do is show them your portfolio, and they may conduct an interview with you, ask you to walk for them, or model for them some clothes. But what is also important is charm and having an attractive personality when you meet them. And for that, here are your portfolios.

NAEUN (confessional)

I am super nervous. We're in Italy, and I need to speak English all the time because I don't speak a word of Italian.

HAN HYEYEON

Are you all ready?!

ALL

YES!!!

HAN HYEYEON

Well, you have three hours, and the time starts.....NOW!! GO GO GO!!

[after the go-sees]

LEO (confessional)

I booked 3 out of 4 go-sees. Not bad I guess.

KYUNGRI (confessional)

I booked 3 out of 4 go sees too.

NAEUN (confessional)

Ravi and I were late, and so we were disqualified from the challenge. But Ravi could have done well because he at least booked 2 out of 4 go sees, while I didn't book anything. I'm sooooo disappointed!!

HAN HYEYEON

Well, congratulations, Kyungri and Leo. I am impressed that you two have booked almost all the go-sees, and have also showed the importance of being on time. However, there will only be one winner. And that winner is.....Leo!

LEO 

No way!

KYUNGRI

Congrats man! You deserved it!

HAN HYEYEON

Congratulations! You get a shopping spree for the clothes from ALL the clients!

LEO

Thank you so much!!

[at the house]

KYUNGRI

Naeun?

NAEUN

Yeah?

KYUNGRI

Won't you come and have dinner with us?

NAEUN

No thanks, I'm not hungry.

NAEUN (confessional)

I'm panicking at this point. It's already down to 4 models, and at least one of us is obviously getting eliminated this week for sure. I didn't book any jobs, and I'm really stressed. I just hope this doesn't harm my chance of winning the competition.

KYUNGRI

It's okay, Naeun. You did your best. Not every client looks at everyone the same way. Some others look at people differently. Let's shake off the stress and eat, alright?

NAEUN

No thanks, I have no appetite.

KYUNGRI

Are you sure?

NAEUN

Yeah. I'm sure.

KYUNGRI

Well then, I'll save some dinner for you in case you change your mind, okay?

NAEUN

Thanks.

RAVI

YOONJU MAIL! Uhh....Naeun? You okay up there?

KYUNGRI

I think we'll let her read it later.

ALL

"You are all warriors. And you need that extra energy for the photoshoot. Love, Yoonju."

[the next day]

HAN HYEYEON

Good morning!

ALL

Good morning!

HAN HYEYEON

Welcome to this lovely set, reminiscient of Ancient Rome! This is where gladiators fought. And for this photoshoot, you will all dress up as gladiators and bring that power to your photoshoot. Are you ready?

ALL

YES!!!

HAN HYEYEON

LET'S GO GET YOUR COSTUMES AND MAKEUP READY!!

[after the photoshoot]

KYUNGRI (confessional)

We came back to Korea after the photoshoot shortly in Italy. It's was such a fun time in Italy. At the same time, I will miss it very much, but at the same time, there's no place like home.

RAVI

We're back at our 'house' house!

LEO

Oh, look! There's Yoonju Mail!

ALL

"Tomorrow you will meet the judges. Only three will continue the journey towards becoming Korea's Next Top Model. Love, Yoonju."

[at judging]

JANG YOONJU

Hello!

ALL

Hello!

JANG YOONJU

Welcome back to Korea! Did you all have a great time in Italy?

ALL

Yes!

JANG YOONJU

Well, you all know our lovely panel of judges: Han Hyeyeon, creative director, Lee Hyeju, editor of W Magazine, and Kim Wonjung, fashion model! As you all know, our prizes are a cash prize of 100 million won, a modelling contract with Next Models, a cover shoot and editorial in W Magazine Korea, a 10 page spread in Ceci magazine, and a 3 month working trip to New York City, all expenses paid.

For this photoshoot, you all posed as gladiators in Italy. First up is Ravi.

[photo shows]

ROARR! This photoshoot screams energy. Power, energy, everything. Well done.

Leo.

[photo shows]

There is some devilish and demonic look in the eyes, but you have beautiful body language. And you were making great use of the props around you too.

Kyungri.

[photo shows]

Beautiful body language. But I just don't see that energy coming through. You look a bit too relaxed.

Last but not least is Naeun.

[photo shows]

You look beautiful in this shot. Although, I wish that you put in more energy, and I know that the props were heavy and hard to work with, but it was the same for everybody else. But now I will leave the answers to you, how was your week?

NAEUN

Not so great.

JANG YOONJU

Why so?

NAEUN

I didn't book any jobs, and the photoshoot didn't go so well....

JANG YOONJU

There are all sorts of clients around the world that will have mixed opinions about the people they see looking for a job, and some may not like you, while others will. Don't take it too hard. Maybe you will have a bright future ahead. And I don't hate this photo, it's a nice photo, though I think you could have worked with the camera more.

Alright, thank you, Naeun.

NAEUN

Thank you.

JANG YOONJU

The judges and I will now deliberate, and when I call you back, I will announce who will still be in the running towards becoming Korea's Next Top Model.

[after judging]

JANG YOONJU

4 beautiful models stand before me, but I only have 3 photos in my hands. These photos represent the 3 of you that will still be in the running towards becoming Korea's Next Top Model. Best photo goes to....

Leo.

Congratulations! You're still in the running towards becoming Korea's Next Top Model.

LEO

Thank you!

JANG YOONJU

Runner up for best photo goes to...

Ravi.

Will Kyungri and Naeun please step forward?

[both step forward]

I have one photo in my hands. The girl that I do not call must immediately return to the house, pack her belongings, and go home.

It's interesting that you young ladies stand before me. You both stand before me for very different reasons.

So Naeun, you refused to do the photoshoot last week, and you were called safe because we thought that you had potential to improve, and possibly win this competition, and this week, you did not only not manage to get a go-see, but your performance in this week's photoshoot was mediocre compared to the other competitors. But what also concerns the judges is that you lack consistency.

And then we have Kyungri. A stunning, absolutely beautiful young lady standing before me. Strong photos, but the judges are concerned about whether she is still stuck in her shell, and not ready to break it apart?

So who stays in this competition?

[pulls out photo]

Kyungri.

Kyungri, the journey may be ending, but this is not a time to play it safe. If you hold back on your reins right now, you may have no chance of winning this competition. Congratulations, you're still in the running towards becoming Korea's Next Top Model.

KYUNGRI

Thank you so much!

JANG YOONJU

So Naeun, I'm so proud of you! You learned a lot and you came a long way! You may have not been able to book a job, but at the same time, taking this as a learning experience. There are loads of clients out there that are ready to book a girl with an exotic face like yours. Though I think yo need to work on your consistency and your angles. But at the same time, I think that with practice, you will blossom into the Top Model that we all dreamed you to be. We loved having you here, and you got so far. You should be proud of yourself.

NAEUN

I am, thank you so much.

[at the house]

NAEUN (confessional)

I'm so disappointed. [tearing up] I really wanted this so badly, and I don't know what to do, it's so frustrating.

[shows before, then after picture and whole portfolio]

Not making it is a horrible feeling. I thought I had so much potential and I gave it my all, because I wanted to win this competition. But I will take this as a learning experience, and I definitely have no regrets about it. I am going to go home, and prove the judges wrong, and show that I can do this and be better than who I was in the competition. And I can't wait to prove them all wrong.

[shows fadeout, Naeun fades out]

NEXT EPISODE:

JANG YOONJU

It's that time of the season again! The finale! After 13 difficult cuts, only three models: Leo, Ravi and Kyungri remain!

LEO 

It's so crazy!

RAVI

I might be the winner!

KYUNGRI

I'm just so nervous!

JANG YOONJU

Korea's.....Next......Top......Model.....is.....
