New Faces Shine at the ‘Face of Mongolia 2025’
The spotlight turned to Mongolia’s capital as the 2025 Asia Model Festival – Face of Mongolia unfolded in grand style at the National Academic Drama Theatre’s central square on July 6. Hosted by the Asia Model Festival Organizing Committee (AMFOC), KOFICE (Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange), and the Mongolian Fashion Association (MFAA), with sponsorship from High1 Resort, the event dug deep into Asia’s model talent pool—and Mongolia did not disappoint.
Meet Mongolia’s Rising Model Elite
Among dozens of stylish hopefuls, Saranbileg Cornelis, Munkhsuvd Byambaa, and Yondonperenlei Baasanjav emerged as the night’s brightest stars. These top-place winners have earned the honor of representing Mongolia at this year’s final showdown: the Face of Asia stage.
The trio won more than just bragging rights. They’ve secured access to high-profile opportunities—think casting calls with Korean model agencies, invites to Seoul Fashion Week, a spot on the Asia Open Collection runway, and potential exposure in fashion hubs like China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
All Eyes on ‘Face of Asia’ This October
The Asia Model Festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary in spectacular fashion. From October 25 to 31, the High1 Resort Convention Center in Korea will host an explosive week-long festival that fuses glamour, global talent, and industry powerhouses.

As Hallyu continues to break borders, the Asia Model Festival stands tall as more than a fashion competition—it’s a cultural launchpad blending style with substance. Stay tuned. Mongolia’s got new ambassadors of cool in town, and they’re just getting started.
