Kim Ah-joong, a young starlet whose name LITERALLY translates into "the center of Asia"!

Fitting name, because that's exactly what she seems intent on doing.

Actress Kim Ah-joong has once again proven that she is one of Asia's hottest female stars. The 2007 Elle Style Award Asia, held in Hong Kong on October 26, presented Kim with an award in the 'Hot Face' category.
