Nichkhun's sister entered supermodel contest

The younger sister of 2PM's Thai-American member Nichkhun was belatedly found to have participated in Thailand's supermodel competition.

Yanin Horvejkul, 19, took part in the "Thai Supermodel Contest 2009" held on September 19 and 20, according to the contest's official website.

Photographs showed a tall and lean Yanin walking down the runway of the competition as contestant number 173.

Nichkhun, the 21-year-old heartthrob of the popular boy band, is known to have another younger sister -- Cherlyn who is 13-years-old.

Nichkhun is the only non-Korean member of the formerly seven-member group which is set to resume its activities with six members after leader Park Jae-beom quit the group over controversial comments he made regarding Korea before his debut.
