[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] “Can I do it at this age? It’s the era of second acts in life anyway.” An unusual course that follows the exact model training steps such as walking, runway poses, and facial expressions is reaching out to the elderly. Those who complete the course will work as ‘models’ in fashion shows and more.

Pukyong National University is the first university in the southeastern region to offer a ‘Senior Model’ training course.

The Lifelong Education Center of the College of Future Convergence at Pukyong National University (Director Choi Hee-rak) announced on the 17th that it will open the ‘1st Senior Model Course for a Beautiful Life’ next month.

This course is an introductory senior model education program providing basic training for model activities targeting men and women aged 50 and above, responding to the era of second acts in life due to aging.

The Lifelong Education Center at Pukyong National University plans to recruit about 40 participants by April 16 and conduct the course over 15 weeks from April 21 to July 28.

The education will be broadly conducted with a curriculum including model walking, runway poses, facial expression practice, basic competency enhancement courses such as humanities, speech, and image making, as well as emotional classes like art therapy and business manners.

Each course will be taught by specialized instructors in their respective fields, and since the program targets middle-aged and older adults, classes will be held on Wednesday evenings.

On the opening day, April 21, a celebratory event featuring singer Choi Seong-su and a discussion session will be held.

Outstanding graduates of this course will be given opportunities to work as senior models and participate in fashion shows.
