It's scary when they spoke about how all their money goes to the agency and they have a debt to work off.. it's trafficking just under a different name..
They pay for their own rent, transport, airfare and living expenses, are in debt, the agency gets a commission, are overworked, tired and remain hungry, this seems like modern day slavery.
problem is no one forced them.....Slavery was being forced this is not the same. Please use your chicken brain before you speak. They made a choice to be a model in China and thats what is happening. You can always refuse to go to China and being a model-
@Cowlan I know ,I just literally said it. I mean if people are going to blame CHINA for being China. Thats sound racist for me. Because wage slavery is happening in all countries.
@Cowlan These model made a choice to go and being a model no one forced them. But they are talking trash saying that Chinese are being unhuman etc. Then probably just don't go there, just stay in your own country. Funny how they blame their life on others.
This looks like human trafficking to me. The scene where the photographer takes pictures of a fifteen years girl in underwear to send it to potential clients convince me.
My son is an international model, and has also worked in Japan, Korea, and China. He said that most of the girl's were from Russia & Ukraine and they were young & barely spoke any English. All the models, both male & female, would share a tiny, cramped apartment, and if you didn't get booked for enough jobs, they would send you home! They would also charge them all rent each month. If you didn't work enough, they would bill them, so not only would these girls get sent home, they didn't return with any money!
I am polish and also was send to Japan when I was 17 because of the “baby face” I met mostly Eastern European girls in Asia. I advice young girls to be careful, as many men are taking advantage of them but I think that’s universal.
Could you tell us how much money you made? And would you do it again if you were 17? Why did you do it in the first place? Poland has several well-known universities. You have a good education system I think.
Max Mustermann . The agency pays ahead for the flight and apartment and then after some time we had to pay back from what we have earned, overall the money isn’t too bad if you get enough jobs. Yes, I would definitely do it again, I was very glad to have been send to Japan and Korea, as I have been interested in the culture before and it was a very special experience . However I would have been more cautious of the exploitation and also looked after my health more. The biggest problem though is that many times agencies lie about the real age of models, so that underage girls can attend adult parties etc. Yes indeed, there are some great universities but I wanted to take this opportunity before attending one.
@@weronikas1307 Thank you very much for the detailed reply! What do you mean by exploitation? And with bad health you mean being super thin? I thought it is only about catwalks and photoshoots. Are the girls supposed to drink alcohol and charm men at the adult parties?

Young people from the countryside are thinking that they miss out on something in the big world, they don't know that they trade themselves their freedom for mostly useless material things and that is sad...😢
I modelled in China for 6 months. It was AWFUL. Gruelling 12 hour days at trade shows and constant dieting. 172cm and 50kg I fit into couture but it wasn’t healthy. I’m 8kg heavier and 8 times happier now 👍🏼
this is sad. the reason why Chinese agencies hire Siberian girls is because they are the only European-looking girls that will agree to work for such a low salary. I bet people do not see many differences between a pretty Russian girl and a pretty German girl. Cheap labor - this is what they are looking for in Siberia.
Daria Ivanova it isn't cheap,they could get higher pay than the english teacher from usa or britain,maybe 2,000 RMB an hour, they are just amateur model and just work for 2 or 3 months in their summer vacation after all .
I doubt it, I can't say why Siberia is so popular but where I'm from I've known people to take internships for full-time work without even getting paid. I'm sure girls in more wealthier countries would model for nothing for the chance of fame and becoming a supermodel.
my chinese friend told me，2or3 months contract，free plane tickets， free apartment ，4000-10000rmb one day，but，not everyday，if you did not get a work someday，you get zero ，@ingvi frey
There's a interesting documentary of russian girls living in more isolated poorer places with not many job opportunities or proper education opportunities, so often times they also decide joining agencies and going to a casting with the support of their parents and participate in contests where the winners get to fly to china as well and they also mentioned many girls fail to really make a living out of themself there and end up in debts and even doing escort service to be able to make it through. I think this documentary is sort of not really talking about that, but it's a real thing and it should definitely be highlighted on.
The more I see these stories, the more I'm inclined towards studying hard and get a secure job, if I have raw talent for something, I would do that as a part time thing

@rubina stanikzai no, because she's not even tan not to mention they hired the tannest girl and the chinese woman even mentioned she's tan so they aren't necessarily censoring themselves.

it's very common to have european or mostly russian girls for prostituion in china. It's a bit highend, and it costs prolly around 1000 to 3000 RMB depends on th region. Im from china, and it's not a big news to males mostly.
in 2017 a 14 year old russian model died while working in china most likely because she was being overworked. it's sad that many of them have no clue what they're getting into.
Yeah she had to work for like 13 hours a day, even tho it doesn't seem much I guess for a model with all the poses and physical work it must be exhausting. Moreover they even starve themselves to maintain figures...
That "modelling agency" is so sketchy wtf. They're 100% trafficking these girls, I'm shocked they even agreed to be recorded and interviewed for this video
i work in modelling agency, i can tell you they trues , those poor euro country girls , their own country modeling agent send them to 1300usd. china agent pay 2 ways ticket and visa and apartment to live. no matter they go to japan or korea or italy , they will be paid for 1300 per month. 800eruo is this girl had this money after shopping and food before fly back to her own country.. this girl has a very good time , i can see she really want go back again.

not really. they probably have already finished middle school (9th grade), after which you can do whatever - go to high school (10-11th grade) and then to uni, go to college, just start working (tho obv not many choose that option) they can continue their education (college and then even university) after they're done with modelling
They were born in a poor village, with no prospects. The state does nothing to develop these small settlements, so it's not surprising that people are looking for alternative ways to make money. It's Putin's fault that he does not raise the economy in the villages.
I myself left school at 12... And i was not from a small place, the second biggest city of Russia actually. What makes you think anyone will care about Russian degrades while they never cared about our lives?
this seems predatory. they're taking girls off the street who had no previous interest in modelling and throwing them into a world of exploitation and unhealthiness
lol, tell that to the next pervert coercing a kid into having sex with them. they plant the seed, and then they'll keep making subtle comments mentioning it, modeling? no one ever goes far with it nowadays unless you're close with a celebrity. they mention the good things, but the true side of theirs, the side you'd call sinister? they cover it up and call it 'hard-work'. modeling is many girls' dreams, the mirror is their getaway, the phones' camera, Facetune and Instagram.
I agree, it'd be different if they were being discovered by some big well known agency and they were truly an anomaly and had what it took to make it big like Kate Moss for instance. They're just picking average looking semi pretty girls and giving them delusions of grandeur.
And they also show it openly to the world as well, and no one will do anything about it because 💰. Ordinary people can’t do anything either because we have no power and money 💰
It’s only trafficking if they’re being kidnapped. These people willing went into this line of work. There was literally a scene where two models who didn’t want to go just didn’t show up.
There is a difference between the very simple concept of sponsoring someone’s career and actual trafficking. Like, the whole training aso. isn’t cheap. So it’s understood that the agency wants to get its money worth quickly.
I think it's really good having the reporter also speak the language, instead of how you are usually listening to someone else interpret. Must be nice for those that he interviews as well.
thats definitely a 8/10 outcome. Especially, with Chinas high seggs rings and trafficked victims. Im surprised the parents sent them, but hey, I guess anything for a pretty penny? no?
@Finnish Nazi The video is red flags the girls are literally payed less than a average school teacher. Human trafficking is very big in China. If it’s a model industry in China you can directly tell they are filled with lies using the girls to get richer…
21:25 I'm Chinese and four years ago I went back to Shanghai, my home city and stayed at exactly the same hotel with my mom for a month during our trip. And I saw some russian girls going in and out sometimes and wondered what they were doing in Shanghai, well now I know my answer. Poor girls, I hope they will find happiness and success in their lives.
I went to Japan from London when I was 17 with the same deal. The agency pays for your flight, your apartment and gives you pocket money. They detract everything including their fees from your earnings and you go home with the rest. It was agency risk. If you didn´t work, they lost money but if you put on weight you broke the contract. Nobody owed the agencies money though. The worst thing that happened is you got sent home prematurely with no wages.
@@tw3thRZHGTREF4j Marcel does a lot of journalism in Russia and Ukraine(and other non-English countries), which is why he speaks Russian(not fluently, but heyit helps), while Louis does a lot in English speaking countries.

It makes me so sad to see the interviewer act as an interpreter for these girls, because we know they don’t even get that much language assistance the rest of the time they’re there.
@@yhormDarkSouls The agencies here in the US also make them go into debt for EVERYTHING. Plane tickets and lodging in the US is extremely expensive, and they go into debt for that. Trust me, I've seen this first hand. NYC exploits them just the same way you see in this video. The vast majority of them go on to never have success and only end up with debts or meager pay, once the debts are paid.
This is the world of mass consumption and industrialization, and as a result you get mass exploitation, amongst many other negative consequences. Isn't capitalism great?!
The Chinese guy talking about Russian girls not understanding English,boii when you talk like that ain’t nobody going to understand what you are saying.
The interviewer in this seems like a genuine, curious, nonjudgmental, helpful human who was wiling to help these girls understand when there was a language barrier. Seems like a great journalist but also a good soul.
wow I wish I had seen this documentary sooner!! I used to live in Shanghai as a teacher. 8000 RMB? in 2 months?? that is literally NOTHING. that's what he average Chinese person makes a month. I was making 20K a month just teaching. I cannot believe that lady had the audacity to say 8000 was so good for 2 months of work. I always wondered why there were so many Russians in Shanghai and it always annoyed me that "they go to the clubs and don't act like they are having fun". I feel so bad for judging them because now I now what most of them are going through... such a sad thing to go through
I worked as a software designer in Shenzhen, we used to joke that English teachers are the rock bottom on the salary scale of expats in China, but truly foreign models and DJs are the actual bottom of the barrel.
My daughter who is American got a “contract” in Taiwan several years ago, same type of “contract” these models have. She worked tirelessly (she was 16), appeared in several catalogs, Japanese Vogue etc. I actually had customers there who looked out for her while there. They even intervened in getting her copies of her paid work for her portfolio. Ended up in debt after three months. She left with no money from the contract and they did not ask for the difference. It was hard getting a true and accurate ledger of her earnings and work. The records they kept were very haphazard and did not match my daughters daytime which had all her castings and work by date listed in it. The only positive was that she had some awesome portfolio tear sheets of her work (we had to nag to get them from the agency). Everything they are portraying here is absolutely true and it happens in the US and Canada too!
It is disgusting what happened to you and your daughter. Asians are very jealous of the European look. Especially the women . If we Caucasians sell to them our beauty that they are dying for at least sell it at a very very high price and we dictate the rules. If not, they can use their Asian looking girls for modeling. Period.
Me too, i used to be a model when I was young but I quit. The reason why I quit is because there were many dumb girls. I’m Japanese and I live in Tokyo, and whenever I go to auditions they make us write a profile on a piece of paper and so many girls around me asking how to write kanji, which means Japanese character, those kanjis that girls were asking each other were really an easy kanji that I’ve learned in primary school. It’s like Americans asking others how to spell an easy English spelling. So I thought I can’t continue working with those dummy girls.
FYI: if you have what it takes to actually be a desirable model, you're not going to have to pay your own way. Agencies are going to seek you out not the other way around lol.
These girls got it twisted. When you leave to work abroad your supposed to send money back home. Instead they need support from home to stay abroad. The whole system is dumb and predatory.
They're are all so beautiful with gorgeous Eurasian features! But so innocent and naïve and overworked. It's so sad. They've got a much fresher look than most supermodels that are pushed down our throats. This is borderline child abuse. Selling them an unattainable fantasy so they can be exploited. Sad.

Damn it takes a brave and desperate parent to send their kid off to another country without a trusted chaperone in sight. I know it is done out of desperation but damn.
Not necessarily, I'm from Australia and my mother sent me at 16 to Tokyo by myself. No desperation, she just thought the travel would be a great experience! I ended up modelling for four year in Japan, China, South Korea, Italy, France, Greece, etc. Not all modelling is terrible, but there are negative aspects. My modelling career in Shanghai was....weird, because it's so different from anywhere else in the world.
well the Chinese woman is the staff from the agency, so of course she's criticizing the model's height. Also Russians are not always taller than Chinese. Stop stereotyping

For anyone who doesn't know the industry, just blabbing and assuming the Chinese are the wrongful party: Remember, it is the Russian agency that the girls belong to. And it is the Russian agency who slaves the girls. If they treat the girls like subjects, and do not demand more of the Chinese fashion hosts, there is no reason for Chinese hosts to offer to pay more. As a model, my benefits are protected through my agency. If the agency scams me, it is simply absurd to cry for help to whoever host the fashion show. It is the Russian agencies fault that they did not start from the girls' benefit. I feel like that some people just like to trash and say it is the Chinese's industry that is the problem. But the truth is that most models who start out were not that glamorous as you would imagine. It is the same for us in Europe, as well as the ones in America. It is normal that you live in a small apartment and rush to every audition from dawn to dark. It is not just the Russian models in China.

To me, it's so interesting that everyone is freaking out about this, because the European agencies work the exact same way. You have to pay back your debt, which you made through travelling, building your portfolio etc., before you start earning money. This is just how it's done. This is actually a very accurate representation of modelling as I've experienced it. You live in a tiny flat with lots of girls, you run from casting to casting with all these beautiful girls, hardly ever get any work, and no one speaks your language. These girls at least have other Russian girls around them - in European cities you'll have girls of all different places (Ukrainian, Russian, Sudanian (is that how you spell it?), Polish, Dutch) live together and it's very difficult to communicate with each other. Any way, it just surprises me that people are so shocked, because this is not just Russia/Shanghai, this is Europe, and probably America.
they freaked out cuz they now have more reasons to specifically attack China cuz apparently we just deserve the demonization 🙄🙄🙄 it is called double standard and Sinophobia
But also what they described is how Western Europeans and Scandinavians look too XD blond and blue eyes and tall, thats exactly my country XD and we are able to speak english
I'm just gunna say it - from being a receptionist at an escort agency, I can guarantee most of these poor women are being forced into sex work. I had a lot of European women turn up at the agency because our boss had a deal with people in a few parts of Europe and they were promised $$$ every night for only a few hours work. They had to pay for tickets, accommodation etc and some left with little more than they arrived with. Part of the reason I left that job because the management sickened me! Sex work can be legal and ethical! People don't deserve false promises. Breaks my heart.
And how do you know that? Did you work in china for a escort agency (No you didnt)? If so, do you know for a fact the girls who work there came from russia and were hoping to become models or starting out as models (no you dont)? If you werent in china and if you dont know the origins and stories of the girls who worked there then you are just making things up.

Also White people didn't force their beauty standards on East Asia, so don't blame White people for this.
I used to be a model in China while I was studying there as an exchange student. The work conditions were awful like in the video, but, in fact, 200$ per one catwalk in bikini worth it. It was literally all my scholarship in one month. Living in shanghai is cruel, but when you work in smaller cities, the competition level is lower.

Tammy Chapman most models start out under the age of 18, and they'll have to pose in their underwear. Are you suggesting that all models are not just to be made "models"? This applies to models globally.
I was born into an advertising family and I’ve often thought that “modelling” is a cheap cop-out compared other careers in the world of graphic design. I’m well aware that some people get paid fortunes but that’s only for the exclusive and not for the majority.
Some years ago they made a big fuss over Kendall getting cigarette ashes on her drink at a fashion show, and whereas I do not approve of such action I couldn't help but sympathize with the girls who did it. They were probably in situations very similar to the girls in this documentary, and to have someone who clearly doesn't need to work, just come in as the runway messiah, and be gifted everything on a silver platter, when they have to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into just for some scraps. It must feel like a punch to the stomach, and to that add the fact that they're all basically high school age girls under immense amounts of pressure... Gosh, life's so unfair.
This is not right... it should be the agents in china or abroad the ones paying the models agency in russia for hiring models from them. The agencies abroad should also pay for the models' travels and accommodation. And these models should get their salary in full without any debt to their russian agency. That's the legit agency! But if you are milking your models empty for their hard earned money then their agency in russia is a human trafficker!
Joy its a business not a charity, agency do not want to operate at a loss. . my employer is not paying for apartment and my food and he does not take the burden of paying my traveling expenses. i can't see why you refuse to use that logic for the modeling industry.
@Lechiffresix six - And you clearly don't know how a legitimate modeling agency works.. Do you think 'Ford Models Europe', or 'Chic Model Management' have their models paying for their own airfares, or having to pay back the cost of flights and accommodation via a loan? No, these agencies take a 10-30% cut of the models' fee that is paid by the fashion label that wants them on the catwalk/magazine. The model incurs no cost other than any extra food or alcohol (or room upgrade) he/she wants to/from/during the event. It is not unusual for a well known model to charge $10,000USD for an appearance at a fashion gig, with even the unknown models still being priced (by the agency) at $2,000-$5,000USD per event (not including the cost of transport and accommodation, which the fashion label pays, NOT the model or the agency)
Many of these girls are working with little to no pay. The agency that sent them to China and the companies they are doing work for are collecting all of their profits. If they quit, they are in debt to the agency. Some of these girls are poor, so they keep working. Sounds like they are being trafficked to me. Just recently, a 14 year old Russian girl died in China doing this. The barely slept or ate. She was worked to death.
That Chill Kid yes this is trafficking. Called labor trafficking. They are working for nothing taking out of their childhood for a “better life”. At the end they will go home with empty hands because the money what they earn is covering only the expenses. But yeah they can be luckily if they make it back home again.
The problem is that to be an influencer, you have to show off a glamorous life and clothes which all cost money. These girls have nothing except their beauty which is why they accept difficult conditions for a chance of getting a slightly better life
Of COURSE they have to be 13-14, no grown person in their right MIND would EVER think 800￡for TWO months, out of your home country, is a good paying job!! Especially when it's as brutal and deminishing as this industry is! These girls are GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL girls, who are exploited by an industry that makes BILLIONS.
MsLadyofshalotte bruh, all models are scouted at that age and they will be taught how to model and pose for the camera until about 16 where they will then be sent for casting. A model's prime age is around late teens so of course it needs to be trained when they are around 14 yesrs old
MsLadyofshalotte Well I’m sorry to tell you but many people from the eastern parts of Europe make even shittier money... And after Shitxit,UK will be joining that wage group
I feel sorry for these girls. China likes to work these girls to the bone fully exploiting these girls. Low pay long hours. A girl died recently modelling in China from exhaustion. Working in China is equal to slave labour.

Don't attempt to throw accusations at someone just because you don't believe it, instead: LEARN.
I also think Siberian girls do better in Asia because they have slight Asian features and a little admixture, I believe. Look at their cheekbones and eye shapes. Yes, many have light eyes but more cat shaped. They look different to Western Europeans.
@Hafsa Shah Yes, the original Siberians were Asian yes, but over the years, there has been so much mixing. Hasn't there been a lot of mixing with Russians over the years and even before that ?
@Hafsa Oh yeah, and no, I don't think beauty comes with being European or having European features but genetically, you can tell these girls have European DNA. And yes, Middle Easterners and Europeans are related. Europeans are not indigenous Europe you know. They are believed to have originated in the Caucaus mountains which would have been more related to Middle Easterners. Modern European descend from these groups who moved into Europe later and also mixed with Neanderthals hence why Europeans have so much Neanderthal DNA.
@Hafsa Shah I'm not saying that you guys are European. I'm saying that you share a lot of DNA with modern Europeans. Are you guys counted as Uralic meaning you're related to Finns, Sami people?
I live in Shanghai and see these girls everywhere. It is just crazy how many girls from my country come here and try modeling jobs. So young and stubborn. I just hope they are all safe doing this.
the fact that they go to these poor areas and places to recruit girls says a lot about their practice. super easy for them to exploit these girls. so sad.
The scary part for me was the end. The girl going home, it was celebrated as a success story that she made £800 in two months after clearing her debt. I bet many of the girls will take 6-12 months to clear their debts so they will be stuck there.
That money really is good for a Russian in Siberia, the Chinese lady was telling the truth that it was good, most likely end up in debt, staying longer means the rent increases and if they aren't making money then the more desirable models will be getting the jobs and the poor girls and boys are left in a very tough situation.
Jeanine Tai If you want to start modeling you are already an naive idiot! That world is full of filth, bad people, drugs and sex trafficking!! The only famous girls are the ones who are already from rich families who have connections or were extremely lucky! The others usually get exploited and in a country they don't know
Lol! He is Louis' brother, man! Haha Yeah they are the best, I love Louis stuff and I've been seeing Marcel on here now, bothvof them are such a joy to watch
Bonjour Tristesse hah. Right? Yeah it's funny that Louis had said he didn't intend on being a journalist, and they both ended up doing it and being good at it. Sound exactly the same though
This is worth a movie. My heart has just sank. I am 19 yo, and I can't imagine how drastically different their life is from mine. I wish I could help everyone. This is a trap, we all know only few will work as models after a few years.
If it was so easy to make your life better just by you education level lol the average income in siberia is just above 5500 USD (it doesnt matter if youre well educated or not)
They look younger and fresher than American models. They are all so beautiful and natural and appear as lovely souls. So sad they get taken advantage of and paid so little.
What you forgot to mention: These girls mostly come from small villages, their parents have a little land, animals - they live from the land, zhey work with their hands. Life in Russia is harder. They are down to earth, that makes their yearning for a better situation often bigger. It is colder and harder over there, but the people are hearty.
LoonToon I’m American. At 15, I only had two ear lobe piercings and one cartilage. I didn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs. I didn’t have any tattoos either, and I still don’t. Many people say I look very young without makeup. Stop stereotyping
@@schizophrenicprojection5126 Understandable that American girls would need to take drugs having to live with American males. jfc I wouldn't wish that on my enemy.
I would be absolutely terrified to let my 15 yr old daughter leave home to model. Only starvation at home could possibly induce me to allow it. Not poverty, starvation.
I would *never* let any daughter (or son!) of mine do this. It just seems too risky. Most modelling careers end the moment the model hits their mid-20s or (at the latest) early 30s. Then they'll be unemployed and will have to find something else.
@@roove1537 its false and its just a common misconception. A model who are in a great shape can stay until 38,39 maybe. Look at angels of victoria secrets, most are in their 30 and they are still modeling. No surprising, they are gorgeous .Its not like you look like an old grandma at 30. Is still young. Do you really think that they send back models at age of 26 😂? Its too young
but you would let her get married and have babies, right? because going through child birth is peanuts compared to getting your picture taken by a bunch of foreigners. SMH
"1..2..3...Smell" Yeah, complaining that the other side doesn't know English (most of which is coming from the deep countryside in the middle of nowhere in Russia) and coming out with those language skills is pfffff...
I'm American working in China for a chinese company. I can say in all honestly my salary is the same as it would be in the US. I am also college educated so that helps. The reason I work here instead of the US is many reasons but for one, cost of living is cheaper in China.
I’m so fortunate to live in the United States but I do remember women like this and young girls walking around and trying to rope people into this and my mom would always say “that’s just human trafficking stay away from those people” mommas always right! Like no such thing as being discovered in a Walmart etc 💀💀 I feel so bad for these poor girls!
I was discovered randomly but was kicked out fast immediately bc I didn’t meet their expectations that’s why they didn’t want to give me exposure but without exposure you are useless bc the agency wants you to brings them profit. Got nothing off it but a ruined self esteem :/
It's scary when they spoke about how all their money goes to the agency and they have a debt to work off.. it's trafficking just under a different name..
It's SLAVERY and human trafficking.
You just said it so well... it’s modern trafficking
It works because "they" need your consent for it to work.
EXACTLY!!! Slavery : financial and othetwise!!
And this is why I never wanna work with them
They pay for their own rent, transport, airfare and living expenses, are in debt, the agency gets a commission, are overworked, tired and remain hungry, this seems like modern day slavery.
Debt Trap
problem is no one forced them.....Slavery was being forced this is not the same. Please use your chicken brain before you speak. They made a choice to be a model in China and thats what is happening. You can always refuse to go to China and being a model-
@Cowlan In every country, how come its only China.... Thats so racist.
@Cowlan I know ,I just literally said it. I mean if people are going to blame CHINA for being China. Thats sound racist for me. Because wage slavery is happening in all countries.
@Cowlan These model made a choice to go and being a model no one forced them. But they are talking trash saying that Chinese are being unhuman etc. Then probably just don't go there, just stay in your own country. Funny how they blame their life on others.
This looks like human trafficking to me. The scene where the photographer takes pictures of a fifteen years girl in underwear to send it to potential clients convince me.
Was just about to comment this.. and the heels? Creepy
Yeah.....no need to take photos of underage children in underwear.
Human trafficking is everywhere
Done is different manners
Yes!! My first thought!! Everything about this screamed sketchy
Heber gonzalez they're underage, their "choice" is an illusion.
My son is an international model, and has also worked in Japan, Korea, and China. He said that most of the girl's were from Russia & Ukraine and they were young & barely spoke any English. All the models, both male & female, would share a tiny, cramped apartment, and if you didn't get booked for enough jobs, they would send you home! They would also charge them all rent each month. If you didn't work enough, they would bill them, so not only would these girls get sent home, they didn't return with any money!
Disturbing
why in gods name did you let him do that?
If your son wants to be a model, he (or anybody who wants to be a model) should never model in Asia!!!

I am polish and also was send to Japan when I was 17 because of the “baby face” I met mostly Eastern European girls in Asia. I advice young girls to be careful, as many men are taking advantage of them but I think that’s universal.
Could you tell us how much money you made? And would you do it again if you were 17?
Why did you do it in the first place? Poland has several well-known universities. You have a good education system I think.
Max Mustermann . The agency pays ahead for the flight and apartment and then after some time we had to pay back from what we have earned, overall the money isn’t too bad if you get enough jobs. Yes, I would definitely do it again, I was very glad to have been send to Japan and Korea, as I have been interested in the culture before and it was a very special experience . However I would have been more cautious of the exploitation and also looked after my health more. The biggest problem though is that many times agencies lie about the real age of models, so that underage girls can attend adult parties etc. Yes indeed, there are some great universities but I wanted to take this opportunity before attending one.
@@weronikas1307 Thank you very much for the detailed reply!
What do you mean by exploitation? And with bad health you mean being super thin?
I thought it is only about catwalks and photoshoots. Are the girls supposed to drink alcohol and charm men at the adult parties?

China has no rules sometimes
Alot of young teens in Asia sometimes wear lingerie

this is sad. the reason why Chinese agencies hire Siberian girls is because they are the only European-looking girls that will agree to work for such a low salary. I bet people do not see many differences between a pretty Russian girl and a pretty German girl. Cheap labor - this is what they are looking for in Siberia.
Daria Ivanova it isn't cheap,they could get higher pay than the english teacher from usa or britain,maybe 2,000 RMB an hour, they are just amateur model and just work for 2 or 3 months in their summer vacation after all .
I doubt it, I can't say why Siberia is so popular but where I'm from I've known people to take internships for full-time work without even getting paid. I'm sure girls in more wealthier countries would model for nothing for the chance of fame and becoming a supermodel.

There's a interesting documentary of russian girls living in more isolated poorer places with not many job opportunities or proper education opportunities, so often times they also decide joining agencies and going to a casting with the support of their parents and participate in contests where the winners get to fly to china as well and they also mentioned many girls fail to really make a living out of themself there and end up in debts and even doing escort service to be able to make it through. I think this documentary is sort of not really talking about that, but it's a real thing and it should definitely be highlighted on.
The more I see these stories, the more I'm inclined towards studying hard and get a secure job, if I have raw talent for something, I would do that as a part time thing

not really. they probably have already finished middle school (9th grade), after which you can do whatever - go to high school (10-11th grade) and then to uni, go to college, just start working (tho obv not many choose that option)
they can continue their education (college and then even university) after they're done with modelling
They were born in a poor village, with no prospects. The state does nothing to develop these small settlements, so it's not surprising that people are looking for alternative ways to make money. It's Putin's fault that he does not raise the economy in the villages.
In UK we finish school at 15-16 so not really 🤗

I myself left school at 12... And i was not from a small place, the second biggest city of Russia actually. What makes you think anyone will care about Russian degrades while they never cared about our lives?
this seems predatory. they're taking girls off the street who had no previous interest in modelling and throwing them into a world of exploitation and unhealthiness
lol, tell that to the next pervert coercing a kid into having sex with them. they plant the seed, and then they'll keep making subtle comments mentioning it, modeling? no one ever goes far with it nowadays unless you're close with a celebrity. they mention the good things, but the true side of theirs, the side you'd call sinister? they cover it up and call it 'hard-work'. modeling is many girls' dreams, the mirror is their getaway, the phones' camera, Facetune and Instagram.
I agree, it'd be different if they were being discovered by some big well known agency and they were truly an anomaly and had what it took to make it big like Kate Moss for instance. They're just picking average looking semi pretty girls and giving them delusions of grandeur.

@@PrimaImperator yeah potentially under false pretense? And many of them are minors.... sooo
My thoughts exactly...
"After we work off the debt" -sounds like trafficking!
There is a difference between the very simple concept of sponsoring someone’s career and actual trafficking. Like, the whole training aso. isn’t cheap. So it’s understood that the agency wants to get its money worth quickly.

The agency pays for your flight, your apartment and gives you pocket money. They detract everything including their fees from your earnings and you go home with the rest.
It was agency risk. If you didn´t work, they lost money but if you put on weight you broke the contract. Nobody owed the agencies money though. The worst thing that happened is you got sent home prematurely with no wages.

I don't understand why the agency doesn't pay for their expenses. I mean they're the ones who will profit when one of their models gets selected.

I feel so bad for judging them because now I now what most of them are going through... such a sad thing to go through

@@ieat-bunnies-forbrunch English
Shanghai seems coop
Lol yeah they're been paid Chinese minimum wage. Minimum wage in China is about 3000 rmb a month
I worked as a software designer in Shenzhen, we used to joke that English teachers are the rock bottom on the salary scale of expats in China, but truly foreign models and DJs are the actual bottom of the barrel.
My daughter who is American got a “contract” in Taiwan several years ago, same type of “contract” these models have. She worked tirelessly (she was 16), appeared in several catalogs, Japanese Vogue etc. I actually had customers there who looked out for her while there. They even intervened in getting her copies of her paid work for her portfolio. Ended up in debt after three months. She left with no money from the contract and they did not ask for the difference. It was hard getting a true and accurate ledger of her earnings and work. The records they kept were very haphazard and did not match my daughters daytime which had all her castings and work by date listed in it. The only positive was that she had some awesome portfolio tear sheets of her work (we had to nag to get them from the agency). Everything they are portraying here is absolutely true and it happens in the US and Canada too!
It is disgusting what happened to you and your daughter. Asians are very jealous of the European look. Especially the women . If we Caucasians sell to them our beauty that they are dying for at least sell it at a very very high price and we dictate the rules. If not, they can use their Asian looking girls for modeling. Period.
And why did you let your daughter go across the world

i used to model at a younger age but later stopped because it is such a toxic industry.
wow, what made you stop? if i may ask
@@fhamdani99 An arrow in the knee.
Me too, i used to be a model when I was young but I quit. The reason why I quit is because there were many dumb girls. I’m Japanese and I live in Tokyo, and whenever I go to auditions they make us write a profile on a piece of paper and so many girls around me asking how to write kanji, which means Japanese character, those kanjis that girls were asking each other were really an easy kanji that I’ve learned in primary school. It’s like Americans asking others how to spell an easy English spelling. So I thought I can’t continue working with those dummy girls.
FYI: if you have what it takes to actually be a desirable model, you're not going to have to pay your own way. Agencies are going to seek you out not the other way around lol.
These girls got it twisted. When you leave to work abroad your supposed to send money back home. Instead they need support from home to stay abroad. The whole system is dumb and predatory.
@@stephengavin2208 yup. They getting scammed it is kind of sad.
What if you approach the agency seeking for a job as a model? Can they ask you money in that case?
Not true, it's industry standard for models to incur a debt to the agency. Just like the music industry.
They're are all so beautiful with gorgeous Eurasian features! But so innocent and naïve and overworked. It's so sad. They've got a much fresher look than most supermodels that are pushed down our throats.

Not necessarily, I'm from Australia and my mother sent me at 16 to Tokyo by myself. No desperation, she just thought the travel would be a great experience! I ended up modelling for four year in Japan, China, South Korea, Italy, France, Greece, etc.

For anyone who doesn't know the industry, just blabbing and assuming the Chinese are the wrongful party:
Remember, it is the Russian agency that the girls belong to. And it is the Russian agency who slaves the girls. If they treat the girls like subjects, and do not demand more of the Chinese fashion hosts, there is no reason for Chinese hosts to offer to pay more.
As a model, my benefits are protected through my agency. If the agency scams me, it is simply absurd to cry for help to whoever host the fashion show. It is the Russian agencies fault that they did not start from the girls' benefit.
I feel like that some people just like to trash and say it is the Chinese's industry that is the problem. But the truth is that most models who start out were not that glamorous as you would imagine. It is the same for us in Europe, as well as the ones in America. It is normal that you live in a small apartment and rush to every audition from dawn to dark. It is not just the Russian models in China.

To me, it's so interesting that everyone is freaking out about this, because the European agencies work the exact same way. You have to pay back your debt, which you made through travelling, building your portfolio etc., before you start earning money. This is just how it's done. This is actually a very accurate representation of modelling as I've experienced it. You live in a tiny flat with lots of girls, you run from casting to casting with all these beautiful girls, hardly ever get any work, and no one speaks your language. These girls at least have other Russian girls around them - in European cities you'll have girls of all different places (Ukrainian, Russian, Sudanian (is that how you spell it?), Polish, Dutch) live together and it's very difficult to communicate with each other. Any way, it just surprises me that people are so shocked, because this is not just Russia/Shanghai, this is Europe, and probably America.

Modeling is a disgusting industry, especially looking at it's origins💔
I'm just gunna say it - from being a receptionist at an escort agency, I can guarantee most of these poor women are being forced into sex work. I had a lot of European women turn up at the agency because our boss had a deal with people in a few parts of Europe and they were promised $$$ every night for only a few hours work. They had to pay for tickets, accommodation etc and some left with little more than they arrived with.
Part of the reason I left that job because the management sickened me!
Sex work can be legal and ethical! People don't deserve false promises. Breaks my heart.
And how do you know that? Did you work in china for a escort agency (No you didnt)? If so, do you know for a fact the girls who work there came from russia and were hoping to become models or starting out as models (no you dont)?
If you werent in china and if you dont know the origins and stories of the girls who worked there then you are just making things up.

@@littlegothgirl8869 I agree colorism is real, but that doesn't mean literally everyone who genuinely finds White/Eurocentric features beautiful is automatically "brainwashed." Everyone still has different opinions at the end of the day. So I'd say the Chinese in this video are generally colorist, but some random guy who gets a massive crush on a girl who happens to be White isn't colorist.
Also White people didn't force their beauty standards on East Asia, so don't blame White people for this.
I used to be a model in China while I was studying there as an exchange student.

show this to kendall jenner who 'choses' her castings
Some years ago they made a big fuss over Kendall getting cigarette ashes on her drink at a fashion show, and whereas I do not approve of such action I couldn't help but sympathize with the girls who did it. They were probably in situations very similar to the girls in this documentary, and to have someone who clearly doesn't need to work, just come in as the runway messiah, and be gifted everything on a silver platter, when they have to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into just for some scraps. It must feel like a punch to the stomach, and to that add the fact that they're all basically high school age girls under immense amounts of pressure... Gosh, life's so unfair.
CORRECTION!! She doesn't choose, she "cherry picks" .......get your facts straight about our favorite douches please madame. Thank you. :-)

What do you want her to do about it?

This is not right... it should be the agents in china or abroad the ones paying the models agency in russia for hiring models from them. The agencies abroad should also pay for the models' travels and accommodation. And these models should get their salary in full without any debt to their russian agency. That's the legit agency! But if you are milking your models empty for their hard earned money then their agency in russia is a human trafficker!
Joy its a business not a charity, agency do not want to operate at a loss. . my employer is not paying for apartment and my food and he does not take the burden of paying my traveling expenses. i can't see why you refuse to use that logic for the modeling industry.
Hello from England beautiful
You clearly dont understand business and how tough the modeling world is.
@Lechiffresix six
- And you clearly don't know how a legitimate modeling agency works.. Do you think 'Ford Models Europe', or 'Chic Model Management' have their models paying for their own airfares, or having to pay back the cost of flights and accommodation via a loan? No, these agencies take a 10-30% cut of the models' fee that is paid by the fashion label that wants them on the catwalk/magazine. The model incurs no cost other than any extra food or alcohol (or room upgrade) he/she wants to/from/during the event. It is not unusual for a well known model to charge $10,000USD for an appearance at a fashion gig, with even the unknown models still being priced (by the agency) at $2,000-$5,000USD per event (not including the cost of transport and accommodation, which the fashion label pays, NOT the model or the agency)
FunkteonRecordings supply and demand, right to contract. If you choose to work for a certain amount and pay, blame who......not the agency
These girls are very beautiful....and they are being trafficked.
Lmao not everyone is going to be trafficked
Many of these girls are working with little to no pay. The agency that sent them to China and the companies they are doing work for are collecting all of their profits. If they quit, they are in debt to the agency. Some of these girls are poor, so they keep working. Sounds like they are being trafficked to me.
Just recently, a 14 year old Russian girl died in China doing this. The barely slept or ate. She was worked to death.
That Chill Kid yes this is trafficking. Called labor trafficking. They are working for nothing taking out of their childhood for a “better life”. At the end they will go home with empty hands because the money what they earn is covering only the expenses. But yeah they can be luckily if they make it back home again.
That Chill Kid get real these vulnerable girls are going to be exploited every which way
Nahh It's not y'all always gotta be negative Ima be an model so Ima let y'all know how it really is
Those models can be social media influencers. They wouldn’t need to do these.
@Oke Ihenacho yeah. Good point. They do the same thing, but at least most of those influencers are 18+.
The problem is that to be an influencer, you have to show off a glamorous life and clothes which all cost money. These girls have nothing except their beauty which is why they accept difficult conditions for a chance of getting a slightly better life
social media is saturated
Influencers are just as bad as being trafficked lol
Of COURSE they have to be 13-14, no grown person in their right MIND would EVER think 800￡for TWO months, out of your home country, is a good paying job!!

MsLadyofshalotte bruh, all models are scouted at that age and they will be taught how to model and pose for the camera until about 16 where they will then be sent for casting. A model's prime age is around late teens so of course it needs to be trained when they are around 14 yesrs old
MsLadyofshalotte exactly. 800 pounds for 2 months living in a dorm and barely getting any money lifestyle etc. It smells like exploitation.

And after Shitxit,UK will be joining that wage group
In reality, if you’re really wanted as a model, the agency will pay all expenses for you.
In NY
The agency will never pay the expenses. Sometimes a client will pay for the expenses for high profile models/really big jobs... never the agency.

It's actually COMMON for models to suddenly just collapse. They are given such strict diets and some must even starve themselves, otherwise, they aren't worthy to the company and constantly criticized. It's both mentally and physically exhausting.

@Hafsa Shah Well the term Asia is just lines on a map. Genetically speaking they are related to other Europeans but with some admixture.
@Hafsa Shah Yes, the original Siberians were Asian yes, but over the years, there has been so much mixing. Hasn't there been a lot of mixing with Russians over the years and even before that ?
@Hafsa Oh yeah, and no, I don't think beauty comes with being European or having European features but genetically, you can tell these girls have European DNA. And yes, Middle Easterners and Europeans are related. Europeans are not indigenous Europe you know. They are believed to have originated in the Caucaus mountains which would have been more related to Middle Easterners. Modern European descend from these groups who moved into Europe later and also mixed with Neanderthals hence why Europeans have so much Neanderthal DNA.
@Hafsa Shah I'm not saying that you guys are European. I'm saying that you share a lot of DNA with modern Europeans. Are you guys counted as Uralic meaning you're related to Finns, Sami people?
They are Eurasian.
I live in Shanghai and see these girls everywhere. It is just crazy how many girls from my country come here and try modeling jobs. So young and stubborn. I just hope they are all safe doing this.

They are most definitely not safe or happy.
the fact that they go to these poor areas and places to recruit girls says a lot about their practice. super easy for them to exploit these girls. so sad.
The scary part for me was the end. The girl going home, it was celebrated as a success story that she made £800 in two months after clearing her debt. I bet many of the girls will take 6-12 months to clear their debts so they will be stuck there.
That money really is good for a Russian in Siberia, the Chinese lady was telling the truth that it was good, most likely end up in debt, staying longer means the rent increases and if they aren't making money then the more desirable models will be getting the jobs and the poor girls and boys are left in a very tough situation.

If it was so easy to make your life better just by you education level lol the average income in siberia is just above 5500 USD (it doesnt matter if youre well educated or not)
They look younger and fresher than American models. They are all so beautiful and natural and appear as lovely souls. So sad they get taken advantage of and paid so little.
They are in their teens. They look younger because they are
What are you taking about they are 19 these girls are still babies 😂😂
What you forgot to mention:
These girls mostly come from small villages, their parents have a little land, animals - they live from the land, zhey work with their hands.
Life in Russia is harder. They are down to earth, that makes their yearning for a better situation often bigger.
It is colder and harder over there,
but the people are hearty.
LoonToon I’m American. At 15, I only had two ear lobe piercings and one cartilage. I didn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs. I didn’t have any tattoos either, and I still don’t. Many people say I look very young without makeup. Stop stereotyping
@@schizophrenicprojection5126 Understandable that American girls would need to take drugs having to live with American males. jfc I wouldn't wish that on my enemy.
I would be absolutely terrified to let my 15 yr old daughter leave home to model. Only starvation at home could possibly induce me to allow it. Not poverty, starvation.
But they starve the models too lmao.
I would *never* let any daughter (or son!) of mine do this. It just seems too risky. Most modelling careers end the moment the model hits their mid-20s or (at the latest) early 30s. Then they'll be unemployed and will have to find something else.
same!
@@roove1537 its false and its just a common misconception. A model who are in a great shape can stay until 38,39 maybe. Look at angels of victoria secrets, most are in their 30 and they are still modeling. No surprising, they are gorgeous .Its not like you look like an old grandma at 30. Is still young. Do you really think that they send back models at age of 26 😂? Its too young
but you would let her get married and have babies, right? because going through child birth is peanuts compared to getting your picture taken by a bunch of foreigners. SMH
"1..2..3...Smell"
Yeah, complaining that the other side doesn't know English (most of which is coming from the deep countryside in the middle of nowhere in Russia) and coming out with those language skills is pfffff...
I don't think I've ever looked at so many gorgeous women and felt so sad before, so good reporting I guess
Gorgeous girl's

most of them aren’t even fully grown women. they’re like teen girls....
Moral of the story don’t work for the Chinese they are the worst bosses out there. Long hours and no pay.
I'm American working in China for a chinese company. I can say in all honestly my salary is the same as it would be in the US. I am also college educated so that helps. The reason I work here instead of the US is many reasons but for one, cost of living is cheaper in China.
No, check models are being exploited in France. It’s everywhere tbh
^ sellouts
@@GavonXO wont trust your comment coz youve a chinese name
@@GavonXO which sounds suspicious. Well you're a man anyway lol
That is why, This saying is absolutely true, " All glitters are not Gold".
😢
@@Falak8-c9s some truths are bitter!
All that glitters isn't gold
I’m so fortunate to live in the United States but I do remember women like this and young girls walking around and trying to rope people into this and my mom would always say “that’s just human trafficking stay away from those people” mommas always right! Like no such thing as being discovered in a Walmart etc 💀💀 I feel so bad for these poor girls!
I was discovered randomly but was kicked out fast immediately bc I didn’t meet their expectations that’s why they didn’t want to give me exposure but without exposure you are useless bc the agency wants you to brings them profit. Got nothing off it but a ruined self esteem :/
“I am so fortunate” 🙄 condescending
