Korean Band Member Gets a WoW Makeover

A member of Korean girl group So Nyeo Shi Dae has received the WoW treatment, as revealed on the official forums by a random poster earlier today. Kim Hyo Yeon, noted for her dancing skill in particular, has appeared in a doctored Blizzard wallpaper, entitled Hyork, as seen below.
Why she was picked out of all the celebrities in the world, I don't know, but hopefully this will spawn many other pictures of a similar vein. I can think of so many already....

That looks just wrong on sooo many levels.

It might be a marketing promotion so they used a Korean girl. I know I would not touch that muscular girl for sure.

At the first blizzcon, there were several very nice looking asian women dressed up in rather appealing succubus outfits....
But, that is much different than the above.

yah... they should've used BlizzCon as reference material when deciding what kind of avatar to put her face on. This orc pic looks freaky as hell.

Why a Korean celeb?
Should be obvious, I mean, the S. Koreans practically worship Blizzard for all intents and purposes. Doing nice things for your followers tends to make them even more loyal.
Plus, she's probably one of the hottest commodities on the S. Korean market right now, so it would make even more sense. Think of it, as using the Spice Girls at the height of their popularity or Britney. No different really.
As for her make-over.
Personally don't see what's unappealing about it, but then again tastes differ.

I think... its a little bit to masculine if you ask me. But then again she is supposed to be a female Orc.

A Blood Elf or Night Elf I woul've expected.. a Troll or Gnome I would've accepted.. but an Orc? Yegh. Somehow the combination of a sweet Asian face and a firm set of abs don't match. The little hearts on her belt make it even worse. 
However, I have to agree that I'm now curious to see other such works. How about Angelina Jolie as a Night Elf Druid? Snoop Dogg as a Troll Priest? Or Johnny Depp as a Blood Elf Rogue? Oh, I'd surely love to see him all wrapped in tight black leather. ^^
