Paris ‘Loves Everything About Korea’

A barrage of flashing cameras greeted hotel heiress and American celebrity Paris Hilton when she attended her first press conference in Seoul, Friday.

Hilton, who is currently in Seoul for a promotional tour sponsored by sportswear brand Fila Korea, smiled and showed off her trademark pose for photographers and cameramen at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

With her upswept blonde hair and glowing tan, Hilton wore a gold puffer vest, hot pink track jacket, gray tank top and purple track pants. Everything she wore, except for a pink Chanel purse, was from Fila’s collection, which she is endorsing.

The 27-year old fashionista, who is often seen wearing high-end designer brands, declared she loves the Fila brand. “I love Fila. Girls who wear Fila have great style too. I love to mix the colors. The Fila brand comes in all different colors, so I can mix and match them. My favorite color is pink, so I wore this today,” she said.

This is her first time in Korea, so she gushed about the beautiful Korean scenery. Hilton also said she loved bibimbap and would like to eat more of it during her trip.

“I love everything about Korea. People are amazing. I look forward to coming here more often. I wish I had more time here. I’d love to see the Korean palaces, architecture and old streets,” she said.

Hilton, an heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune, sees Korea as a great market for her brand. “My fashion line is also coming out, which is clothing, outerwear, shoes, purses and jewelry. Also next is real estate, like hotels and restaurants. I try to be as professional as possible. I’m very excited to be in Korea. This is a great market for me. I’m happy to be here right now,” she said.

As for her acting roles, Hilton said she appears in the romantic comedy “The Hottie and the Naughty” to be released in February. She also just finished shooting “Repo: The Genetic Opera,” and is developing another TV show.

When asked how she feels about the paparazzi following her every move, Hilton said she understands the photographers are only doing their job. “I respect that. I can’t complain about it. I love my life and I don’t let it bother me,” she said.

On Thursday, Hilton filmed scenes for her guest appearance on the popular MBC show “Reckless Challenge” (Muhandojeon) at the Korea House in Pil-dong. She said she wore a “gorgeous Korean wedding dress” (hanbok) for the show.

Hilton’s one-year contract with Fila Korea is reportedly worth $1 million. Fila chose Hilton as its model last March because of her sexy, fashionable image. However, her ads were temporarily pulled last June, when she was sentenced to a 45-day jail term on a drunk driving charge.
