CARMEN SOO





Carmen Soo Wai Mun (born October 14, 1977 in Kuala Lumpur) is a Malaysian fashion model and actress. At the age of 17, Soo ventured into modeling and left Malaysia at the age of 20 for Hong Kong, to pursue her modeling career. At 160cm tall, her petite size is not conducive to catwalk modelling, hence most of her shoots tend to be print and television commercials. However, she has had quite a lot of success within that area, gracing many local magazine covers such as NewMan, V Mag, NewTide and NuYou. She also has been recruited as the spokesperson for international watch brand Longines, along with Malaysian theatre personality Paula Malai Ali. Soo landed herself a minor acting role in a Jackie Chan movie entitled 'Gorgeous' alongside with Shu Qi and later on played the leading actress in Aaron Kwok's musical special. Her latest appearance was a stage play entitled 'The Girl from Ipoh' and a Celcom advertisement with Singaporean singer, JJ Lin. She owns a boutique named 'Kushi' located in Bangsar. Her most recent acting role is in Trio & a Bed, where she is one of the three female leads, together with Amber Chia & Annabelle Kong. The show also stars three other male counterparts as their various and overlapping love interests - Daniel Tan, and Jeffery Chong. Carmen is also doing a soap with Philippine actor Jericho Rosales to be aired in the Philippines (ABS-CBN) and Malaysia. Carmen can speak fluent Malay, Mandarin cantonese and English.
