“Asia’s Next Top Model” announced its contestants for Cycle 5 last Friday (10th February) and it includes 2 up-and-coming young Malaysian models – Alicia Amin and Shikin Gomez!

Based on popular reality show, “America’s Next Top Model”, the 5th instalment of “Asia’s Next Top Model” will be hosted by Cindy Sirinya, a Thai-American supermodel and actress, with Los Angeles-based photographer Yu Tsai as creative consultant. Hong Kong-based model Cara Grogan-McIlroy replaces Indonesian model Kelly Tandiono as model mentor while Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe 2015, is set to serve as a guest judge for a couple of episodes.

22-year-old Amin and 24-year-old Gomez will be following the footsteps of former Malaysian contestant, Tuti (real name Nuraini Noor), the first Malay and Muslim to join the competition, to represent Malaysia in the reality show.

The girls will be competing with 12 other hopefuls from other Asian countries, such as Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Philippines, for the Top Model title.

Here’s what you need to know about Amin and Gomez:
