The wait has been long for fans of "Asia's Next Top Model." The reality show returns on television with a new season, new contestants and a new set of judges. When there's so much freshness in a television show, there's bound to be an element of excitement.
Cycle 4's grand premiere will capture the 14 finalists who've made it to the reality series. Countries such as Myanmar, South Korea and Mongolia have sent their representatives. The cast for the upcoming season also includes some luminaries in the modelling industry.
Hong Kong's Jessica Lam has appeared in a commercial with supermodel Kendall Jenner, whereas Philippines' Alaiza Malinao has been named among Cosmopolitan Philippines' top 8 sexiest models for 2015. The fan-favourite for this cycle seems to be Vietnam's Ngô Thị Quỳnh aka Mai Ngo.
