As a senior in high school, Playboy magazine came calling to Yi’s doorstep. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Yi is of Korean decent. She was in her mid-teens when her family moved to Denver Colorado. Yi is also the first Asian model to grace the set of the Price is Right. Listed under Yi’s personal quotes for her first ever Playboy shoot: “The funny thing was, I didn’t know Playboy had nudity.” That must have been a surprise! Along with being a “Barker Beauty,” Yi has landed numerous modeling gigs and was regularly seen in Playboy films from 1998-2001.
