Minka

Minka was born on September 7, 1970 (some sources such as IAFD, lists 1960 as her actual year of birth), in Seoul, South Korea. She spent her early years in South Korea, where she attended college and developed a strong aptitude for tennis, competing at a high level. In 1993, she immigrated to the United States to participate in the Asian Olympics in Chicago, Illinois, where she and her partner won a gold medal in women’s doubles. Initially intending to become a professional tennis instructor, she faced challenges passing the licensing exam due to limited English proficiency, prompting her to explore other career paths. Her ethnicity is Korean, with some sources noting mixed French and Vietnamese ancestry from her parents. Professionally, she is known as Minka, though she has been credited under names like Michelle Kim in early contexts. Her entry into adult content began in 1994 at age 24, after sending a modeling portfolio to British adult photographer and director John Graham. She traveled to England to work with him, starting as a nude model before returning to the U.S. and debuting in hardcore adult films in 1995 with Duke of Knockers 2. Her career was driven by her striking physical attributes and a shift from tennis to modeling. Minka has worked with studios and websites such as Vivid Entertainment, Score, VSP, Bizarre Video, Sunshine Films, Starr Productions, Big Top …
