Survivor Cagayan’s Woo Hwang Appears in New iPhone Commercial (Video)
Woo Hwang made it to Final Tribal Council in Survivor: Cagayan, but the former player is doing just fine in life after being a castaway as a model/actor.
Woo Hwang made a blunder in his first time playing Survivor, electing to take Tony Vlachos to Final Tribal Council in Cagayan. He returned three seasons later to play Survivor: Cambodia, Second Chance, but didn’t enjoy the same success as he was voted out after 16 days. Since then, though, the former martial arts instructor has been doing quite alright for himself.
The dapper Woo was always a beast when it came to challenges, possessing great physical prowess in Survivor. Since not being stranded in remote locations, though, he’s used his physical shape and striking features to start a modeling career—recently being a part of New York Fashion Week.
As part of his modeling work, Woo is now going to be seen by millions of television viewers—likely on a daily basis. That’s because the former castaway is featured heavily in the latest 15-second spot for Apple iPhone 7 that highlights the Portrait Mode of the phone’s camera with Woo playing the ad’s titular “Boyfriend:”
Looking good, Woo!
We’ve seen other former Survivor castaways use their exposure on the show, and obviously their good looks, to make a foray into modeling. Fabio Birza, the winner from Season 21 Survivor: Nicaragua, has become a successful male model since becoming the Sole Survivor. There are others, but it’s clear that Woo is just getting started.

Considering that he’s doing well in modeling, it’s unlikely that we’ll see Woo Hwang back for a third try at winning the $1 million on Survivor—though we’ve learned to never say never with the show. That’s a shame, though, as he was always humorous, entertaining, and quite skilled at the game. Nonetheless, we wish Woo the best whether he ever returns to the game or just continues to rise up in the modeling/acting world.
