LAS VEGAS – Veteran adult performer Minka remains a favorite of breast lovers everywhere. Small wonder — or rather, really big wonders. Minka’s enhanced breasts have grown from an ample F cup to a KKK cup, and they’re still growing.
Before the South Korea-born performer entered the adult industry, she won gold medals in tennis, singles and doubles, during the 1993 Asian Olympics. Then, with a degree from a South Korean university in hand, she attempted to find employment teaching tennis in the U.S. Alas, initially she was unable to pass a qualifying exam because, back then, her English skills were poor.
As YNOT.com discovered, things have changed for the 5’8”, 133-pound Asian star. She began appearing in adult magazines in 1995 and shortly thereafter embarked on a career in the adult video industry. She has appeared in more than 130 adult films.
YNOT: So you came to America as a tennis player. How did you get into porn?
Minka: My tennis partner saw my shape in the shower after a match during the Asian Olympic Games in Chicago in 1993 and suggested I become a nude model instead of a tennis instructor.
Why did you take that suggestion?
The money.
Over the years, you have put a lot of time and money into increasing your bust measurement. Why?
To stay in the adult business a long time, you need something that will attract fans for a long time. Having big boobs does that.
The adult business is an eat-them-up-and-throw-them-away business, and most girls are thrown away after a short period of time.
You currently use string implants to keep your breasts growing. How do they work? Are there any risks to using them?
After the string is implanted, the doctor injects saline into the string, and that makes the string swell up.
There were five women that got string implants, and all of them had problems except for me.
[Ed.: String implants, technically known as polypropylene implants, were banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2001. The other four adult performers known to have received them are Chelsea Charms, Maxi Mounds, Kayla Kleevage and Teddi Barrett.]
What are the pros and cons of having such large breasts?
The pros are having people look at me. There are no cons for me. I like the attention.
Do your breasts help you to stay at the forefront of porn and stay in demand as an actress?
Absolutely.
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you during your career?
I was at a Burger King one time, and a real fat woman was standing in front of me. And I mean really fat.
She turned around and looked at me and said, “that is disgusting.” She then ordered two Whoppers and two large fries and a diet soda.
I said, “Lady, I don’t think a diet soda is going to help you in your fat condition.”
Everyone in the place started laughing!
What lessons have you learned about the adult business from which others might learn?
Stay away from drugs and boyfriends. Drugs will ruin you, and boyfriends will take your money and leave you broke.
What is one thing few people know about you?
I am a normal person away from this business.
