Mia Kang (born 30 December 1988) is a fashion model, Muay Thai fighter, body positivity advocate, and television host. Kang grew up in Hong Kong as an overweight girl, but halved her weight at the age of 13, and was immediately scouted as a model. She modeled across Asia and Europe through her high school and college years. Kang got a master's degree in finance in England, and left modeling to work as a commodities trader, before returning to modeling in New York City and winning the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model search and 2017 Rookie of the Year.
Despite her modeling success, Kang was miserable with the eating disorders that she felt the modeling industry demanded to stay thin, until she took up the martial art Muay Thai in Thailand. Training and fighting gained her respect for her body, healthy eating habits, weight and muscle. She now advocates for women's body positivity, while continuing to model at her larger size, and hosting Spy Games, an American reality competition television series.
