All about Yumi Nu the model on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover

Born on September 23, 1996, Yumi Nu is the daughter of Brent Nu and Kana Grace Nootenboom. Her family moved to California from New Jersey when she was very young. As for her , Nu was born in America but she has Japanese and Dutch roots. While talking to Vogue Magazine, the 25-year-old revealed that her Japanese heritage plays a big factor in what she chooses to do for work: “I didn’t see myself [in the media] when I was a kid. Not just my race, but my body type as well. There just wasn’t anyone on television or magazines who looked like me. It felt like Asian representation was last on the list. Asian plus-size representation was unheard of back then [especially] in fashion. To represent a group of people who have never felt seen has been so healing for me and hopefully also for them.” $3 Besides being a model, Yumi Nu is also a renowned singer and songwriter with Dim Mak records. She is the niece of American DJ and producer Steve Aoki. This is not the first time that Nu has been featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. In 2021, she appeared in the magazine as the first-ever Asian plus-size model. While talking to the magazine for this year's edition, Nu said she was very excited to be a part of the project and "knew it would feel different than my rookie year.” “I felt more confident and less afraid going into it, which brought a new energy to my shoot. I still had those big-shoot jitters, but everyone at SI is truly family now, so all nervousness went away so fast.”
