A remarkable connection has been made as comedian Kim Ji-hye's daughter and comedian Park Seong-ho's son are both entering the same high school.
On the 5th, Kim Ji-hye posted on her personal social media account, "Park Jun-hyung's daughter and Park Seong-ho's son are entering the same high school through this connection. Amazing, amazing. The dads are 97 KBS colleagues, and their children are 2025 Sunhwa colleagues. From 'the same old story' to yodel songs. Respect."
The photo shows Park Jun-hyung and Kim Ji-hye's daughter Hye-i and Park Seong-ho's son Jeong-bin meeting at the entrance ceremony of Sunhwa Arts High School. Jeong-bin is known to major in contemporary dance, while Hye-i is known to major in art.
Earlier, Park Seong-ho revealed that he once dreamed of becoming in-laws with Park Jun-hyung and Kim Ji-hye through a variety show. He noted, "Park Jun-hyung saw my son's photo and said he was handsome, so I dreamed of getting in-laws. I think it would be reassuring to have such a wonderful mother-in-law like (Kim) Ji-hye."
In response, Kim Ji-hye quipped, "I'll give my card to my son-in-law later. Can our Hye-i handle that?" showcasing her generous future mother-in-law attitude, which drew laughter.
If stories about Hye-i and Jeong-bin become in-laws are circulating, the eldest daughter Jun-i is also having discussions about becoming in-laws with 'Ok Dong-ja' Jeong Jong-cheol's son Si-hu.
Earlier, in a conversation released by Park Jun-hyung, Jeong Jong-cheol said, "Jun-i (Park Jun-hyung's daughter) will surely like him. We need to become in-laws to give birth to a super comedian. To bring this about, we need to arrange a meeting between Jun-i and Si-hu quickly," to which Park Jun-hyung also responded, "Just looking at (Si-hu) makes him seem promising. Look at those legs that defy his father's height. We've succeeded in genetic improvement. The super comedian project starts now. This is a victory in one man's DNA improvement, but a great step for humanity."
However, Park Jun-hyung said, "Is this an unachievable dream? Is it a dream that can be achieved? If Park Jun-i sees this, she won't let me rest," expressing concern about his daughter's reaction.
Meanwhile, Park Jun-hyung debuted as a comedian in the KBS 13th open recruitment in 1997. Kim Ji-hye debuted as a comedian in the KBS 14th open recruitment in 1999. The couple married in 2005 and have two daughters.
