Actress Shim Eun-ha has publicly shared her current status for the first time since the 'return fraud controversy' in 2023. On the 19th, Shim made an unusual appearance by sending a congratulatory voice message to comedian Shim Hyun-seop's wedding during the TV CHOSUN entertainment program 'Lovers of Joseon.'
The broadcast revealed the 'first wedding' of 54-year-old Shim Hyun-seop. Amid a crowd of 1,400 guests, actress Shim Eun-ha, known as part of the 'Cheongsong Shim family,' surprised everyone with her voice appearance. The congratulatory message delivered in her own voice after 19 years away from the entertainment industry was brief but left a profound echo.
Since she ceased her acting career in 2005 and married former National Assembly member Ji Sang-wook, Shim Eun-ha has been living a quiet life with their two daughters. As she has not made any public appearances or revealed her voice since then, this broadcast became a significant moment for her fans. The couple sent a floral wreath to the wedding.
Earlier in February 2023, production company By Four M Studio announced, 'We signed a contract with Shim Eun-ha for a drama and provided a contract fee of 1.5 billion won,' but this was revealed to be a fraud perpetuated by individual A, who impersonated 'Shim Eun-ha's representative.' Shim's side denied the contract, stating, 'We are not involved at all,' and By Four M Studio made an official apology and disclosed the details of the incident.
At the time, Shim Eun-ha's side noted that they were carefully considering the possibility of a return.
This episode of 'Lovers of Joseon,' featuring Shim Eun-ha's voice, is once again raising expectations for her 'return' among fans. The attention is focused on what official steps Shim Eun-ha will take next.
