'Sugar' new year's party was absent, but… Park Soo-jin's recent news shared through Kim Sung-eun 'causing an explosion of interest'
Former Sugar group member and actress Park Soo-jin caught the fans' attention by reappearing after a long time through her close friend Kim Sung-eun. Particularly, attention is focused as it was revealed that Ayumi, Yook Hye-seung, and Hwang Jung-eum, excluding Park Soo-jin, held a 'Sugar new year's party' reuniting for the first time in 20 years.
Earlier in March, through the SBS Plus and E Channel variety show 'Because I'm Solo', the Sugar members who gathered under the name 'Burning New Year Party' showcased powerful performances and spontaneous dance moves, demonstrating fiery chemistry. Fans' expectations grew, wondering if the day would come when they would stand on stage again. However, the absence of Park Soo-jin at the gathering created a sense of disappointment.
In the meantime, recent updates about Park Soo-jin shared through Kim Sung-eun's social media are bringing joy. Kim Sung-eun posted a photo of Park Soo-jin exercising together at a Pilates studio, along with the caption, 'My workout mate, my close friend Soo.' In the photo, Park Soo-jin, wearing black workout clothes with long hair, showcased her toned body and pure beauty, continuing to impress with her 'idol visuals.'
Internet users showed strong reactions, saying, 'I thought she was really a ballerina,' 'I want to see the complete Sugar again,' and 'She still looks so beautiful.'
Park Soo-jin caught public attention when she married actor Bae Yong-joon in 2015, overcoming a 13-year age difference. In just a year after their marriage in 2016, they welcomed their first son, and in 2018, they became parents of a second daughter. However, during the second childbirth, she faced controversy over the preferential treatment related to the hospital's NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and issues surrounding postpartum recovery center visits, leading her to effectively halt her activities in the entertainment industry after issuing a handwritten apology.
The last time Park Soo-jin appeared on broadcast was in 2016 on Olive TV's 'Oksudong Apprentice.' In 2022, amid rumors of relocating to Hawaii, rumors of the couple's retirement from the entertainment industry surfaced, and it has been reported that they are currently living in Hawaii, USA, for their children's education.
Although she did not participate in the complete meeting of 'Sugar,' public interest in Park Soo-jin remains high, solely from this update shared by Kim Sung-eun. Fans are still hoping, 'I wish to see the complete Sugar stage again someday.'
