"It felt like a high school student"… Following Hwang Jung-eum's recent update from Hawaii, Kim Sung-eun shared a potential 'sighting in Korea' of Park Soo-jin, causing fans to buzz.
Interest in actress Park Soo-jin is once again heating up. She had been reported to be focusing on parenting in Hawaii for some time, but recently, a photo seemingly captured in Korea was shared through her close friend Kim Sung-eun's social media, eliciting joy from her fans.
Previously, in a March broadcast of SBS Plus and E Channel's reality show 'Solo, So,' Hwang Jung-eum, Ayumi, and Yuk Hye-seung reunited after over 20 years to enjoy a 'fiery New Year's party.' On that day, Hwang Jung-eum said, "I'm so thankful that we have been together for 23 years. It's touching to have friends that I can gather with at a moment's notice."
Particularly, regarding the fact that the full group was not present, Ayumi expressed, "It would have been nice if Soo-jin were here too. She is overseas…" while Hwang Jung-eum conveyed, "She is living well while raising the kids in Hawaii," drawing attention to Park Soo-jin's recent life. Hwang Jung-eum continued, "I visited Hawaii and saw Soo-jin… She felt like a high school student. She is living beautifully. She is just a baby mother. I told her let's meet up when she comes to Korea," expressing admiration for Park Soo-jin's 'youthful visual.'
Thus, amidst the members' genuine longing, interest in Park Soo-jin's recent developments grew, and soon after, Kim Sung-eun's social media revealed Park Soo-jin's 'current appearance,' creating a significant reaction.
Recently, Kim Sung-eun shared on her Instagram story, "My workout mate, my best friend Soo," along with a photo of herself exercising with Park Soo-jin at a pilates studio. In the photo, Park Soo-jin wore black workout clothes with long hair, capturing attention with her smooth figure and unchanged pure visuals. The elegant atmosphere led to comments such as "I really thought she was a high school student" and "She looks just like she did during her idol days."
Internet users expressed their delight and surprise, saying, "Did she come to Korea, not Hawaii?" "Did Kim Sung-eun go to Hawaii?" "It's been a while since I heard news, so I'm glad to see this," "Is that really the truth about her youthful appearance… The comment that she looks like a high school student isn't an exaggeration."
Meanwhile, Park Soo-jin married Bae Yong-joon in 2015 and has one son and one daughter. During her second childbirth, she became embroiled in controversy over preferential treatment in using the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit and visitation issues, leading her to release a handwritten apology and subsequently halt her broadcasting activities completely. Her last broadcast was in 2016 on Olive TV's 'Okusandong's Disciple.'
In 2022, it was reported that Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin relocated to Hawaii, America, for their children's education. Recently, Yonsei University Medical Center revealed that Bae Yong-joon donated 3 billion won for low-income treatment costs. Although there are no official activities, Park Soo-jin is fondly missed by her members and fans. Interest is gathering as Hwang Jung-eum's 'high school student beauty' and Kim Sung-eun's 'sighting in Korea' have added to the conversation.
