Paik Jong-won·So Yu-jin couple's youngest daughter, Se-eun, has recently become a hot topic through broadcasts and social media for her "idol center-level visuals." Her recent rapid growth, impossible to believe for her young age of 8, was revealed and drew netizens' attention.
On the Jan. 17 broadcast of MBC's variety show "The Chef of the Antarctic," Paik Jong-won's departure process heading to the South Korean Antarctic research station was depicted. After a total of 31 hours of long-distance travel, Paik Jong-won arrived at a transit airport and said, "I've been to so many places I haven't missed any in the world, but this is the first time it's taken this long. Yet I still haven't made it to the Antarctic," expressing surprise.
At that time, a one-line message sent by his youngest daughter Se-eun arrived on his cellphone. "Dad, please be careful and have a good trip to the Antarctic." Se-eun, who had stayed by Paik Jong-won's side while he was exercising on a treadmill at home before departure, has suddenly grown up. Her warm support moved viewers as well.
Earlier, Paik Jong-won's wife and actress So Yu-jin revealed Se-eun's recent appearance through her personal channel. She also released a video showing the process of getting a straight perm while saying, "I want my hair like the NewJeans sisters." While getting a perm, So Yu-jin danced beside her, and Se-eun, with an expression meaning "that's not the dance," stopped her mother, drawing laughter. In particular, she attracted attention by showing a pure visual not inferior to a girl group center.
Also, in another video uploaded by So Yu-jin, Se-eun was shown dancing to (G)I-DLE's "Nxde," and the cute facial expressions and natural dance lines became a hot topic as the video surpassed 1 million views. Reactions from the entertainment industry were also enthusiastic. Kim Ho-young said, "I'm fainting," Bae Da-hae said, "So cute. But really pretty," and choreographer Bae Yoon-jung acknowledged her as a "born performer," calling Se-eun "idol debut material" and saying, "She inherited her parents' talent exactly."
Paik Jong-won and So Yu-jin married in 2013 and have one son (Yong-hee) and two daughters (Seo-hyun, Se-eun). The youngest, Se-eun, is 8 years old this year, but she is already drawing attention as a "next-generation entertainer-level youngest" by showcasing outstanding talent and presence.
