Model-turned-broadcaster Hong Jin Kyung's daughter, Rael, is drawing attention for a dramatically changed look while studying in the United States.
Recently, several photos were posted on an online community under the headline "Rael, Hong Jin Kyung's daughter, who has changed so much she is unrecognizable, update".
In the released photos, Rael's appearance during her U.S. study drew attention for a dramatically changed visual compared with her childhood appearance in "Study King: The Real Genius." Rael looked thinner than before, becoming leaner, and her youthful look had disappeared, giving her a more mature air.
In particular, rather than the plain style she had worn, her glamorous makeup and fashion suggested she had inherited the stylish sense of model-turned-broadcaster Hong Jin Kyung, capturing attention.
Netizens who saw this responded with comments such as "She was worried about her weight but she succeeded at dieting," "Kids really grow up fast," "You can still see the mother's face," "I thought it was Jang Won Young," and "Time really flies."
Earlier, Hong Jin Kyung's daughter Rael had shared an update showing she was studying abroad. In October last year, when Rael appeared under the condition that her face would not be shown, Hong Jin Kyung said, "She said she gained a lot of weight and lacks confidence in her appearance."
Rael attracted attention for speaking four languages—Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese—and about her future said, "I want to create a brand. If I do it in Korea they'd say it's 'mom's backing,' so I want to do it independently in the U.S. I want to create a clothing or cosmetics brand."
Meanwhile, Hong Jin Kyung married a businessman five years her senior in 2003 and had a daughter, Rael. Hong Jin Kyung also announced her divorce in August last year after 22 years of marriage.<
