Actor Kim Ji-su shared a healing day in Prague, Czech Republic, and personally denied retirement rumors.
On the 9th, Kim Ji-su posted several photos on her social media with the caption "spreading a mat at my favorite Petřín Park and zoning out at the sky~".
In the released photos, Kim Ji-su showcases sophistication by pairing sunglasses with a white bucket hat embroidered with flowers against Prague's exotic scenery. Her clear skin and "preservative-like youthful looks" that make it hard to believe she is in her 50s immediately catch the eye. Lying on the mat and taking a leisurely rest or gazing at Prague's beautiful sunset, her appearance exudes comfort.
Kim Ji-su confessed, "In more than 30 years of acting and running, I have never had time like this recently," and said, "Even when I rest after finishing a project, I could never rest completely at ease because I was always thinking about the next project—what to do next, what character would be good—so I lived in a constant rush and feeling chased."
She continued, "But running a company in Prague, which is not a perfect rest, makes me think life is worth living," and shared that she is currently running a business in Prague. She added, "Running a company is not something that can be maintained by sheer will alone, so it is another hardship, but I think everything is meaningful."
In particular, Kim Ji-su directly addressed recent "acting retirement rumors" surrounding her and left a clear response. She said, "People who meet me through comments or Jiessoo in Prague ask me a lot, 'Are you not going to act anymore?' and each time I say, 'I didn't retire~'" and dismissed the retirement rumors with a cheerful emoticon, reassuring fans.
Finally, she closed her post by saying, "If it's for free and precious time, I think you have to make that time now even if it's unreasonable. If you don't make it now, it might never come. I am grateful just to be enjoying that time."
Reacting to Kim Ji-su's sincere confession, fans responded, "Glad you didn't retire; we'll wait for a good project," "You are still so beautiful even in Prague," and "We support your complete rest and challenges."
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-su, who has had a hiatus since the 2024 drama "Family X Mellow," revealed that she established a travel agency in Prague in March and has transformed into the agency's CEO. At the time she said, "I fell completely in love with Prague, which I briefly went to alone in May 2024, and started a travel agency," and added, "It's still a small company, but we are planning special themed tours and events. Having traveled a lot and knowing what is inconvenient, we are preparing even the smallest things carefully."
Separately, she was once caught driving without a license while heavily intoxicated in 2000, and in 2010 she struck a taxi while intoxicated and fled, for which she was fined.
