Shim Eun Ha, a former actress who was very popular in Korea in the 1990s, is in the news again after new pictures of her were posted online.
They show her having a casual moment on a plane with her husband, former congressman Ji Sang Wook. The pictures have sparked new interest in the actress, who left the entertainment industry in the early 2000s to spend more time with her family.
Koreaboo said that the picture showed Shim Eun Ha sitting comfortably next to her husband and taking a selfie together. She looked relaxed and natural, which drew viewers' attention.
Before more comments were made, one person on social media said, "She's still beautiful," while another remarked, "Even after all this time, her aura is the same." Others highlighted her casual look, commenting, "She looks comfortable," and "She looks more like an ordinary person than a celebrity, but that makes it even better."
Before people started to disagree, some people online were surprised by how she looked different. They said things like, "Is that really the same person?" and, "She now looks just like an ordinary housewife." Others observed the passage of time, commenting, "It seems no one can escape the passage of time."
Before more observations, a netizen who said they had recently seen Shim Eun Ha in person said, "She actually hasn't gained weight at all in real life. The photo just makes it look that way because it was taken from below. She's actually small and petite and still very pretty."
Per My Daily, Shim Eun Ha was born in 1972 and got her start in 1993 with MBC's 22nd open talent recruitment class. The hit K-drama "The Last Match" made her famous. She then starred in popular shows like "M, Trap of Youth," and "White Nights 3.98," making her one of Korea's most famous actresses of the 1990s.
She made headlines before she retired when she got engaged to businessman Jung Ho Young. The engagement was called off just two days before their wedding in 2001, which was a scandal that led her to leave the entertainment industry. Shim Eun Ha married Ji Sang Wook in 2005, and they now have two daughters.
Recent pictures have sparked rumors that she might return to acting, but her reps have denied these claims. Fans are still talking about her online, thinking about both her past career and how she looks now.
