Actor Jang Hyuk opened up about his deep respect for his father, who had a job in the Middle East, including Iraq, back in the 1980s.

On May 19th, Jang Hyuk graced TV Chosun's 'Heo Young Man's Food Travel' as a guest. Together, they embarked on a culinary adventure to Ganghwa Island.

As a dad who's been living the 'migratory bird' life for two years now, Jang Hyuk has sent his two sons, one daughter, and wife overseas for their studies.

During the show, Jang Hyuk took a trip down memory lane, sharing, "When I was a kid, my dad also spent a lot of time working abroad. He was part of the construction boom in Saudi Arabia and Iraq during the 1980s."

He added, "As a kid, the airport was like a treasure trove for me. My dad would bring home the coolest robot toys, thermal lunch boxes, gaming consoles, button pencil cases, and more."

Jang Hyuk also admitted, "I look up to my dad. Becoming a father myself, I started to see my parents in a new light. I often find myself wondering, 'What was I like back then?' It's led to more heart-to-heart talks with my parents."

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
