Yoon Son-ha, captured in Vancouver’s daily life after 8 years of hiatus… Life changed after the school violence controversy
Actor Yoon Son-ha, who has been living a quiet life in Canada for a long time away from the public, gave a surprising update on his current situation through a meeting with fellow actress Lee Hye-eun on the 8th. Sonha Yoon posted photos taken under the warm sunlight in Vancouver through her social media. In the photo, the two people were smiling brightly, proving that they are not just seniors and juniors in the entertainment industry, but are close friends who rely on each other in a foreign country. In particular, Son Ha Yoon did not hide her excitement, saying that even though they live in the same Vancouver, they do not see each other often due to their separate lives, but when they do meet, they have a fun and exciting time as if they had just seen each other yesterday.
She has been greatly loved since her debut as Miss Chunhyang Sun in 1994, and still impresses fans with her clear skin and elegant features. Hye-eun Lee, who shared the latest news, also added to the joy by appearing with an intellectual vibe and still looking beautiful. The two also shared a small anecdote about how they laughed for a while, saying that it was awkward to stand in front of the camera and take a selfie after such a long time.
“Oh, I used to be an actor”…
A subtle longing for the past
The part that touched many people’s hearts in this latest news release was Yoon Son-ha’s honest confession of his feelings. She turned to Hye-eun Lee. “It was a long time ago, but sometimes I’m the only person with whom I can share the subtle emotions that make me wonder if I was an actor.”He expressed his affectionate feelings by mentioning this. This short sentence fully contained her complex and nuanced feelings about leaving behind the glamorous life of a star and living as an ordinary mother and immigrant. Since his debut in the mid-90s, he has been recognized for his acting skills by appearing in numerous hit dramas such as MBC’s Were We Really in Love and KBS2’s Snowflake?
In particular, Yoon Son-ha entered Japan in 2001 and solidified her position as a first-generation Korean Wave star by working as both an actor and singer. Since she was very popular in Japanese entertainment shows for her unique wit and intellectual charm, the nostalgia she feels as an actress while living in a foreign country is bound to be even more special. Son-ha Yoon referred to Hye-eun Lee as a senior actor and senior in life, and expressed deep trust in her, saying she was a sister from whom he could learn a lot.
The 2017 son controversy and the reason why I had to choose to immigrate to Canada
There was an incident behind Yoon Son-ha’s sudden decision to stop activities in Korea and move to Canada. In 2017, the school faced a major crisis when controversy over school violence involving Son-ha Yoon’s son arose. My son was identified as one of the students who committed an assault that occurred at a private elementary school retreat in Seoul.As a result, public opinion deteriorated rapidly. As misunderstandings and criticism continued that she had tried to minimize the severity of the incident during the initial response, the voices of criticism against her became more intense.
At that time, Yoon Son-ha issued an official apology twice, saying,I apologize for putting my family’s injustice first.“He bowed his head. Among the parents of the perpetrators, they tried to resolve the situation by personally visiting the victim with their son and offering an apology, but the public’s disappointment did not subside easily. In the end, he faced intense pressure to withdraw from the work he was appearing in and from the advertising industry, and decided to give up all entertainment activities and move to Canada to protect his son. For the next eight years, she avoided contact with Korean media and lived a life focused solely on her family.
Smile for the first time in 8 years, possibility of return in the future and public opinion
The bright appearance in Vancouver revealed this time shows that she has now overcome some of the pain of the past and regained a peaceful daily life. Some fans were cautiously anticipating her return to acting as she still maintains the same beauty as in her prime. However, it has been reported that there has been no specific plan for Yoon Son-ha’s return or any movement to resume activities to date, and the release of this photo is also known to have been a personal wish to record memories of precious people she met in a foreign country, rather than as a means of promoting her return.
Netizens’ reactions to Yoon Son-ha’s current status are mixed. While there are opinions that it is nice to see a face after a long time, there are also views that still have strict standards for the son’s school violence incident. However, as time has passed, the voices of quiet support and respect for the life she has chosen as a person and mother are growing louder. The sight of an actor who once rose to the top while traveling between Korea and Japan now lives as an ordinary neighbor in Vancouver gives us a lot to think about.
