Kim Hye-soo and Chae Shi-ra, 'Tack Board Goddesses' of the 80s/90s Reunite After Decades

Kim Hye-soo and Chae Shi-ra, who dominated the Korean entertainment scene in the 80s and 90s and were known as 'Tack Board Goddesses,' had an unexpected reunion after decades.

On the 11th, Chae Shi-ra posted several photos on her social media with the caption, "A surprise encounter after decades between Lotte and Haitai's exclusive models. It's so good to see you, Hye-soo."

The released photos show Kim Hye-soo and Chae Shi-ra meeting by chance at a gallery, sharing their delight. They were seen taking selfies, arm-in-arm, showing a friendly atmosphere. Their timeless beauty and unique aura, unaffected by the passage of time, drew admiration from viewers.

During the 1980s and 90s, the two stars reigned over the heyday of teen culture, serving as representative models for Lotte Confectionery and Haitai Confectionery, dividing the advertising market. They were legendary rivals and colleagues.

Chae Shi-ra was dubbed the 'Ghana Girl' as the model for Lotte's 'Ghana Chocolate,' while Kim Hye-soo was called the 'Ace Girl' through her CF appearances for Haitai's 'Ace.' In the fierce CF war between Lotte and Haitai at the time, these two stars were literally the 'twin peaks' of the advertising market.

Despite the years, Kim Hye-soo showcased her fashionista style in a trendy hoodie and cap, while Chae Shi-ra impressed with a chic blouse and vest.

Chae Shi-ra debuted as a CF model in 1984 and began her acting career with 'High School Diary.' Kim Hye-soo gained recognition through a Haitai Confectionery advertisement in 1985 before establishing herself as an actress.

Netizens expressed their excitement, commenting, "Legends truly met!", "Their beauty hasn't faded even after all this time," and "I used to put posters of you two on my desk when I was young, it brings back memories."
