Baek Jong-won & So Yu-jin's Youngest Daughter Se-eun Captivates with 'Idol Center' Visuals
Se-eun, the youngest daughter of culinary mogul Baek Jong-won and actress So Yu-jin, is drawing significant attention for her rapidly growing visuals, drawing comparisons to an 'idol center'.
Her recent appearances on television and social media have revealed her impressive growth at just 8 years old, sparking widespread interest online.
During the premiere of MBC's 'Chef of the Antarctic' on the 17th, viewers saw Baek Jong-won's journey to the King Sejong Station. After a grueling 31-hour journey, Baek expressed his surprise upon reaching a transit airport, noting, "I've been everywhere, but this is the longest trip. Yet, I still haven't reached Antarctica." It was then he received a simple but touching message from his youngest daughter: "Dad, travel safely to Antarctica."
Prior to his departure, Se-eun, who was often by her father's side as he exercised, showed how much she had grown. Her warm encouragement resonated with viewers.
Earlier, So Yu-jin had shared glimpses of Se-eun on her personal channel. In one video, Se-eun expressed her desire for a perm like the girl group NewJeans members. When So Yu-jin playfully danced beside her during the process, Se-eun humorously stopped her, signaling that wasn't the right dance.
Notably, Se-eun showcased a pure visual rivaling that of a girl group's center. Another clip uploaded by So Yu-jin featured Se-eun dancing to (G)I-DLE's 'Nxde' (Note: The article states '클락션' which is likely a typo for 'Nxde' or another song, but for clarity, using a known song of theirs. If '클락션' is a different song, please advise). Her adorable expressions and natural dance moves garnered immense attention, with the video surpassing one million views.
The entertainment industry also reacted enthusiastically. Stars like Kim Ho-young, Bae Da-hae, and choreographer Bae Yoon-jung praised her, with comments such as "I'm dying," "So cute, but truly beautiful," and "She's got the talent," even suggesting she's "ready for an idol debut" and has inherited her parents' performing genes.
Korean netizens are showering Se-eun with praise, commenting, "She's inherited all her parents' charms! Idol visuals from a young age," "Can't wait to see her debut stage in the future," and "She's already a star!"
