Park Hye-soo Resurfaces on Social Media After Four Years, Shares Autumn Greetings

Actress Park Hye-soo has resumed her social media activities after approximately four years of hiatus following a school bullying controversy, sharing her recent updates.

On the 19th, Park posted a series of photos on her SNS with the caption "It's autumn now," showing her spending time with friends. The pictures depict Park enjoying a leisurely time with her pet dog and striking playful poses with acquaintances, exuding a bright and relaxed vibe.

Earlier in July, news broke that Park had become a cafe owner. At the time, actor Kim Jong-soo shared on his SNS, "Hye-soo is opening a cafe in Paju. She made the space herself, and bakes coffee and bread too. I hope it does well," along with a photo. The image featured Kim Jong-soo, Park Hye-soo, and actress Lee Ju-young together. Park, wearing an apron, beamed with a bright smile, and the cozy, warm atmosphere was notable. The trio had previously worked together on the film 'Samjin Company English O.T.C.'

Park Hye-soo's career came to a halt in 2021 just before the premiere of the KBS2 drama 'Dear. M' when allegations of school violence surfaced. Her agency immediately denied the claims as "groundless," but the controversy prolonged as alleged victims collectively demanded an apology.

Consequently, 'Dear. M' faced indefinite postponement of its broadcast schedule and was initially released in Japan before its domestic airing. It was only in April of this year, nearly four years later, that the drama was belatedly broadcast in Korea on KBS Joy, drawing attention.

Park made a cautious return through the film 'You and I,' released in 2023. Attending a press screening, she stated, "I have done my best to correct the falsehoods over the past time," and firmly added, "The investigation is still ongoing, but my stance remains unchanged. I will strive to uncover the truth until the end."

Her agency also previously explained, "A criminal lawsuit for defamation is in progress, and the investigator has forwarded the case to the prosecution with an opinion to indict the accused, recognizing the circumstances where they damaged social reputation with false facts. Further investigation is currently underway."

Even with the school bullying allegations not fully resolved, Park Hye-soo actively participated in promotional activities for her film, working to set the record straight about the misunderstandings surrounding her. She expressed her feelings of injustice, stating, "The investigation has been ongoing since the beginning. I wish everything could be revealed quickly."

Park Hye-soo debuted in the 2015 drama 'Make a Woman Cry,' quickly gaining recognition. She subsequently showcased stable acting skills in various productions like 'Age of Youth' and 'Saimdang, Memoir of Arts,' building anticipation as a rising actress. Her performance in the 2020 film 'Samjin Company English O.T.C.' was particularly acclaimed by critics.
