Park Yeon-soo Praises Daughter Song Ji-ah's Dedication to Golf

Actress Park Yeon-soo is showering her daughter, Song Ji-ah, with praise and support for her unwavering passion for golf.

Recently, Park Yeon-soo shared a heartwarming video compilation on her social media, showcasing moments of Ji-ah deeply engrossed in her golfing journey. She reminisced, "I was having so much fun changing outfits dozens of times, but Ji-ah told me golf was a hundred times easier and more enjoyable. That's when I knew. My daughter truly loves golf."

Park Yeon-soo continued, reflecting on the challenges, "When results weren't coming and agencies kept calling, I wondered why she was choosing the difficult path over the easy one... It took you six years to calm down, with your great energy... We still have a long way to go, but I acknowledge your love for golf!" She acknowledged her daughter's sincerity and perseverance in pursuing her dream of becoming a professional golfer, despite the allure of the entertainment industry.

The shared video also featured Song Ji-ah looking like a seasoned professional during a clothing advertisement shoot. Inheriting the striking visuals of both her mother, Park Yeon-soo, and her father, former soccer player Song Chong-guk, Ji-ah confidently struck poses in various outfits, exuding a charisma comparable to that of a seasoned entertainer.

Song Ji-ah first captured the public's heart on the MBC variety show 'Dad! Where Are We Going?' alongside her father. Her impressive visuals, which grew more refined as she got older, often drew comparisons to K-pop girl group members, sparking speculation about a potential debut in the entertainment industry. However, Song Ji-ah ultimately chose golf over a career in entertainment, reportedly turning down offers, including one from JYP Entertainment.

She has since focused on her golf aspirations and recently achieved full membership with the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA), earning widespread encouragement. Park Yeon-soo frequently shares updates on their daily lives through social media, supporting her daughter's athletic pursuits.

Song Ji-ah gained significant popularity on the 2013 MBC variety show 'Dad! Where Are We Going?' for her adorable looks and candid personality. Her decision to pursue golf over an entertainment career, despite receiving an offer from JYP Entertainment, garnered much attention. She is currently advancing towards her dream of becoming a professional golfer as a full member of the KLPGA.
