Earlier this month, actor Kwon Sang Woo’s son Kwon Ruk Hee began communicating more frequently with the public through Instagram, quickly attracting attention for his striking visuals. Many netizens noted that he appears to have inherited the best features of his parents, along with a tall physique reminiscent of his father.
By the morning of March 12, a photo recently shared by Ruk Hee suddenly went viral across Korean online communities and social media platforms. At 17 years old, the teenager impressed many with his handsome visuals and height of around 182 cm, almost matching his father Kwon Sang Woo’s height of 183 cm.
Korean media also praised his appearance. A reporter from MyDaily described Ruk Hee as showing “remarkable maturity, with visuals that inherit the best features from both his father and mother.” The photo quickly spread across media outlets and forums, with netizens leaving comments such as “He’s unbelievably handsome,” and “This family’s genetics are no joke.” Some even called the viral image a “legendary moment” for the celebrity couple’s son.
As photos of the teenager circulated online, some fans began speculating that he might soon debut as an idol or actor. However, his mother, actress Son Tae Young, quickly addressed the rumors and dismissed the speculation. When a netizen suggested there might be a hidden reason behind Ruk Hee appearing more often online, Son Tae Young replied, “There isn’t. He’s just 17 and wants to comfortably use Instagram with his friends and communicate with us.”
She previously shared on her YouTube channel that her son is currently preparing for university admission, with the goal of attending New York University (NYU). The family currently lives mainly in New Jersey, the United States, where their children can study in an international environment.
Aside from academics, Ruk Hee is also passionate about sports. He is a member of his school’s soccer team and has reportedly attracted attention from several school teams due to his strong performance. He also shows talent in track and field. According to Son Tae Young, Ruk Hee once recorded an impressive 11.4 seconds in the 100-meter sprint at age 16, earning praise from coaches who believe he has potential for professional athletics.
These details suggest that the 17-year-old is currently focused on his studies and sports rather than entering the entertainment industry. Kwon Sang Woo and Son Tae Young married in 2008 and have two children, their son born in 2009 and a daughter born in 2015. Before marrying Kwon Sang Woo, Son Tae Young was previously known to have dated actor Yoon Tae Young, the son of a former Samsung executive.
