On April 28, Choi Ji Woo posted photos on her personal account showing a relaxing outing by the Han River with her child. On this day, she set aside her usual top-star glamour and appeared without a mask or sunglasses, showcasing a natural and effortless look. Even in such a modest style, her timeless beauty stood out, while her relaxed and approachable aura drew attention.

Most notably, her face was filled with a loving “mom smile” as she watched her daughter freely running along the riverside. Matching her child’s eye level, constantly engaging and smiling brightly, she radiated deep affection and warmth.

What makes this peaceful moment even more meaningful is that Choi Ji Woo welcomed her first child at the age of 46 after a long and heartfelt wait. She previously shared on a broadcast that she once called herself an “icon of late pregnancy,” revealing that she conceived through IVF just as she was about to give up, touching many with her story of hope.

In parenting, she has also received support through close exchanges with fellow actors. She shared that Kim Tae-hee, who became a mother earlier, passed down baby items and shared useful information about childcare and education, highlighting a warm friendship among top stars. She also humorously commented on her daughter’s looks, saying, “She’s very pretty in my eyes, but it might take some time for her to catch up to her mom’s beauty,” showing her playful charm.

Since her debut in 1994, Choi Ji Woo has been beloved across Asia, especially through the iconic drama Winter Sonata. She married a non-celebrity nine years younger than her in 2018 and gave birth to her daughter in 2020. Even after marriage and motherhood, she continues to balance acting and family life, earning admiration for her graceful and confident journey.
