On May 28, posts titled “Ha Ji-won performing as a Kyung Hee University cheerleader today” began circulating across online communities and social media, quickly going viral among Korean netizens.
The posts included videos from the university festival held on May 27, showing Ha Ji-won enthusiastically performing alongside students as part of the school’s cheering squad.
Before taking the stage, the actress hyped up the crowd by saying, “As a passionate Kyung Hee University cheer squad member, I’ll do my best on stage. Let’s get even hotter give us another round of applause!”
Her energetic speech immediately drew loud cheers from students in attendance.
Even under heavy rain, Ha Ji-won remained at the front of the formation, confidently leading the choreography to the school’s cheering songs.
Wearing a striking red cheerleader uniform, the actress blended naturally among students in their 20s while delivering high-energy performances and maintaining a bright smile throughout the stage.
Many viewers were especially impressed by how seamlessly she fit into campus life despite being an established top actress.
After finishing the performance, Ha Ji-won shared heartfelt thoughts with the audience, saying: “Thanks to becoming part of Kyung Hee University’s class of 2026, I’ve gotten to meet all of you and experience my lost twenties again. These moments with everyone feel so exciting and romantic, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget them. Thank you to the cheer squad leader too. I really love Kyung Hee University.”
Online reactions poured in shortly afterward, with comments including:
- She’s so beautiful and radiant.
- Age truly doesn’t matter when someone shines like that.
- The cheer uniform suits her perfectly.
The performance was reportedly part of the JTBC digital studio variety show Class of 2026 Jiwon.
The program follows Ha Ji-won as she “enrolls” at Kyung Hee University’s College of Hotel & Tourism Management in the Culinary & Food Design Department, where she experiences campus life alongside real students.
As part of the show, she joined the university’s cheerleading club and documented the preparation process leading up to the festival performance.
Fans will soon get to see another nostalgic side of Ha Ji-won.
The actress is scheduled to appear on Show! Music Core on May 30, where she will recreate the performance of her song “Home Run,” originally released during her singer activities 23 years ago. The stage was promised after the variety show surpassed 1.2 million views, making the performance a special gift to fans.
Anticipation is already growing for the actress’ rare return to the music stage.
