On July 23, actress Kim Hye-soo posted several candid photos to her social media account with the caption “with OJ.” Sporting a baseball cap and black face mask that obscured much of her face, the 53-year-old actress still exuded star power — particularly thanks to a striking necklace with the initials “H.S” that added a touch of personal glam to her understated look.

Among the photos, one image especially drew attention: Kim linking arms with Oh Je-hyung, a well-known businessman and TV personality. The two appeared at ease, sharing playful expressions and poses as they browsed shops together. Another snapshot of Kim standing in front of Oh — showing off her toned legs and confident posture — drew admiration online.

Fans and netizens quickly chimed in with comments like:

  • “Her face is so small.”
  • “Look at the muscle in those legs.”
  • “They look like such close friends — or is there more?”
  • “Are they dating?”

Despite the speculation, Oh Je-hyung is widely known to be a longtime friend of Kim Hye-soo, and the two have often shown public support for each other over the years. While they’ve never confirmed a romantic relationship, their natural chemistry continues to spark curiosity.

In other exciting news, Kim Hye-soo is gearing up for her long-awaited return to television. She is confirmed to star in tvN’s upcoming drama Signal 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2016 series Signal. Reuniting with co-stars Jo Jin-woong and Lee Je-hoon, the new season promises to continue the compelling blend of crime, time-travel, and emotional depth that made the original a standout.

The series will be penned by Kim Eun-hee and directed by Ahn Tae-jin, with an expected release in the first half of next year. As fans eagerly await her return to drama, Kim’s everyday moments — from stylish shopping outings to subtle social media updates — continue to remind the public why she remains one of Korea’s most beloved stars.
