On June 11, local media outlet AsiaOne reported that actress Park Shin-hye, her husband Choi Tae-joon, and actor Bae Yong-joon were seen aboard a Disney cruise in Singapore. The report cited eyewitness accounts and photos shared on social media. According to the posts, the two celebrity families boarded the Disney Adventure Cruise on June 9. Photos of the families were reportedly taken in different areas of the ship.

One social media user wrote, “I saw Choi Tae-joon taking three children to play in the water.” The user added, “On another deck, I saw Bae Yong-joon, his wife Park Soo-jin, and Park Shin-hye waiting nearby while Choi Tae-joon was playing with the children.”

In one photo, Choi Tae-joon is seen wearing a towel around his neck while caring for his son in a stroller. Park Shin-hye appears in the background organizing luggage. Another photo shows Bae Yong-joon sitting on a chair wearing a cap and glasses.

The sightings have generated considerable interest, particularly as Park Shin-hye is currently expecting her second child. The actress was seen traveling with her husband and son alongside the family of her longtime friends, actress Park Soo-jin and Bae Yong-joon. The joint family vacation of several stars associated with the Korean Wave reportedly became a hot topic among local observers.

Earlier, on June 7, Singaporean newspaper Lianhe Zaobao reported that both celebrity couples had traveled to Singapore with their children. Reader-submitted photos showed the families together during their trip. Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-joon were accompanied by their son, while Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin traveled with their two children. Bae Yong-joon especially drew attention after appearing with naturally graying hair tied back without dyeing it.

Park Shin-hye, who announced her second pregnancy in April, displayed a visible baby bump despite wearing loose-fitting clothing.

The connection between the two families has also grown professionally. Earlier this year, Choi Tae-joon signed an exclusive contract with Blitzway Entertainment, the agency in which Bae Yong-joon is a major shareholder.

Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin married in 2015 and have two children. The couple is reportedly residing in Hawaii. News of their reunion with Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-joon in Singapore has once again highlighted the close friendship between the two families.
