Amateur golfer Kim Seo Ah, a second-year student at Sinseong Middle School, shared a photo on her social media account on September 11, along with the caption, “Had a fun round of golf with actor Bae Yong Joon.”
The released photo shows Bae Yong Joon and Kim Seo Ah standing side by side after finishing their round. Bae Yong Joon, who recently made headlines after being spotted with long, white hair, was seen smiling brightly in comfortable golf attire.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with Kim Seo Ah, Bae Yong Joon flashed a V-sign with his fingers and appeared relaxed. Despite having taken a long break from entertainment activities, he continues to attract attention with his unmistakable presence.
Kim Seo Ah, who joined Bae Yong Joon for the round, is an amateur golfer gaining attention as a “14-year-old long hitter” thanks to her explosive driving distance.
At the Miyazato Ai Suntory Ladies Open on the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) Tour in June, her first professional tournament appearance, she finished in solo third place with a four-round total of 16-under-par 272. She made a particularly strong impression by recording an average driving distance of 271.50 yards, the longest among all competitors in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Bae Yong Joon has largely stayed out of the spotlight since marrying actress Park Soo Jin in 2015, without taking on notable acting projects. He has occasionally made headlines through sightings shared online. The couple has a son and a daughter and has reportedly been living in Hawaii, United States, since 2022.
In June, Bae Yong Joon was also spotted visiting Singapore with Park Soo Jin and their children, sparking considerable interest. At the time, he appeared at the airport with his long, gray-streaked hair tied back, presenting a markedly different image from his iconic “Yonsama” days and drawing attention for his dramatically changed appearance.
