On February 20, Han Hyo Joo posted photos on her social media account along with a heartfelt message expressing gratitude for her parents.
She wrote:
“A birthday meal prepared by my dad. These days, my dad cooks all three meals a day for my mom, and she says she’s the happiest she’s ever been in her life. Seeing my parents happy makes me feel like my long-held wish has finally come true. A day filled with love. Just grateful. Every single side dish was made by dad. I thought only mom was good at cooking, but dad is even better… But wait, why am I…”
The photos revealed a lavish homemade spread that included soy sauce marinated crab, grilled fish, various side dishes, and seaweed soup — a traditional Korean birthday dish. Han Hyo Joo playfully added while mixing rice in a crab shell, “There’s love in here too.”
Her father’s thoughtful gestures did not end there. She continued:
“My dad even bought dessert in my favorite flavor because I’ve been having one Baskin Robbins a day… He should treat mom at least half as well as he treats me… haha — no, actually he’s such a romantic these days. Love you.”
She also showed off flowers gifted by her parents, captioning the photo, “Beautiful flower from my papa & mama.”
Han Hyo Joo, born on February 22, 1987, is turning 38 this year. Her father is known to be a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel. She recently shared that her mother made her debut as a senior model.
Professionally, Han Hyo Joo is set to star in the upcoming MBC drama Your Ground (literal translation). The youth romance series follows a baseball player whose career stalled after a devastating setback and his journey back to the field after meeting a former lawyer-turned-agent.
With her latest post, fans were reminded that behind the glamorous career of the actress is a warm and loving family story that continues to resonate with many.
