On January 9, Soyul shared several photos on her SNS along with the caption, “Our Jam’s Christmas concert. Once again, it was so heartwarming and beautiful.” The images quickly gained attention, capturing his daughter Heeyul as she confidently performed on stage.
In the photos, Heeyul appears in a neat school uniform, standing under the lights next to her classmates. The quirky, chubby-cheeked child once beloved by viewers of The Return of Superman seems like a distant memory. His movements seem natural rather than camera-bound, and his relaxed eye contact with the audience creates the presence of someone who has already accumulated experience on stage.
What impressed me the most was his attitude during the show. He moved to the beat with no visible nerves, putting intention into every gesture, displaying a level of immersion that went beyond a simple school event. Rather than say that he inherited the talent, it seems more accurate to say that he has already begun to internalize the stage on his own terms.
Even in photos where she holds flowers in her school uniform, her growth is evident. His features appear more defined, his expression more calm and composed. While many have commented that she resembles her mother or father, what has left the strongest impression is that she is starting to form a face and presence uniquely her own.
Soyul concluded her post with one simple word: “Proud.” Though brief, it contained the quiet certainty of a parent who had just witnessed something significant. It was no longer a moment remembered for tenderness, but one in which a little girl played her role on stage.
The memories that began with the name JamJam still remain, but Heeyul is clearly in the next scene now – and that transition seems to have come much sooner than anyone expected.
