Actors Bae Yong Joon and Park Soo Jin, along with Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon, recently caused a stir after they were spotted together in Singapore. As photos of the two celebrity couples circulated online, renewed attention turned to the special friendship between Park Shin Hye and Park Soo Jin, who have maintained a close bond for 13 years.
On June 8, photos of the two couples appearing together at Terminal 4 of Singapore’s Changi Airport spread across local media and social media platforms.
In the images released, the couples were seen dressed in relaxed yet elegant airport attire as they looked after their children during the trip. Although Bae Yong Joon and Choi Tae Joon partially covered their faces with masks and glasses, their star aura remained unmistakable. Park Soo Jin showed off her timeless fashion sense in an oversized shirt, while Park Shin Hye looked warm and maternal, wearing a bucket hat while handling the stroller and luggage.
The unexpected family outing also reignited the public’s interest in Park Shin Hye and Park Soo Jin’s long-standing friendship. Their relationship dates back to tvN’s 2013 hit drama The flower boys next doorwhere the two actresses worked together for the first time.
At that time, the couple represented on-screen rivals. Despite playing very different characters with contrasting styles and charm, they developed a close friendship behind the scenes. Even after the drama ended, the two continued to meet regularly and openly support each other, eventually becoming one of the entertainment industry’s most beloved celebrity friendships.
In 2017, Park Shin Hye shared a photo with Park Soo Jin and actress Park Mi So on social media, fondly writing: “My love, Shyamsoo. Miso-jjang. Triple Parks have reunited after a long time. How can a mother be so beautiful?” The post further highlighted their close relationship and affection for each other.
Their bond has also expanded into a professional relationship through their spouses. In February, Park Shin Hye’s husband, actor Choi Tae Joon, signed an exclusive contract with Blitzway Entertainment, a company in which Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder.
Meanwhile, Park Soo Jin largely stepped away from the entertainment industry after marriage, reportedly focusing on raising her children in Hawaii. Park Shin Hye, on the other hand, continues her active career and recently made headlines after announcing the news of her second pregnancy.
