“Hallyu pioneer” Bae Yong-joon, who has been away from the screen for years, recently made unexpected headlines due to his head of white hair. After being spotted at the Singapore airport, new footage has surfaced of Bae Yong-joon and his family aboard Asia’s first Disney cruise, revealing a side of him as a warm-hearted dad that left netizens saying he was unrecognizable.
From the leaked photos, the now 54-year-old Bae Yong-joon sports long white hair tied into a ponytail—a stark contrast from his signature suave image during the “Winter Sonata” era. But it’s not his change in appearance that's most eye-catching; rather, it’s his hands-on approach as he personally moves a large number of bags, carefully looking after his wife Park Soo-jin and their two children, showing the ultimate devoted family man side.
Although Park Soo-jin keeps a low profile and covers her face, she still exudes a timeless charm. The couple escorted their children onto the ship and moved around together, interacting naturally and warmly. Many fans sighed, “The heartthrob of housewives in the past is now a super dad.” In fact, since “Dream High” in 2011, Bae Yong-joon has almost completely withdrawn from show business, focusing on investment and family life in recent years. After relocating to Hawaii, USA, in 2022, the couple has rarely been seen in public, so this rare glimpse of their family vacation has been a delightful surprise for many longtime fans. #
