On October 26, Shiho Yano took to Instagram to express her feelings, saying, "I was able to see a new side and expressions of Sarang, who usually doesn't take off her glasses or wear makeup. She wore a dress that seemed to imagine a wedding🫣💓, and she might have been the most surprised herself." She added, "It was a time when I felt her growth immensely," along with several photos and a video.
The shared posts feature Shiho Yano and her daughter Sarang during a photoshoot. These photos were taken to commemorate a surprise event Sarang organized for her mother, celebrating Yano's 30th anniversary as a model, as seen on the ENA variety show 'My Child's Private Life.'
Moved by the surprise, Shiho Yano was seen emotional, to which Sarang responded with a smile, "I thought it was a good idea to celebrate since mom cried." Yano expressed her joy, saying, "This is the first time I've received such a celebration, and I'm happy." When Sarang expressed her desire to become a model like her mother, Yano asked, "Do you want to be a model?" to which Sarang affirmed.
Shiho Yano married Yoshihiro Akiyama in 2009 after dating for about two years, and they welcomed their daughter Sarang in 2011. The family gained popularity through their appearance on the KBS2 variety show 'Happy Sunday - The Return of Superman' from 2013 to 2016.
