Model Yano Shiho Supports Daughter's Modeling Journey Amid Family Moments

Veteran model Yano Shiho, celebrating 30 years in the industry, has become a strong support for her daughter.

On the recent episode of ENA's 'My Child's Private Life,' the personal lives of Choo Sung-hoon, Yano Shiho, and their daughter Sarang were showcased.

Currently residing in Japan, Yano Shiho shared that during her visits to Korea, she often meets with friends she made through the KBS2 show 'The Return of Superman,' including Song Il-gook's wife, Judge Jung Seung-yeon, and actor Uhm Tae-woong's wife, ballerina Yoon Hye-jin.

When host Jang Yoon-jung discovered Yano Shiho's friendship with Yoon Hye-jin, Yano humorously suggested, "Let's meet up and talk about our husbands." She also mentioned Uhm Ji-woong's daughter, Zion, noting how much the children have grown.

On the show, Sarang participated in her first brand model audition, with Yano Shiho watching supportively. Despite receiving feedback about her posture in the first round, Sarang showed improvement in the second round with a confident pose.

However, Sarang faced disappointment with a text message indicating she did not pass the audition. Yano Shiho comforted her daughter, saying, "Maybe it was too soon for Sarang. Even I faced many rejections. To shine, one must also experience shadows." She advised, "People grow stronger through losses. Without knowing defeat, one cannot achieve victory."

In the studio, Yano Shiho humorously addressed the brand's designer, Minju Kim, saying, "Sarang, let's aim to be chosen by Minju Kim someday," with a caption reading, "Watch out, Minju Kim," adding a light-hearted touch.

The episode also featured Sarang's father, Choo Sung-hoon, showcasing his flashy fashion. Jang Yoon-jung asked Yano Shiho if it was true that Choo wears jewelry even in the shower, to which Yano confirmed, "Yes, he wears them 24/7."

In a touching moment, Yano Shiho showed Sarang a ring, explaining, "This is what your father gave me years ago." The ring, a birthday gift from Choo Sung-hoon three years ago, was noted by the production team to be a luxury item worth approximately ten million won.

Yano Shiho expressed her appreciation for the ring, saying, "I still wear it often and cherish it," bringing a proud smile to Choo Sung-hoon's face. She playfully advised him not to overuse it and handed him a personal card for a father-daughter outing.

Jang Yoon-jung humorously commented to her husband, Do Kyung-wan, "In this man's wallet, there's only a card with my name," eliciting laughter.

Yano Shiho confessed her admiration for Choo Sung-hoon, saying, "He's quite impressive. He's been in great form lately, showing confidence," revealing her continued affection for her husband.
