Actress Kim Ji-soo Shares Her Thoughts on Visiting Seoul and Engaging with Fans
In her recent Instagram update, Kim Ji-soo expressed her fondness for certain neighborhoods in Seoul, saying, "Whenever I'm in Korea, I never miss the chance to visit Samcheong-dong, Bukchon, and Seochon. I can't wait to see how beautiful the flowers will be in full bloom soon. In Korea, I enjoy treats like patbingsu, perilla oil makguksu, and Korean-style shabu-shabu, which you can't find in Europe. These are precious things that we might not appreciate when they're always around. I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy weekend. Thank you to everyone who has supported and congratulated Ji-soo in Prague. Although I feel a bit of pressure, I hope Ji-soo in Prague can play a small role in helping you reflect on things you might have forgotten during your travels. Thank you."
The accompanying photo shows Kim Ji-soo indoors, taking a close-up selfie with a gentle smile. Her long wavy hair and naturally flowing bangs frame her face, while her pink coat and gray top create a calm style. Her striking eyes and bright lip makeup are complemented by small drop earrings that add a touch of sparkle. Her relaxed pose, with one hand slightly raised behind her head, creates a natural and cheerful atmosphere.
Fans responded with comments like "You're so beautiful," "Always cheering for you," "Enjoy lots of delicious food while you're in Korea," "Fighting," "It's a wonderful spring day," and "Have a great time in Korea before returning to Prague."
Previously, Kim Ji-soo announced the official launch of her travel agency, 'Ji-soo in Prague,' on her social media, making headlines. She shared, "Traveling has always been the most transformative experience in my life, especially the old cities, architecture, art, and lifestyle in Europe, which have inspired me and made me reconsider the pace and direction of my life."
She continued, "I wanted to make travel more than just a trip, but an experience that expands life. Our travel agency offers deep journeys that go beyond famous tourist spots, allowing you to feel the culture, history, and local essence of Europe." She added, "I hope your travels become lasting stories rather than just a few photos. I, Kim Ji-soo, will sincerely accompany you to make your journey more beautiful."
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-soo, born in 1972, debuted in 1992. Despite her success as a talented actress, she faced public backlash due to several alcohol-related incidents in the past. In 2000, she was charged with driving without a license while intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.175%. In 2010, she was fined 10 million won for hitting a taxi while driving under the influence and fleeing the scene.
