Ko Hyun-jung’s Emotional Encounter with Kang Min-kyung: ‘Hyun-jung, Are You Really My Older Sister?’

On the 26th, Ko Hyun-jung shared a photo on social media with a heartfelt caption, expressing her disbelief that her older sister is all grown up. She ended her message with a sweet thank you to her sister, Min-kyung.

The photograph captures a tearful Ko Hyun-jung, visibly touched by Kang Min-kyung’s unexpected bouquet present. Despite Kang Min-kyung’s apparent confusion at Ko Hyun-jung’s tears, she maintains a comforting smile. However, Ko Hyun-jung remains in tears with her head lowered.

Witnessing Ko Hyun-jung crying like a child and being consoled by Kang Min-kyung with a warm smile is a heartwarming moment that evokes a sense of comfort for the audience.

Last March, Ko Hyun-jung’s debut on her first SNS account made headlines. Kang Min-kyung surprised fans by announcing their unexpected friendship through her own account. In addition, Kang Min-kyung shared a handwritten letter from Ko Hyun-jung expressing her admiration for Min-kyung’s ability to break stereotypes and bring brightness even to those who dislike sunlight and high-pitched tones. Quoting poet Lee Seong-bok, Ko Hyun-jung wrote, “Our suffering couldn’t even make a leaf green. Watching you, even for a short time, makes me want to live brightly.”

Afterward, Ko Hyun-jung shared a video on her YouTube channel documenting her reunion with Kang Min-kyung and Jung Jae-hyung. In the video, Ko Hyun-jung expressed her gratitude towards the two, saying, “I am grateful to have reunited with Oppa (Jung Jae-hyung) and Min-kyung. They were the only ones I saw for a while and I leaned on them to help me get out of my shell. I am thankful for their support and took it one step at a time with their help, showing my deep affection for them.”

Meanwhile, Ko Hyun-jung is slated to make an appearance in the upcoming ENA drama “The Night the Stars Shine (working title)”which is set to be broadcast later this year.
