Top Actresses in Their 30s Who Married During Career Peaks: Jo Bo-ah, Park Shin-hye, and Kang So-ra Continue to Shine

Though the entertainment industry once raised flags about career interruptions linked to marriage and childbirth, many actresses today are flourishing regardless of these life events, alleviating concerns about such pauses in their professional journeys.

Among those leading the way are Park Shin-hye, Kang So-ra, and Jo Bo-ah, who each made the fearless decision to marry during their career highs. These talented actresses not only prioritize their burgeoning families in their early 30s but also maintain a fierce dedication to acting. Let’s delve into the stories of these three remarkable women.

On October 12th, Jo Bo-ah, who is currently experiencing significant fame, announced her marriage—marking an impressive personal milestone without any pre-wedding rumors. The public was taken aback as she revealed her wedding news; she had been in a long-term relationship with her now-husband, built on mutual trust and love. Their nuptials were carefully celebrated in an intimate outdoor ceremony at Walkerhill Aston House, attended only by close family and friends.

Jo Bo-ah has garnered attention for her impressive performances in both dramas and variety shows. Since her debut in the 2012 series “Flower Band,” she has captivated audiences with roles in productions such as “The King’s Doctor,” “The Idle Mermaid,” “All About My Mom,” “Temperature of Love,” “My Strange Hero,” and the “Tale of the Nine Tailed” series. Her engaging personality and talent have also made her a favorite on variety shows like “Law of the Jungle,” “Baek Jong-won’s Alley Restaurant,” and “Europe Outside the Tent.”

Despite being a “newlywed,” Jo Bo-ah is busily pursuing her acting career, with several projects on the horizon, including Netflix’s “Hong Rang” and Disney+’s “Knock-Off.” In these international streaming originals, she will lead alongside Hallyu stars like Lee Jae-wook in “Hong Rang” and Kim Soo-hyun in “Knock-Off,” positioning herself for a potential global breakout.

Park Shin-hye also chose to marry during an exhilarating time in her career. Since her debut in 2003, she has become a prominent name in K-drama, surprising fans when she shared her marriage and pregnancy news in 2021. While she had been in a public relationship with actor Choi Tae-joon for four years, her nuptials were unexpected given her consistent involvement in numerous projects. In January 2022, she tied the knot with Choi Tae-joon, and by May, she welcomed her first child.

However, Park Shin-hye quickly returned to her acting roots, reinforcing her status as a leading actress in her 30s. She starred in the drama “Doctor Slump” earlier this year and has since taken on another project, further complicating her schedule. Currently, she portrays the charmingly wicked anti-hero Kang Bit-na in SBS’s “The Judge from Hell,” a role that is gaining high ratings thanks to her compelling performance.

Kang So-ra, another notable actress in her 30s, made her debut in 2009 and has enjoyed a successful career in both film and television. She is celebrated for her performances in films like “Sunny” and “My Paparotti,” as well as in dramas such as “Dream High 2,” “Ugly Alert,” “Doctor Stranger,” “Misaeng: Incomplete Life,” “Warm and Cozy,” and “My Lawyer, Mr. Jo.”

After giving birth to her first daughter in 2021 and her second in 2023, Kang So-ra remains an active force in the entertainment industry. She recently appeared in the drama “Strangers Again” (2023) and also launched her YouTube channel in 2020, broadening her reach as a digital content creator.
