Seong Bin, the daughter of actor Seong Dong-il, 62, has drawn attention after photos showing how much she has grown circulated online. Seong Dong-il is known for appearing on the MBC variety program "Dad! Where Are We Going?"
On Monday, Seong's wife, Park Kyung-hye, posted photos of her daughter on her personal social media account with the caption: "How long has it been since a two-shot like this. Our beautiful Ayeon. Keep fighting."
In the photos, Seong Bin was dressed in a school uniform with her hair swept fully back — the unmistakable look of a student in an arts high school dance program.
Earlier, Seong Bin appeared with her father in June on the YouTube channel "Sul Bitnun Yunjumo," where she revealed she had transferred from a regular high school to an arts high school and is now a third-year student majoring in contemporary dance.
She said she submitted her application alone, taking a taxi just hours before the deadline, and that her entire family had been opposed to the decision.
Meanwhile, Seong Dong-il is married to a non-celebrity 14 years his junior and has one son and two daughters. His eldest son, Seong Jun, appeared on "Dad! Where Are We Going?" in 2013 and won wide affection for his bright personality, followed by daughter Seong Bin in 2014. Seong Jun graduated from a science high school and is currently enrolled in the College of Engineering at Hanyang University.
