After years of silence, actress Soo Ae has finally given fans a rare glimpse of what she has been up to. On June 25, 2026 (KST), makeup artist Bang Sun Hwa shared a photo with Soo Ae on Instagram, giving fans a welcome update on the actress during her years-long hiatus.

“Sudden meetups are always a success,” Bang Sun Hwa wrote, adding that their conversation seemed endless.
In the photo, Soo Ae can be seen smiling brightly while posing with Bang Sun Hwa and another acquaintance. Wearing a simple black high-neck top, the actress drew attention for her elegant visuals and unchanged beauty.
Despite the lack of flashy styling, Soo Ae’s clear skin, defined features, and graceful aura stood out immediately. Her naturally tied-back hair and soft smile also added to her effortless charm.
The update quickly caught fans’ attention, as Soo Ae has not appeared in a new project since the JTBC K-Drama Artificial City, which ended in February 2022. Before that, she last appeared on the big screen in the 2018 K-Movie, High Society.
With her acting hiatus now stretching past four years, fans were thrilled to see a new update from the actress. Many reacted by saying how much they missed her, leaving comments such as, “I miss Soo Ae so much,” and “She’s still so elegant.”
