Former Wonder Girls’s Hyerim Flaunts Her “Golden Spoon” Status by Revealing Childhood Hong Kong Mansion with Private Pool
Former Wonder Girls member Woo Hyerim is set to unveil a special part of her past, revealing her childhood home in Hong Kong for the first time on KBS2’s popular reality show The Return of Superman.
Hyerim Revealed Her Childhood Hong Kong Mansion, Proving “Golden Spoon” Status
In the upcoming 571st episode titled “Happiness Doubled When Traveling Together,” airing on April 30, Hyerim, along with her husband, Shin Min-chul and their 37-month-old son, Siwoo, will visit the luxurious high-rise apartment where she grew up before debuting with Wonder Girls.
Hyerim’s childhood residence, complete with a large private garden and a swimming pool, immediately captures attention, highlighting her long-speculated “golden spoon” background. Overwhelmed with nostalgia, Hyerim explores the familiar spaces, including her old bedroom, where a life-changing moment occurred.
Pointing to her childhood desk, she shared, “I checked my JYP audition results right there,” recalling the emotional day she celebrated her acceptance into one of Korea’s top entertainment companies.
Hyerim’s Adorable Childhood Photos
The episode also promises to showcase adorable childhood photos of Hyerim, featuring her signature crescent-moon smile and sparkling eyes, which fans will notice bear an uncanny resemblance to her son Siwoo.
Meanwhile, Siwoo will experience a significant milestone of his own during the trip — participating in his first group taekwondo class at his grandfather’s academy in Hong Kong. Despite being just 37 months old, Siwoo impresses with his disciplined stance, spirited energy, and his ability to follow English instructions with ease.
Coming from a family deeply rooted in martial arts, his grandfather holding a 9th dan black belt and both his father and uncle being 6th dan black belts, Siwoo seems naturally gifted. The young boy will even engage in a friendly sparring match against a 5-year-old green belt, courageously holding his own despite the age and size difference.
Whether Siwoo can win the surprise taekwondo showdown and more touching moments from Hyerim’s heartfelt return to her roots will be revealed during the broadcast.
