Actress Sun Woo Yong Reunites with Grandchildren in Los Angeles

Long-Awaited Family Visit Highlights Travel Challenges

Veteran actress Sun Woo Yong has finally met her grandchildren in the United States, marking a significant moment captured in a recent YouTube video. The visit, however, was not without its initial hurdles.

Navigating Entry Procedures

The actress’s journey to Los Angeles to see her son, daughter, and their children faced a snag during entry procedures. Reports indicate that her renewed permanent residence status required confirmation from the U.S. Department of Justice, causing a delay in boarding her flight.

Despite the initial complication, her children, who are U.S. citizens, were able to facilitate her entry. The actress expressed her sentimentality about a luxury bag her husband gifted her 20 years ago, which she still cherishes and uses, highlighting its enduring value.

A Joyful Reunion at LAX

Upon arrival at Los Angeles International Airport after a lengthy flight, Sun Woo Yong required a wheelchair to navigate the vast terminal, admitting, “I can’t walk alone because the LA airport is long.” She noted a newfound awareness of her physical limitations, remarking, “I didn’t know that I was tired in the old days.”

At the departure hall, she was warmly greeted by her son, daughter, and grandchildren. The touching scene of her grandchildren embracing her as she sat in the wheelchair was a heartwarming moment. She expressed delight in her grandchildren’s engagement with her online content, stating they find her YouTube channel the “best.”

Sun Woo Yong shared her joy in spending time with the younger generation, noting a tradition: “When you meet, you give hundreds of dollars to grandchildren.”

Following their airport reunion, the family proceeded to a meal with Sun Woo Yong‘s foreign son-in-law, continuing their cherished family time.

A Glimpse into Everyday Life

Sun Woo Yong has been actively sharing her daily life and experiences with fans through her YouTube channel, aptly named ‘Sunpung Sun Woo Yong -yeo.’ This platform has allowed her to maintain a connection with her audience by showcasing personal moments and travels.

The popularity of such content reflects a growing trend; as of late 2023, YouTube creators in South Korea saw an average monthly viewership of over 3.5 billion hours, indicating a strong public appetite for personal vlogs and celebrity content (Statista, 2024).
