Choi Joon-hee, daughter of the legendary late actress Choi Jin-sil, has directly addressed and expressed her anger over rumors swirling around her ‘aunt-grandmother.’ This has sparked immense curiosity about the identity of the ‘aunt-grandmother’ she mentioned.
On May 18th, Choi Joon-hee took to her social media to announce strong action, stating, “Our entire family is absolutely furious. I made this video because people keep spreading ridiculous rumors, calling my grandmother a nanny or something. If you spread false rumors, I will track down every single one of you.”
Screenshots of messages she shared included comments like, “I wish people wouldn’t say she’s a nanny who worked for money,” and “Ms. Park XX used to rule Apgujeong back in the day, why call her a nanny?” It appears Choi Joon-hee is clearly displeased with the notion that this individual is merely a housekeeper or a nanny.
What truly caught everyone’s eye at the wedding was that while Choi Jin-sil’s mother, Choi Joon-hee’s maternal grandmother, was seated in the parents’ section, the ‘aunt-grandmother’ personally lit the wedding candle! A heartfelt tribute video dedicated to the ‘aunt-grandmother’ was also shown at the venue. This touching video featured childhood photos of Choi Joon-hee with her ‘aunt-grandmother,’ accompanied by messages such as “To Grandmother, from granddaughter Joon-hee” and “I love you so much, more than words can express.”
The woman at the center of attention is known to be a Ms. Park, whom Choi Joon-hee has affectionately called ‘aunt-grandmother’ for many years. However, her precise family relationship hasn’t been officially revealed. Online, rumors have swirled, ranging from her being a housekeeper or nanny to claims that she’s a relative of Choi Jin-sil’s family.
Earlier, the YouTube channel ‘Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho’ reportedly introduced this individual as “someone who had a connection with the late Choi Jin-sil during her lifetime.” The broadcast also claimed that Choi Joon-hee first met her current fiancé, who is 11 years her senior, when she went on a trip to Busan with her ‘aunt-grandmother’ during her school days and was introduced to him by an acquaintance of the ‘aunt-grandmother.’
However, Choi Joon-hee recently and publicly shut down the ‘nanny theory,’ strongly emphasizing that this individual is essentially a beloved family member. She has consistently shared heartwarming photos of herself traveling and spending holidays with her ‘aunt-grandmother’ over the years. On social media, she has affectionately called her “the person my mother loved most” and “the grandmother I love most.”
Amidst reports that Choi Joon-hee is currently experiencing conflict with her maternal grandmother, it appears the ‘aunt-grandmother’ has been a constant, loving presence by Choi Joon-hee’s side for a long time, caring for her and becoming her closest family-like figure.
