Park Bo Gum was recently spotted socializing with some of South Korea’s biggest names in business and art. His appearance was revealed in an Instagram post by Kim Hee Young, a director at the T&C Foundation and the partner of SK Group Chairman Choi Tae Won.
Kim Hee Young is the live-in partner of SK Group Chairman Choi Tae Won, who was ordered by a Seoul court in August 2024 to pay 2 billion won ($1.5 million) in compensation to Choi’s estranged wife, Noh So Young, for her role in the breakdown of their marriage. Kim paid the alimony in August 2024, declining to appeal the ruling. The court found that Kim and Choi’s extramarital affair and the birth of a child out of wedlock, as well as their public appearances, fundamentally damaged the marital relationship between Choi and Noh.
Kim Hee Young shared several photos from the exclusive event on September 8th, including one of herself with a smiling Park Bo Gum. “After successfully finishing two big events, I’ll forever remember the genuinely happy faces of friends and acquaintances who came from so far,” she wrote in her caption.
The event was a solo exhibition for the world-renowned artist Kim Soo Ja, her first in Seoul in ten years. The exhibition was held at the historic Seonhaewon, a traditional Korean hanok building in Seoul that was once the private residence of the SK Group’s founder. It has since been repurposed as a private corporate research and event space.
Park Bo Gum reportedly attended the exhibition after receiving a personal invitation from the artist, Kim Soo Ja.
Living up to his role as an Honorary Ambassador for Korean Tourism, Park Bo Gum was also seen posing for photos with other high-profile figures from Korea’s business world throughout the evening.
