Uhm Jeong-hwa reveals story behind viral family photo

Actress Uhm Jeong-hwa has shared the story behind a family photo that recently went viral on SNS. As her striking resemblance to her mother and sisters drew significant attention, Uhm laughed, saying, "I didn't know the reaction would be this big."

On the morning of the 4th, Uhm appeared on the KBS 1TV show 'Morning Forum' alongside actors Park Seong-ung and Bae Jung-nam ahead of the release of the film 'Okay! Madam 2'.

During the appearance, Uhm spoke directly about the family photo she recently posted on SNS, which had become a major topic of conversation.

The photo captured Uhm, her mother, her older sister, and her younger sister standing side by side. All four boasted distinct facial features and a similar aura, leading to online reactions such as, "Are they quadruplets?", "The power of genetics is incredible," and "I can't tell who is the mother and who is the daughter."

"I really didn't know it would become such a hot topic," Uhm said, adding, "A few days ago, I went on a trip with my family to celebrate my mother's birthday."

She continued, "I haven't been able to properly celebrate my mother's birthday in the past using being busy as an excuse, but this time, I was so happy to spend time together. I posted the photo on SNS because it was a good memory, but it went crazy the next day. There were so many comments saying we all look the same," she shared with a laugh.

She also revealed her family's reaction.

Uhm conveyed the atmosphere of her family, who received unexpected attention, saying, "My mother loved it so much, and my older and younger sisters really liked it too."

Uhm, who has always shown extraordinary family love, has consistently shared her daily life with her family through various broadcasts and SNS. This photo was a natural moment from a trip rather than a staged shot, but it garnered great attention due to their similar looks.

Uhm will meet audiences through the film 'Okay! Madam 2', which is set to be released on the 12th.

'Okay! Madam 2' is a comic action film about the family of Mi-young, a former legendary agent, who gets caught up in a cruise hijacking incident in the middle of the ocean while on a luxury cruise trip.
