Kim Ji-young's son draws attention at BIGBANG concert

Actress Kim Ji-young shared a glimpse into her recent life, attending a BIGBANG concert with her 17-year-old son, who is currently preparing for entrance exams. Her son's handsome appearance caught the eyes of netizens, with many commenting, "He has the visuals to be an actor.'

On the 25th, Kim posted several photos on her SNS with the caption, "Relieving my exam-student son's stress!! Actually, I was the one jumping around more lol." She included hashtags such as "#BIGBANG concert #BIGBANG #son #date" to highlight the special time spent with her son.

In the photos, Kim is seen posing alongside her son at the BIGBANG concert venue. Both are dressed comfortably and looking at the camera, their bright expressions after the performance conveying a close bond between mother and son.

Kim's son, Hyun-bae, drew significant interest. Born in 2008, the 17-year-old caught attention with his striking facial features and tall stature. Having matured significantly since he was first introduced on television during his childhood, his grown appearance has sparked renewed interest from the public.

Netizens praised his looks, leaving comments such as, "I thought he was an idol," "He has the looks to be an actor," "He inherited the best traits of both his parents," "He reminds me of Gang Dong Won," and "He has a vibe like Minhyuk and Joon-gi Lee.'

Hyun-bae was previously introduced to the public through the MBN show "Modern Family." Even then, he garnered attention for resembling his actor parents, and his increasingly distinct features continue to draw the spotlight as he grows.

The outing was intended to help her son relieve the stress of preparing for his upcoming exams. Kim playfully noted that she was actually the one enjoying the performance more enthusiastically.

The concert was part of BIGBANG's 20th anniversary debut world tour. The group met with fans for three days from the 21st to the 23rd at the Goyang Stadium Main Stadium as part of their "2026–2027 World Tour."

The connection between Hyun-bae and BIGBANG also drew interest. Hyun-bae has a family connection to Dong Hyun-bae, the older brother of BIGBANG's Taeyang, and Kim previously acted alongside Dong Hyun-bae in the movie "Monstrous." This creates a unique link between the actor family and the BIGBANG member's family through the concert venue.

Kim married actor Nam Seong-jin, and the couple has a son born in 2008. As both parents are longtime actors, their son has been known to the public since his childhood through various broadcast appearances.

However, Hyun-bae has not officially announced a debut as an actor. As a typical teenager focused on his studies, the public interest in his visuals remains separate from his actual career path. Nevertheless, his appearance at the BIGBANG concert has once again highlighted his growth.
