Naeun confused by 'Kim Min-jae clone' referee on Shooting Stars

The children of soccer star Park Ju-ho appeared on the set of 'Shooting Stars,' bringing a heartwarming energy to the show. In a moment that drew widespread laughter, daughter Naeun mistook a referee—widely known as the 'Kim Min-jae clone'—for the actual soccer star Kim Min-jae.

In the SBS variety show 'Shooting Stars' broadcast on the 6th, the Blue Team and Yellow Team faced off during the 2nd GIFA Cup All-Star Game.

Before the match, announcer Bae Seong Jae introduced the head referee, Jeong Dongsik, with a special note.

“Today's head referee is the Kim Min-jae clone, Jeong Dongsik.”

Jeong has become a viral sensation online due to his striking resemblance to national team defender Kim Min-jae. On the day of the match, players and spectators alike were visibly surprised, exclaiming, “He really looks just like him!”

Watching from the stands were Naeun, Geonhu, and Jin-woo, the children of former soccer player and broadcaster Park Ju-ho.

The three siblings, who have been beloved by the public since their childhood on 'The Return of Superman,' once again brightened the atmosphere with their cheerful and lovely presence.

Naeun provided a hilarious moment when she looked at Jeong and exclaimed, “It's Uncle Kim Min-jae!” Given the referee's uncanny resemblance to the star defender, the young girl's mistake felt entirely natural.

However, after being told he was “similar but a different person,” Naeun’s momentarily confused expression and cute reaction added even more laughter to the set.

Influenced by their father's passion for the sport, the three siblings fully immersed themselves in the stadium experience. During the halftime break, Park told his children to “go in and kick the ball,” prompting Naeun, Geonhu, and Jin-woo to rush onto the pitch to play.

Notably, Geonhu displayed his soccer DNA by demonstrating impressive left-footed shooting despite his young age, while Jin-woo captured the crowd's attention with his thoughtful fan service, gifting a ball to the spectators.

The Park family has consistently showcased their deep love for soccer and strong family bonds through various programs. On this day, the siblings' natural talent and bright energy turned their surprise appearance into a major highlight of the episode.

Since retiring from professional soccer, Park has remained active in the public eye through broadcasting and soccer-related ventures, while Naeun, Geonhu, and Jin-woo continue to grow in the spotlight through various television appearances.
