Yano Shiho's mother stuns with actress-like beauty and 169cm physique
Top model Yano Shiho reveals her mother and daughter Choo Sa-rang on KBS 2TV's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant,' showcasing incredible model DNA.
Top Japanese model Yano Shiho showcased the epitome of "superior genes" by revealing her mother for the first time on broadcast. The extraordinary physiques of three generations—from 173cm tall model Yano Shiho to her mother with a slender 169cm frame, and her daughter Choo Sa-rang, who already boasts model-like proportions at age 14—drew admiration from viewers.

The KBS 2TV variety program 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant,' aired on the 30th, was presented as a summer special titled 'Dangerous Invitation.' During the broadcast, Yano spent a special time sharing family stories she had never previously disclosed.
Most eye-catching of all was Yano's mother.
Yano's mother, who had never appeared on television before, made her debut on this day. Standing before the camera, she garnered attention immediately upon her appearance with an elegant yet sophisticated aura, a bright smile, and a tall stature comparable to a model.
Reactions from viewers were intense, with comments such as, "Is she really a non-celebrity?" and "I would believe it if she said she was an actress."
Yano is a figure who has been loved for a long time while working as a world-class top model. With her 173cm height, perfect proportions, and healthy image, she has established herself as one of Japan's representative models.
Through this broadcast, it was naturally revealed where such beauty and physique came from for her daughter.
Yano's mother also boasted a tall height of 169cm and an elegant aura. Along with a youthful appearance that makes it difficult to guess her age and a natural dignity, the charm of a look-alike mother and daughter was clearly felt as she stood beside her daughter.
Looking at her mother, Yano laughed, saying, "It feels like I'm looking at myself," and admiration continued in the studio with comments like, "They really look identical."
In particular, the '3-generation model DNA' of Yano's family received attention once again during this broadcast.
Her daughter, Choo Sa-rang, born to Yano and mixed martial arts fighter Choo Sung-hoon, received national love during her childhood through KBS's 'The Return of Superman.'
Now 14 years old, Choo Sa-rang is making headlines with her outstanding proportions, standing 172cm tall and weighing 48.75kg. Having inherited her mother Yano's model genes and her father Choo Sung-hoon's sturdy physique, Choo is already garnering interest from the fashion industry.
Another highlight of the broadcast was the warm mother-daughter relationship between Yano and her mother.
Yano, who usually stands before the public with the image of a perfect professional model, returned to being a daughter-like figure on this day.
She acted aegyo toward her mother, saying, "I want to eat the food Mom made," and her mother welcomed her with food she prepared herself.
In particular, the mother showed extraordinary culinary expertise by revealing special ingredients she brought directly from Japan.
In her confident manner of saying, "With just this one thing, you don't need seasonings. Any food becomes delicious," one could feel the taste and sincerity of a mother who has cooked for her family for a long time.
Yano, who is also famous for her cooking skills, acknowledged the sense and sincerity she inherited from her mother. The two spent a natural and affectionate time making food together and sharing stories from the past.
While she is a world-class model on glamorous stages and runways, Yano's appearance as an infinitely ordinary daughter in front of her mother delivered a warm resonance to viewers.
Yano is married to Choo Sung-hoon and has a daughter, Choo Sa-rang. The family of three received great love by appearing on the KBS variety show 'The Return of Superman' since 2013, and they continue to communicate with the public through active activities in their respective fields.
This broadcast was a moment that went beyond a simple family reveal, showing the similar faces and lives of a mother and daughter as time passes, and the power of the special genes flowing through three generations.
