Viral photos of Hirai Saya and Shim Horu appear at Shim Hyung-joo’s family event

Actor Shim Hyung-joo, his wife Saya Hirai and son Shim Ha-ryu recently made their first public appearance. The family participated in a Japanese high-end souvenir pop-up event at Yeouido IFC Shopping Center on the 29th. The event itself brings together premium dessert brands from multiple regions of Japan into one shared space. They serve as ambassadors and launch various Omiyage desserts. They also expressed New Year blessings through a brief on-stage interaction, followed by an official group photo.

At the same time, attention naturally shifted to the youngest members. One-year-old Shim Haru appeared on stage with her parents and immediately aroused the audience’s interest. In addition, Hirai’s existence also carries cultural significance. As a Japanese, she interprets “souvenirs” as gifts meant to share true feelings with loved ones. This explanation helped Korean viewers see local products beyond desserts.

After the event, organizers from the Japan Souvenir Promotion Association shared their comments. They said the involvement of family members blended personal storytelling with cultural information. As a result, the Sim family was officially recognized as characters connecting Korean and Japanese audiences.

Additionally, Saya Hirai has attracted attention online over the years for her appearance. Many users noticed her resemblance to Jungkook, a comparison that first appeared in 2023.
