Sooyoung's Return to the Public Eye: A Supportive Step With Her Father

Girls' Generation member-turned-actress Sooyoung has made her first official appearance following her breakup with actor Jung Kyung Ho. She was seen at the 12th Together Marathon With The Visually Impaired, an event that she has long been supportive of. Sooyoung joined the event with her hair neatly tied back in a ponytail, drawing warm attention as she stood side by side with her father, the chairman of the Movement To Eradicate Blindness organization.

Sooyoung has long been an ambassador for the organization, which aims to support visually impaired individuals and patients with hereditary retinal diseases. In 2023, she donated 300 million KRW (about $198,000 USD) to help fund research into treatments for blinding diseases. Her dedication to the cause is evident in her continued support of the event, where she ran the course alongside marathon participants.

The event proceeds will be used for the welfare of visually impaired individuals, reflecting Sooyoung's commitment to the cause. Her father's involvement in the organization and the event is also a testament to their shared dedication to supporting those in need.

Sooyoung's breakup with Jung Kyung Ho was reported on June 9, marking the end of their 14-year relationship. They had received much support as one of the entertainment industry's representative long-term couples, but ultimately parted ways.
