Former national rhythmic gymnast, Son Yeon Jae, recently offered her fans a peek into her heartwarming daily life as a mother by sharing fond moments with her young son. Through a series of photos posted on her social media on March 31st, Son can be seen playfully interacting with her son. The pictures depict her sitting comfortably on the floor in a cozy knit sweater and jeans, either embracing her son or teaching him how to use a hula hoop, showcasing a serene and affectionate parenting routine. In one adorable scene, her son joyfully crawls and circles around her, bringing smiles to those who view the images.
Despite her retirement from rhythmic gymnastics, Son's inherent instincts still shine through. In another photo taken at what seems to be her studio, she is captured stretching with a young girl while her son observes from the floor, displaying what she humorously described as a "jealous look," which elicited laughter. The caption "Don’t interrupt…" added a touch of humor and authenticity, capturing a genuine and relatable parenting moment.
Son Yeon Jae, who tied the knot with a financier nine years her senior in 2022 and welcomed their son in February 2023, gained attention for acquiring a private residence in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, which was reported to be valued at approximately 7.2 billion KRW (about $5.4 million USD).
Post-retirement, Son has been actively managing a rhythmic gymnastics studio, devoting herself to training aspiring athletes while juggling her roles as a mother and career woman. Her sincere and heartfelt depiction of "a day in the life of a mom" continues to receive unwavering support from her fans.
