Actress Ku Hye-sun is drawing attention for reinventing her life 5 years after her divorce from actor Ahn Jae-hyun. Once known for her work in entertainment, she now divides her time between graduate study and entrepreneurship — a transformation that has resonated with many.
Ku is enrolled in the master’s program in science journalism at KAIST. Her shift from the entertainment industry to science and reporting has surprised and intrigued observers.
In a photo she posted on social media on July 2, Ku wrote, \”I even received new KAIST clothing as a gift. Thank you,\” signaling that she is embracing life as a graduate student. At 35, her willingness to pursue a new field stands out.
Perhaps more surprising is that Ku patented a circular hair roller she designed and has launched a startup around the product. She announced the move into business on social media, posting images of her patent certificate and a preliminary venture company confirmation.
Sharing a photo captioned, \”I’m drafting the hair-roller agreement,\” she offered a behind-the-scenes look at the business process. Rather than leaving the idea on paper, she secured a patent and is translating it into a company — a demonstration of clear initiative.
Ku’s path has not been easy. After her 2020 divorce from Ahn Jae-hyun, she endured serious financial difficulties. On past television appearances she confessed, \”I squandered a lot of my assets,\” and revealed that she had at times slept in her car.
She has also said that the hardship helped repair family bonds, noting, \”After those bad things happened to me, my family became closer.\” Reports indicate she spent nights in a car parked on a school lot during some of her hardest days.
Recently, Ku even shared an anecdote about receiving a confession of love from a college student in his 20s.
New photos show Ku looking as radiant as she did in her prime. Many observers say that overcoming hardship and taking on fresh challenges has made her seem even more striking.
Ku rose to fame in the hit series Boys Over Flowers. Since then she has married, divorced and now launched a new chapter. Her story has encouraged many who believe it is possible to begin again, and audiences are watching to see how she evolves next.
