T-ara's Soyeon's support for Cho Yu-min draws attention

Former girl group T-ara member Soyeon has shown exceptional support for her husband, soccer player Cho Yu-min, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Soyeon released a video of herself attending her husband's game in person to cheer him on. Cho Yu-min was warming up and adjusting his condition before the match, and he waved happily upon spotting his wife, Soyeon.

However, the current situation in Dubai, where Soyeon is staying, is unstable due to the repercussions of the war between the United States-Israel and Iran. The risk of war has increased with incidents such as Iranian drones being shot down over Dubai's beaches and drones crashing near the international airport. In response, fans are expressing concern for Soyeon's safety.

Soyeon debuted with T-ara in 2009 and was active as a representative girl group of the second generation, releasing many hit songs. After leaving the group in 2017, she married soccer national team player Cho Yu-min, who is nine years her junior, in September 2022. Cho Yu-min transferred to Sharjah FC last year, with a transfer fee of approximately 1.5 billion won, and his current annual salary is estimated to have risen to 2 billion won.

Soyeon also expressed her heartfelt congratulations on her husband Cho Yu-min's selection to the South Korean national soccer team. Sharing the roster for the senior national team that included Cho Yu-min's name, she stated, "They say it takes a 0.025% chance to become a representative player for the South Korean senior team. I am truly grateful every single time."

Meanwhile, Soyeon was unable to attend the wedding of her T-ara member, Ham Eun-jung. Soyeon, who resides in her home in Dubai, explained the reason for her absence from Ham Eun-jung's wedding, and it was reported that she had also missed members' weddings in the past.
