Korean Celebrity Ahn Sohee's Heartwarming Family Video Sparks Chinese Social Media Buzz

Chinese social media platform Weibo was abuzz with adoration and curiosity last week following a touching family video featuring South Korean actress and singer Ahn Sohee, also known as Autumn Cicada (秋瓷炫), and her adoptive parents.

In the widely shared video, Autumn Cicica is seen warmly interacting with her adoptive mother and father, known as "公公" and "婆婆" in Chinese. The heartwarming moments show the family sharing laughter, preparing food, and even adorning a traditional Chinese New Year banner with the character "福" (blessing). Although she is a well-known figure in South Korea, Autumn Cicada is equally popular in China for her work in Chinese productions such as the critically acclaimed drama, "My Name is Kim Samsoon".

The video, which was uploaded on Autumn Cicada's official Weibo account, drew a range of comments from Chinese netizens. One Weibo user, 秋瓷炫的微博视频, expressed their admiration for Autumn Cicada's traditional beauty saying, "She looks so classical and beautiful, although she is a Korean, her face really fits the Chinese preference."

Another user, 江南烟雨入红尘, commended the actress's touching relationship with her adoptive parents. They wrote, "She will be leaving soon, but the love and warmth these adoptive parents have given her is truly touching. It's hard for her to let go of the short time she spent with them."

The family video, which also features Autumn Cicada's adoptive brother, sparked a debate among Chinese users. User D叶子姑娘C commented on the strong connection between the family members, saying, "Too close! The son should have a sense of privacy. Maybe there should be a surveillance camera at home!"

Despite some raised eyebrows, the overall sentiment on Weibo was one of warmth and admiration for Autumn Cicada's close-knit family. This led to a surge in popularity for the video, which captured the essence of traditional Chinese family values.

The video was also significant due to its portrayal of a cross-cultural family. Autumn Cicada, a South Korean actress, has been adopted into a Chinese family, and their interactions have deeply touched Chinese viewers. Through the video, Chinese netizens have been able to witness the joy and love a family can bring, regardless of their cultural backgrounds.

In terms of image descriptions, the video displays the following scenes:

1. Autumn Cicada and her adoptive parents posting matching red couplet cards (对联) on their door for the New Year.

2. Autumn Cicada holding a red envelope (红包) symbolizing good luck and fortune.

3. The entire family posing with a "福" (blessing) character banner, an essential decoration for Chinese New Year.

4. Autumn Cicada, her adoptive brother, and parents laughing and enjoying their time together, with the actress playfully posing for the camera.

5. A close-up of Autumn Cicada's adoptive parents, with her adoptive father wearing a traditional Chinese New Year hat (帽子).

In recent news, Chinese viewers have often found themselves connecting with South Korean celebrities who promote Chinese culture or even adopt Chinese practices, as seen with Ahn Sohee's participation in Chinese dramas and her close relationship with her adoptive Chinese family.

Although many Chinese viewers are drawn to the content of Autumn Cicada's video, some have expressed disappointment with the exploitative nature of the video, remarking that the intimate family moments were reduced to a viral marketing campaign. User 我老公说好好好 criticized the commercialization of the content, saying, "It's a pity to see such a warm and heartwarming family moment being reduced to a marketing stunt."

Regardless of the mixed opinions, the video has undoubtedly shone a spotlight on the connection between Chinese and Korean cultures and has fostered greater understanding and appreciation for cross-cultural families. It has also allowed Autumn Cicada's Chinese fans to see her in a more personal and relatable light, making her even more endearing to her audience.

As the adage goes, "family is everything," and this touching video of Autumn Cicada with her adoptive Chinese family has certainly resonated with viewers across China.
