Early Career in Fashion
After entering the fashion industry in the early 2010s, Eun Bo-ah worked in brand coordination, styling consultancy, and wardrobe management. Her editorial and runway work suggests trend predicting and material sourcing skills, yet her job description is unknown. In 2013, she made informal collaborations with Seoul-based designers, contributing to seasonal lookbooks and consumer outreach events with low attendance numbers.
Her decision to leave front-facing fashion coincided with her late 2013 marriage planning. During her final significant project, a capsule collection launch event in November 2013, she attracted over 500 people from media, retail, and influencer circles, demonstrating her strong network in South Korean fashion.
Marriage to Oh Ji‑ho
Eun Bo-ah married Oh Ji-ho at the Shilla Hotel in central Seoul on April 12, 2014. The wedding included almost 200 guests, including industry peers and relatives, and featured a three-tiered cake with traditional Korean elements. They married in Korean and English to show their respect for culture and globalisation.
Eun’s simple reception featured white peonies, geometric centrepieces, and a unique runway exhibit for visitors to congratulate them. The event ended with a modern string quartet performance after five vendors—catering, floral, décor, lighting, and entertainment—coordinated.
Television Presence: The Return of Superman
Eun Bo-ah and Oh Ji-ho debuted on KBS’s The Return of Superman in mid-2016, joining other celebrity parents tackling parenting issues. The family segment drew 12 million viewers each episode across 45 episodes between 2016 and 2019, demonstrating public interest in their dynamic.
Eun’s few on-camera appearances emphasised her stabilising influence. In 10 special episodes—family vacations, milestone celebrations, and parenting workshops—she candidly discussed balancing privacy and televised life. Over all seasons, she spent around 150 minutes on television, focussing on mother-daughter and sibling interactions.
Family Life and Children
The family grew to four members with the arrival of two children:
Name | Relationship | Birth Date | Nickname |
---|---|---|---|
Oh Seo‑heun | Daughter | December 30, 2015 | Jibong |
Second Child | Son | August 18, 2018 | — |
Eun and Oh prioritised shared daytime tasks in their co-parenting schedules. In 2018-2023, they alternated weeks for school drop-off, extracurricular activities, and weekend adventures. In late 2023, the children attended a bilingual international school in Seoul with 20-student classes that focused on early childhood development.
Recent Highlights and Travels
Family Trip to Japan
The family completed a five-day cultural tour to Tokyo and Kyoto in June 2024. The schedule includes visits to three heritage sites (Kinkakuji, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Gion area) and two design museums related to Eun’s fashion background. The trip’s photo slideshows on Oh Ji-ho’s verified social media account received over 1.2 million likes and comments, demonstrating their sustained popularity.
Oh Ji‑ho’s Current Projects
In addition to family activities, Oh Ji-ho maintained a busy performing schedule. In early 2024, he filmed Heo’s Diner, a 16-episode fantasy rom-com. Seoul and Busan were the locations for 14 weeks of filming. Behind-the-scenes footage showed Eun visiting the set three times, demonstrating her support despite tight production schedules.
Public and Private Balance
Eun Bo-ah maintains a discreet image, avoiding popular interviews and allowing only limited social media access. Her alias fashion blog features quarterly postings on sustainable materials and seasonal palettes. By 2023, the blog had 3,500 subscribers, proving her unique influence.
She promotes child education, cultural preservation, and family customs. In November 2023, she appeared at a charity event for children and emphasised play-based learning, which inspired a KRW 10 million gift to local community centres.
