Actress Park Hwan Hee Re-evaluated for Maternal Love and as Granddaughter of Independence Activist After 'Descendants of the Sun'

Actress Park Hwan Hee, who gained recognition for her nurse role in the drama 'Descendants of the Sun', is currently drawing attention for being the granddaughter of an independence activist and for her deep maternal love following her divorce. Her participation as a ceremonial first pitch thrower on Liberation Day, among other activities as a descendant of an independence activist, has highlighted both her public and private life.

Park Hwan Hee's maternal grandfather, Ha Jong-jin, was an independence meritorious person who dedicated himself to various independence movements, starting with his involvement in the March 1st Movement in 1919. His contributions included leading student strikes at Daegu High School, participating in the Gyeongseong Tram Company strike, and organizing the secret society 'Jinu Yeonmaeng'. The government posthumously awarded Ha Jong-jin the Order of Merit for National Foundation, Patriotism Chapter, in 1990. Park Hwan Hee has previously participated in the 2018 Liberation Day celebration and the 2019 100th Anniversary of the March 1st Movement as a descendant of an independence activist.

Bloggers express empathy for Park Hwan Hee, noting that despite her early marriage and divorce, she consistently shows affection for her 15-year-old son on social media, calling him 'the greatest pride of my life' and 'my best friend'. Although her ex-husband has custody, her unwavering maternal love and proud actions as a descendant of an independence activist, maintaining a deep relationship even when not living together, are seen as impressive.
