But this time, the older man is Chae Yeon’s dad.
Father and daughter are in Beijing as part of the cheer team for the Korean athletes participating in the 2008 Summer Olympics.
On August 11th, 2008, Korea has come away with a gold in Men’s Archery and Silver medal for Wang Ki-chun in Judo (73kg). Go Korea Go!
Check out the medal standings here.

whoaaaa i haven’t seen Eva in awhile
xD i read the title and new it was her dad
That’s super cute.
wow!!! thats eva!!!! i wonder if she still keeps in contact with the suju boys?? LOL…
anyways… i like chae yeon’s style… n’ the other girl looked so excited!!! LOL
what the hell is Eva doing with them?
Isn’t she British? (part british part japanese but holds british citizenship) so shouldn’t she be cheering for the Brits o the Japanese athletes?
-_- she’s such a wannabe..
@ sara: eva can hangout w/ her friends too!!! … n’ i bet they weren’t only cheering for korea… 3 photos of them cheering should not conclude that eva was ONLY cheering for korea…
wouldn’t you support your friends’ country if you n’ your friends were from different nations!?!?!
sometimes i cheer for other countries… there is nothing wrong with that…
That guy doesn’t look like he’s the father of a 30 year old. He looks, what, 45?
i knew that was her pappy…
yaya!!! EVA POPIEL!!! Whooo!!!
(okay… i forgot… how is she even famous…? besides the fact that she was on a show with super junior FULL HOUSE?… -_-lll …confused..)
So they’re dating?!?…
Eva is super cute! Totally adore that girl!
i always thought Eva was Russian
WTH happened to Chae Yeon’s thigh on the pic with Bora ? O____O
taejus, she was in crown j’s music video too, and that talk show with all the foreign chicks. if jamila can be popular so can eva. *shrug* at least eva seems to have some sense!
sara, please get real. anyone can cheer for any country. im not korean but i cheer for sk in the olympics. i was so happy when pth came in over phelps that i jumped up and cheered in my living room >_< korean pride is contagious, you know ^.^
^ okay ria, i believe that was the semi-finals. Phelps never tries his hardest during those. he’s trying to conserve energy [correct me if i'm wrong..
]
why is eva rooting for korea? isn’t she japanese?
Yeah, but she makes her living in Korea.
Park Tae Hwan can definitely get on the podium in the 200 m but I have a hard, hard time seeing him beat a determined Michael Phelps. Phelps is the Greatest of All Times. Even better then Thorpe.
taejus is right,
the final swimming for the 200m freestyle is today in beijing time
i’m gonna go watch it live on nbc.com tonight @ 7:16pm
GO PARK TAE HWANNNN(:
Phelps had to conserve his energy for the 4×100 relay which he had to do like 30 minutes later. Phelps broke (and smashed) the world record last year and 200m freestyle is one of his strong events. He will win.
lolz knew it.
I was like he’s cute, but i though she had better taste than that. XD
From : [MoneyToday / NewsEn/ SportsKhan] 8/11/2008
Actress Chae Rim (채림) and singer Chae Yun (채연), who were classmates in Seoul Institute of the Arts, suddenly bump into each other in Beijing, China. They haven’t seen each other since their debuts in the Korean entertainment world.
CR and CY, who entered Seoul Institute of the Arts in 1998 and became classmates, come across each other in a Korean restaurant at Beijing. Upon seeing each other, they hug each other.
Chae Yun is in the first team of ‘Entertainers Expeditionary Team’ attending Beijing Olympic Games to cheer for South Korean National Team. She cheered for the archery team at the archery range during daytime of 8/10 and then goes to a Korean restaurant with other entertainers to eat dinner.
In the meantime, Chae Rim, comedian Lee Young Ja (이영자) and singer Kim Chang Ryul (김창렬), who are filming for the “Olympic Games Special” of TV program “Live Talk Show – Taxi (현장토크쇼 택시)” for cable channel tvN, are also eating dinner at the same restaurant. Although it seems a little bit awkward when Chae Rim and Chae Yun shake hands with each other because they haven’t seen each other for a long time, they smile and gladly greet each other a hug.
Chae Rim says with a smile, “Both of us have been busy after our debuts. This is the first time we directly meet each other since our debuts.”
It is great that Chae Rim and Chae Yun come across each other at Beijing.
In addition to Chae Yun, the first team of Korean first team of ‘Entertainers Expeditionary Team’ include Kang Byung Gyoo, Yoon Jung Soo, Im Sung Hoon, Kim Yong Man, Mina, Jo Ju Jung
that’s such a father-daughter way of holding hands/linking arms.
no resemblance whatsoever.
WOW, Chae Yeon really got the spirits for S.Korea!!!She got her dad in her shoes!!!Go, S.Korea, I’m sure you can make it!!!You’ve got the US and China only to beat, HWAITING!!!!
chae yeon is so pretttttyy
i love how she bought her dad
he look young
go chae yeon
Aw, that’s really sweet of Chaeyeon. She’s actually rather close with her father, and it’s really cute to see that he is advertising her Bequem products (although the hat itself is rather feminine of a style). Chaeyeon’s looking great, as is Eva!
