K-pop star Hyomin shocks fans as she makes an unexpected trip to Sydney

One of South Korea’s biggest celebrities has made a surprise trip Down Under.

K-pop star Hyomin, best known as a member of the girl group T-ara, arrived in Sydney on Saturday and has wasted no time enjoying what the city has to offer.

After unpacking at her hotel, the 32-year-old was spotted at Sydney Olympic Park before being chauffeured to the 5-star restaurant Grana in the city.

While dining on oysters and torched salmon, the starlet was stopped by a fan who recognised her. 

‘I’m shell shocked!’ the fan gushed as a flattered Hyomin giggled from her seat.

The pair posed for a photo together before the songstress made her way to the Sydney Opera House to watch Phantom of the Opera and to catch the Easter fireworks.

They later crossed over into the lucrative Chinese and Japanese music markets.

When she wasn’t busy with T-ara, Hyomin launched a solo music career and dabbled in acting.

These days, she’s more active in the beauty and influencer space. 

She’s not the only K-pop star to visit Australia in recent years, with 2PM, Blackpink, Stray Kids and many more idols heading Down Under for work and play.
