Paris-based actress Sharon Au sets sights on ‘new beginning’ in Seoul
Former Singaporean actress Sharon Au is expanding her career by spending more time in Seoul for professional opportunities. She describes this move as a 'new beginning' following her previous relocation to Paris.
Why it matters
The story reflects the global mobility of Asian entertainment figures and the increasing influence of the South Korean creative industry.
Former Singaporean actress-host Sharon Au is embarking on yet another adventure – with plans to spend more time in Seoul – about eight years after moving from Singapore to Paris in search of change.
Posting photos on Sept 24 from a photo shoot with South Korean fashion brand L’H.A.S., she wrote on Instagram: “Seoul, it seems, has plans for me.”
The 51-year-old said: “These photographs with L’H.A.S. mark the beginning of something new. I don’t quite know where it will lead yet. Perhaps that is the point.”
Work has been taking her to Seoul more frequently since August, and she expects to spend more time there, she told Singapore's Straits Times on Sept 25.
“Paris remains my base,” she pointed out and added: “Seoul, however, seems increasingly determined to keep me coming back.”
However, she did not give details about her work in the South Korean capital.
