When visitors to Gimpo International Airport discovered actress Min Hyo-rin on Sept. 11, she was not surrounded by bodyguards or managers, or tried to leave the place in hurry. She was right among the crowd waiting in line to get their boarding passes.
The rare scene of a hot celebrity was photographed and posted on Instagram. Wearing blue jeans and a white shirt, with a handbag slung over her shoulder, the star, 30, waited about 30 minutes in the long line of people leaving the country before the Chuseok holiday season, or Korean Thanksgiving.
“Min was spotted waiting in line without using a ‘free pass’ often used by celebrities not to go through the hassle of waiting for a long time,” media reports said.
The star from KBS variety show “Sisters’ Slam Dunk” was on her way to Japan for a magazine photo shoot.
