A Trot Idol’s Family Road Trip
When she’s not dazzling fans on stage, trot singer Kim Dahyun is showing her softer side—this time through a touching father-daughter trip to picturesque Namhae. Their getaway, captured on Kim’s YouTube channel, offered not just coastal charm and sightseeing, but plenty of laughs and family bonding moments.
A Musical Start at Museum Namhae
Their first stop was Museum Namhae, where the two explored a quirky musical instrument exhibit. Dahyun’s dad wandered around like a curious kid in a toy store, playfully examining unfamiliar instruments. Things got even more creative when the duo tried their hand at making ceramic dolls—Dahyun even crafted one that looked just like her dad and joked it looked like a mountain bandit.
Behind the Mask at the Mask Performance Museum
Next stop: the Namhae Mask Performance Museum, a hidden gem showcasing Korea’s traditional masks. Dahyun tried her hand at mask-making and signed her finished piece so that fans could spot her creation in the future. Her father, meanwhile, roamed the museum with the curiosity of someone discovering Korea’s folk heritage for the first time.
Savoring Market Day Magic
The highlight of the trip? A stroll through the bustling Namhae market day scene. The pair snacked on yuja steamed buns (yuja is a Korean citrus fruit similar to yuzu), soaking in both the flavor and the friendly vibes. “It’s the kind of place that makes you want to eat everything,” Dahyun’s dad said with a satisfied grin.
Warm Memories and Sweet Words
At the end of the journey, Kim Dahyun’s father gave the entire experience a ‘five-star rating,’ saying his ears and eyes were thoroughly pampered. Dahyun herself called Namhae “warm like a mother’s embrace,” adding she’d love to come back again soon.
The trip wasn’t just a wholesome YouTube vlog—it turned into a moving reminder of the joys of family, the beauty of Korea’s southern coast, and the charm of the nation’s quieter cultural spots.
Meanwhile, on the Trot Star Circuit…
Back in the spotlight, Kim Dahyun is also holding strong in the September Netizen Awards, currently ranking fourth in the Female Singer category. With the October round just around the corner, fans are eager to see if she’ll climb higher—or win it all.
