The backgrounds of Korean celebrities' families are diverse and come from various backgrounds. However, who would have thought that some of them actually come from military families and are children of a soldier.

Living in a military family certainly has very strict rules, as does the entertainment world in South Korea. However, apparently they choose to pursue a career as an artist and enter the entertainment world rather than becoming a soldier like their father.

Curious about which Korean celebs are actually children of a soldier? Let's take a look below.

1. Park Bo Young

In an interview, the star of the series Strong Woman Do Bong Soon revealed that her family applied strict rules. For example, she was not allowed to wear shorts during the summer and was not allowed to come home late at night.
