Shin Eun-ha Surprises Fans with Phone Call at Comedian's Wedding, But Return Rumors Turn Out to Be a Hoax

At a recent extravagant wedding of comedian Shim Hyun-seop, actress Shin Eun-ha, known as the '26th descendant' of her family line, made a surprise appearance via phone call, delighting fans with her long-awaited voice. This unexpected moment sparked excitement about her potential return to the entertainment industry. However, the situation took a disappointing turn when it was revealed that the rumors of her comeback were part of a scam.

Although Shin Eun-ha did not attend the wedding in person, she called Shim Hyun-seop, the '25th descendant,' to express her heartfelt congratulations, saying, "I didn’t know you were getting married since I don’t watch TV. I’m really happy for you!" She added, "I’ve heard your wife is a wonderful person. I hope the wedding preparations aren’t too stressful. Let’s have a meal together sometime," showcasing her warm and friendly demeanor. Shim Hyun-seop responded with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law! I’ll come to greet you after the wedding," creating a heartwarming exchange.

Shin Eun-ha's voice, heard after such a long time, instantly raised fans' hopes for her return. Since her retirement from the entertainment industry in 2001, she has remained a legendary figure in the eyes of many. Fans reacted with excitement, wondering if this was a sign of her comeback, with comments like, "Is she finally coming back?" and "If she’s sharing her voice, could it mean she’s returning?"

However, shortly after, the truth behind the return rumors was revealed to be a scam, leading to greater disappointment among the public. Last year, a production company announced that they had signed a comeback contract with Shin Eun-ha, but it was later confirmed that this was a criminal act involving the misuse of her name by a third party. The perpetrator was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison, with a 4-year probation, and both Shin Eun-ha and the production company were identified as victims.

Netizens expressed their dismay, saying, "I was really hoping for her return, but this is so disappointing," and "After waiting so long, to find out it was a scam is heartbreaking. I just hope she’s doing well."

Shin Eun-ha remains a prominent name in the public's memory. Even a brief glimpse of her voice has created a significant impact, reaffirming her status as a beloved 'national actress' that time has not diminished.
