Song Ji A shocks fans by trading variety show fame for pro golf status in 2025.
Once the adorable toddler on Dad! Where Are We Going?, Ji A has flipped the script. The daughter of ex-national soccer player Song Jong Kook and actress Park Yeon Soo is now a regular member of the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA).
Park Yeon Soo shared the milestone on August 6, posting a photo of Ji A holding a congratulatory card reading, “Congratulations to pro Song Ji A on becoming a regular member!”
Ji A’s golf journey started in middle school when she left her entertainment agency to chase a new dream.
“She was in elementary school when she left her entertainment agency and said she wanted to become a golfer. She joined a golf academy in her first year of middle school. I still remember her very first competition at Solago CC, where she shot just under 100. And now, six years later, she’s become a certified pro — at the very same course. It’s unbelievable.”

From child star to certified athlete, Ji A’s hard work is paying off. Raised by her mother after her parents’ divorce, Ji A and her younger brother Ji Wook are showing the world she’s just getting started.
