Huh Mimi, a national female Judoka, has become a successful fangirl.
On August 29, she met with the media at the Mungyeong Indoor Gymnasium.
Although it’s a bit hard because my schedule is tight, I am so happy right now. If I hadn’t won the medal, I would most likely still be at home. So, I’m so happy.
— Huh Mimi
Huh won the silver medal in the women’s 57 kg Judo and a bronze medal in the mixed team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Previously, the story of Heo Mimi, a descendant of the late Heo Seok, a national patriot, garnered much attention even before the Olympics.
Recently, Huh expressed her support and affection for actor Nam Joo Hyuk on various broadcasts. Being a huge fan, she stated, “I hope to see him just once.”

And it looks like her wish has come true.
I received a really long KakaoTalk message from Nam Joo Hyuk. I was so happy that I didn’t want to tell anyone. This is the first time I am revealing this. He probably didn’t see the match because he is currently in the military, but he contacted me and told me that my efforts were cool and that he would always support me.

Her happiness could be felt as she revealed how she replied to him.
“During a previous interview, I said that I would reply to him right away, but I couldn’t because I was so nervous. I thought about it all day before I replied.
I told him that I was a huge fan and that he was really amazing and thanked him.”

Although her wishes came true, she stated once again, “I hope to meet him just once.” Hopefully she will be able to meet him once he is discharged from the military this fall!
