Chanyeol's sister, Park Yoo-ra

Former Korean TV announcer Park Yoo-ra, more famously known as the sister of Chanyeol from the K-pop boy group Exo, recently posted on her Instagram of her doing some sightseeing in Singapore and visiting various landmarks. She also praised the blend of architectural style that is present in Singapore.

Her caption reads: "The expression 'harmony between tradition and modernity' is cliche, but there is no other way to explain it. Among the gorgeous high-rise buildings, there is a convent, a hotel, and a suspension bridge built in the 1800s. The old city hall and courthouse are used as art galleries, and the post office is used as a hotel. Conclusion = Charming!" Yoo-ra was an announcer for South Korean broadcasting stations MBC and YTN until she retired in 2019.

Jared Leto
