[Photo News] Tiny starlet captivates TV viewers

She can barely put a full sentence together, but two-year-old Choo Sa-rang sure knows how to make TV viewers of virtually all ages squeal with delight.

The infant daughter of Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Choo Sung-hoon is rapidly gaining popularity with her appearances on “Superman is Back,” a segment of a South Korean variety TV show that has become wildly popular.

Netizens express their enjoyment every week after cuddly moments and innocent expressions from “Choovely” (combination of Choo and lovely) are aired on TV.

Sa-rang, while among youngest, is not the only child celebrity to have gained popularity through TV shows. A number of children, mostly offspring of celebrities, have been launched into TV by broadcasters, starring in programs such as “Appa Odeiga” (Daddy, where are we going?).
