Actress Park Yeon-su expressed her frustration over the notification that her daughter Song Ji-a was unable to participate in a golf tournament. On the 16th, Park Yeon-su posted on her Instagram, "(Ji-a, who started golf late) wishes to turn professional as soon as possible," and began her post by saying, "Why wouldn't she want to represent the national team like her father (Song Jong-guk)?" She continued, "To ease her mother's burden, she skipped the national team and reserve team and aimed to turn pro quickly. She was working twice as hard these days for the KLPGA President's Cup, but a week before the tournament, we received a call saying she couldn't participate. The KLPGA application was submitted a month ago, but because the score from another tournament was listed as 74 when it was actually 71, she was disqualified."

Park Yeon-su said, "I confused the scores from the Gochang tournament and the Bitgoeul Beanie tournament and submitted a higher score. It's 100% my fault," blaming herself. However, she added, "This tournament isn't held ten times a year, and not even giving a chance to correct the mistake and immediately cutting her off is unfair. It's like submitting a job application but not even getting an interview." She went on, "How can this happen just because the score was submitted higher? Shouldn't they inform us in advance whether the qualification is appropriate or not so we can make corrections?" She lamented, "I feel sorry for Ji-a, who was so desperate to participate but can't. I'm really sorry as a foolish mother. Please stop talking about customs and hope that KLPGA will develop. This tournament can be truly important to someone."

Meanwhile, Park Yeon-su married former soccer player Song Jong-guk in 2006 and has one son and one daughter. They appeared on the MBC variety show 'Dad! Where Are We Going?' and received much love but divorced in 2015 after nine years of marriage. Their daughter Song Ji-a is active as a golfer and recently won a golf tournament.
