Aside from fame as K-pop idols, TWICE Mina and VIVIZ Umji are also known as "golden spoon" stars whose parents are directors of top hospitals. 

Here are their incredible family backgrounds. 

While there are K-pop idols who dreamed of becoming idols to help their families financislly, these two left the luxurious and comfortable living as they had to train and challenge the uncertainties to debut as idols.

If you have watched the 2018 hit drama, "Sky Castle," or the 2023 hit, "Doctor Cha," you would know how highly-reputed and extremely wealthy the top doctors are in South Korea.

Thus, being a celebrity on top of having a parent who is a doctor is a dream for ordinary people that the top 0.1% can only achieve.

VIVIZ Umji's Background as Youngest Daughter of Moa Dentist Group's Director

Among golden-spoon celebrities with both wealth and honor in addition to having a doctor father is VIVIZ Umji, who initially debuted in Gfriend.

Ever since her debut, Umji has been known for her friendly and humble personality that you wouldn't even feel like she's actually a rich man's daughter!

In fact, she could have pulled a string to make her debut in one of the "Big 3" companies instead of Source Music, but she started from the beginning and only used her parent (card) to provide good meals for her co-members.

In particular, Umji's father is the director of the famous Moa Dentist Group in Korea, which operates 30 dental groups in the metropolitan area including Seoul, 1 in Chungcheong-do, 7 in Jeolla-do, and 5 in Gyeongsang-do.

As of 2018, the clinic has over 60 branches all over Korea.

Because dental sales are high, it is expected that Umji's father is an extremely wealthy man.

When Umji debuted as Gfriend, a post introducing her as a member was also posted on the official Facebook page of her father's clinic. Since then, Gfriend's autographs and photos have been uploaded, giving us a glimpse of the CEO being the No. 1 fan.
