#SHOWBIZ: Former actress Sharon Au teases new chapter in Seoul after Paris move
SINGAPORE: Settling down in a new country where you barely speak the language can be daunting. But for former actress Sharon Au, that exact challenge is part of the appeal.
Former actress Sharon Au has moved to Seoul, South Korea, after spending eight years in Paris, despite her limited Korean language skills. The 51-year-old investment director at a private equity firm in Paris expressed her excitement about starting a new chapter in Seoul, despite the challenge of not being able to read the menu.
Au, who started over in Japan in 2005, moved to Paris without knowing French, and now faces the same challenges in Seoul. She plans to eventually rent an apartment in Seoul and continue teaching herself the language online. Au believes that starting fresh marks freedom and the opportunity to discover new aspects of herself, even if it means giving up some competence and certainty.
