Hugh Jackman Jogs With 'Hanbok'-Clad Daughter
Hugh Jackman jogging with his daughter, who's pretty in her pink "hanbok" (traditional Korean dress). The "X-Men" star is the honorary ambassador to Seoul; his father worked in South Korea for almost 30 years, so he's a big fan of "bulgogi" (Korean beef), etc.
This is such a precious picture... makes me love him even more :)
