Han So Hee’s Real Age Revealed: Actress Is a Year Older Than We Thought!
On October 31, 9ato Entertainment, the agency representing popular South Korean actress Han So Hee, released a statement clarifying a long-standing question about her age. While her official profile has stated her birth year as 1994, it turns out Han So Hee was actually born in 1993, making her a year older than previously thought.
The agency shared that the discrepancy in her age traces back to complex circumstances from her childhood. When Han So Hee was in fourth grade, she faced significant challenges after her mother was involved in legal issues. "Due to her mother's legal situation, she was forced to move to Ulsan and missed a year of school," explained 9ato Entertainment. When she later returned to school in Wonju, she had to re-enroll in the fourth grade, which caused the confusion around her age.
The situation arose because of Han So Hee’s mother’s fraud charges, which kept the young actress out of school for an entire year. This led to her resuming school a year later than her peers, a change that altered her academic records and ultimately her public age profile.
Han So Hee’s Relationship with Her Mother: A Complex Story
This recent revelation isn’t the first time Han So Hee’s mother has been in the news. Four years ago, during a different controversy, Han So Hee disclosed her complicated family history, sharing how she was raised by her grandmother from the age of five following her parents’ divorce. She has maintained limited contact with her mother since then, though she took on the responsibility of paying off her mother’s debts. Han So Hee expressed that these financial burdens were her mother’s decisions, made independently of her.
When Ms. Shin, her mother, was later arrested for operating an illegal gambling establishment, Han So Hee’s agency clarified the actress’s separation from the incident, stating, “These matters are personal issues related solely to her mother. Han So Hee is saddened to learn about them through the media and wishes to assure her fans that her work and reputation are entirely independent of her mother’s actions.”
Fans Show Support for Han So Hee’s Strength and Resilience
Fans and the public have shown strong support for Han So Hee, admiring her resilience and dedication to her career despite the challenges she has faced. Many expressed their empathy, recognizing the difficulties she’s overcome and applauding her commitment to her family, her work, and her personal values.
As Han So Hee continues to gain popularity in the entertainment industry, her fans stand by her, impressed by both her talent and her strength in navigating life’s challenges. This new revelation only serves to strengthen the bond between her and her supporters, who see her as an inspiring figure.
