Actor Han Jin-hee, who was famous in the 80s and 90s, shared her recent status for the first time in a long time, revealing the behind-the-scenes story of being offered by producer Na Young-seok in the past to appear in the popular entertainment program 「Grandpas Over Flowers」.

Han Jin-hee appeared on YouTube 'Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life' and 'I rarely appeared on entertainment shows, but I had a lot of suggestions'" Among them was 'Grandpas Over Flowers'"He confessed.

He said "Na Young-seok contacted me directly, and several entertainment producers suggested it one after another, but all of them declined."At that time, there were a lot of dramas, and I was careful that my sincerity would be blurred if I went out on entertainment shows."




He added with a smile, "'The first reason was that I was not able, and the second was because I was busy.'" "Looking back now, I don't know if I did a good job."

In fact, Han Jin-hee is famous as an actor who rarely appeared in entertainment shows. He also served as the first MC of `TV carries love' and has a history of working as a DJ, but has no fixed appearance on entertainment shows. Song Seung-hwan thanked "Thank you so much for coming out like this from someone who avoided entertainment like you." In response, Han Jin-hee said "I couldn't refuse the name Song Seung-hwan because he was so sincere and sound."

In the interview, Han Jin-hee revealed her human side by revealing the behind-the-scenes stories of her debut in dramas and movies, how she chose to become an actor while admiring Shin Seong-il and Um Ang-ran couples as young, and her daily life as a former actor learning how to ride the subway.




He also corrected the fact that the place where he was born was incorrectly listed on the Internet. "It says that he was born in Myo-dong, Jongno-gu, but he actually grew up in front of the Blue House in Tongin-dong," he said with a smile. He grew up to be the fifth of six siblings under the parents of Korea's first married couple's principal, and is an elite student who went to Yonsei University after going to Gyeonggi Middle and High School.

Han Jin-hee is now closer to the expression 'formal actor' than an actor. "I've been bad at my daily life because I've only been doing dramas," he said. "These days, I'm busy learning how to ride the subway and living," he said.
