Han Hye-jin, her goal is “marriage, a woman with a good body”
On the 5th, a video titled '3 things Han Hye-jin will do even if she dies on January 1' was posted on Han Hye-jin's YouTube channel.
Han Hye-jin went to Namsan to see the sunrise to celebrate the New Year. Han Hye-jin, who had been busy since 5:30 a.m., expressed excitement and tension, saying, "I couldn't even sleep." Han Hye-jin, wearing two layers of padding, left home at 6 am. Han Hye-jin, who arrived at Namsan at 6:30 a.m., was embarrassed by the quiet park, saying, "There is no procession to follow. I think I came too early."
While climbing Namsan, Han Hye-jin noticed that the signposts for Namsan Seoul Tower and Namsan Trail were different and said, "I'm in big trouble. I'm lost." Han Hye-jin and the production crew took each step along the dark mountain path, relying on the light from her cell phone. Han Hye-jin whimpered and said, “My nose started to come out.”
Han Hye-jin said, “I should go up and hit GoStop,” and continued walking toward the faintly visible Namsan Tower. But after 10 minutes, I got lost. Han Hye-jin checked the map on her cell phone with the production crew and was embarrassed, saying, "We were going in the opposite direction?" Han Hye-jin said, "A big problem happened. I was anxious. I thought I would get lost," and quickened her pace. Fortunately, I found my way and found my way.
Han Hye-jin, who had packed hot water and a hot pack in preparation for the cold wave, complained that as the hike continued, "Can I have a sip of cold water?" and "My back is sweating."
The top of Namsan was full of people gathered to watch the sunrise. Han Hye-jin exclaimed, “What time have these people been here?” Han Hye-jin, who was looking around, asked, “Where did the PD go?” and was worried about the PD who had moved away from the group, saying, “I guess he missed us.” Another PD said, “I feel like I’ve been left behind.” Fortunately, after a while, I rejoined Han Hye-jin's group.
Han Hye-jin took a seat, but confessed, "It's ambiguous. It doesn't seem to be here," and "Should I look at it while descending?" He then expressed regret, saying, “The reason there were no people when we came up was because there were already too many people.”
People were amazed by the rising sun. Han Hye-jin watched the sunrise and put her hands together and made a wish. When asked about her wish, Han Hye-jin grumbled, "Why are you asking me to tell you my wish? It's a secret." In the car on the way home, Han Hye-jin said, "I feel a sense of accomplishment because I think I did well with my original New Year's routine. If I hadn't done it, I might have felt a little uncomfortable because I always did it. It was good." He said, "It's not easy to see the sunrise from the mountain, because too many people gather in a limited space. I went up and came down frantically in a slightly crowded atmosphere."
Han Hye-jin, who returned home, wiped away the water from the rice cake soup that she had taken out to defrost in the kitchen, asking, “Where did the water spill?” Han Hye-jin, who started boiling the frozen beef bone broth in a pot, said, "It's almost at glacial level," and while waiting, she made a video call to her mother to say New Year's greetings.
Han Hye-jin said, “Happy New Year,” and asked, “Have you eaten rice cake soup?” Her mother said, “I didn’t eat it,” and told Han Hye-jin, “Eat little by little while taking care of your health.”
The production crew asked, “Do you make rice cake soup every January 1st?” Han Hye-jin said, “There are always advertisements at the end of January or early February, so it is not the time to eat.” Han Hye-jin put the rice cake soup into a bowl and added some garnishes. They also brought out kimchi made with Na-rae Park.
Han Hye-jin ate rice cake soup with the production team. Han Hye-jin asked, “Producer, what are your goals for the new year?” The PD said, “No,” and added, “My style is to work hard at the tasks given to me.” When Han Hye-jin asked, “What did you wish for?” the PD said, “Han Hye-jin’s channel is a hit.” Han Hye-jin complained, “Do you keep telling lies on broadcast?”
The PD asked Han Hye-jin, “What is your goal this year?” When Han Hye-jin sighed, the producer said, “Marriage is my goal.” Han Hye-jin confessed, "How is marriage your goal?" and "How did you know? Actually, I've given up about 50% of marriage. When you get to this age, you naturally give up half of it." He then turned to the PD and said, "The PD isn't far away. It'll be soon. He'll be around my age and say, 'Ugh. That's what he did back then. It really happened like that.'"
Han Hye-jin, who tried to make a bucket list at the beginning of this year as she has done so far, said, "I felt like I was throwing away the past and focusing only on the future, so this time I wrote a letter to myself in a slightly different way."
Hyejin Han read the letter she wrote to herself. He said, "This is my first time writing a letter to you like this. It's a bit cringy and embarrassing, but I thought this time was really necessary to sort out the past year and prepare for the new year."
Han Hye-jin said, "First of all, you have had a hard time surviving the year of 2022. There are times when you scold yourself harshly, and there are times when you feel bad because you do not know how to fully enjoy joy, whether it is a small success or a big achievement." He continued, "As you started doing YouTube, didn't you realize that nothing ever turns out the way you expected? You came up with an interesting idea and expected a good response, but the result wasn't. On the other hand, there was a surprisingly good response to the video you were planning to throw away after filming. Did you ever think that you would gain some small enlightenment in life while doing YouTube? I got angry and hurt when I saw the hurtful comments, but the more I did, the more I thought, 'I need to do better. What if I become a better person and avoid being misunderstood like this?' “A strange feeling arose,” he confessed.
Han Hye-jin said, "I thought the best thing about starting YouTube was the support and support of people. When people think of me as a better person than you think, I'm really grateful, but I'm sorry in my heart because you're not actually that kind of person. “I did. Now that those thoughts are crazy, isn’t it a good idea to really try to become that kind of person?” He then looked back on things like releasing music and buying a truck, saying, "You've accomplished a lot while on YouTube. Sometimes I'm surprised by your drive. No, there are times when I'm afraid."
Hyejin Han also wrote a letter to herself about what she wanted to do in 2023. Han Hye-jin pledged, "Starting tomorrow, we start recording a new program, so I'll work hard on that, and I'll also have to film a commercial next month, so from now on, I'll have to diet hard and exercise hard to get my body back in shape." He then said, “When I go to the gym, what I tell the PT teacher is, ‘You will become the fittest woman in your 40s.’ So, try to work harder.”
Han Hye-jin pledged, "The most important thing is to be nice to your friends, colleagues, and family. Because of your blunt personality, I can't express it in words, so let's keep in touch and visit often."
Lastly, Han Hye-jin expressed confidence, saying, "I hope you don't get frustrated when you see yourself getting a little older every time you look in the mirror. Shouldn't you let it go? You are the youngest person I know who is in his 40s." He added, "More than anything, let's not lose humor even in difficult, painful, and serious situations. People who smile during difficult times are first-class."
Born in 1983, Han Hye-jin began her modeling career through the Korean Super Elite Model Contest in 1999. She has appeared in entertainment shows such as KBS joy's 'Love Interference Season 3' and SBS's 'Girls Who Hit Goals', and runs the YouTube channel 'Han Hye-jin'.
