Han Hye-jin "I will be the best woman in her 40s"

Han Hye-jin made up her mind by making plans for 2023.

On the 5th, a video titled ‘3 things Han Hye-jin will do even if she dies on January 1’ was uploaded to Han Hye-jin’s YouTube channel.

Han Hye-jin, who came to see the New Year's sunrise at Namsan, ate rice cake soup and had time to make New Year's resolutions. 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 come to 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, the video you were planning to throw away after filming got a surprisingly good response. Listen. Have you ever thought 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 it, 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 amazed at your drive. No, sometimes 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'.
