Actress Ha Ji Won recently opened up about her journey to establish her own entertainment agency.

In an episode titled 'Ha Ji Won EP.27 Ji Won brought reinforcements' on the YouTube channel 'Sweet Brother Shin Dong Yeop', aired on February 12th, Ha Ji Won shared her thoughts and goals when she decided to start her own company.

"After my contract with my previous company ended, I was flooded with offers from other companies," she revealed.

"But what I really craved was freedom. That's why I took on 'Empress Ki' as my first independent project. And that's how it all began."

As she continued her journey, more actors started to join her company. "I don't give myself any special treatment. But as I continued, I started to question, 'Why am I an actor and what is my purpose in life?'" she confessed.

"Sure, I want to be a top star and earn a lot of money, but when I face any troubles or temptations, I tell myself, 'That's nothing. Look beyond and think about the bigger picture.' That's why I want to help each and every person. They're precious. That's why I created an agency," she added.

Responding to her, Shin Dong Yeop said, "I respect you as my younger sibling, but in reality, running a business isn't easy with just that mindset. There are people, an office, labor costs, and fixed costs incurred every month. It's not a walk in the park."

Ha Ji Won acknowledged this, saying, "I do go out a lot," but emphasized, "My number one hope is that these people I'm with grow up to be great individuals." She then added, with a laugh, “But yes, making money is also important.”
