Actress Han So Hee has officially revealed that she was born in 1993, not the previously reported 1994. This change in information is linked to her family's difficult situation.

On October 31, a spokesperson from Han So Hee's agency, 9ato Entertainment, spoke to Star News about her past.

They explained that when she was about to start her fourth year of school, her mother was wanted by the police, which forced Han So Hee to move to Ulsan.

The agency added, "After that, she had to stop her studies and spent a year at home. Once her mother was imprisoned, she returned to Wonju and went back to school as a fourth-year student."

Han So Hee's mother, Shin, was arrested for running an illegal gambling operation. Reports say she managed 12 gaming locations in Ulsan and Wonju from 2021 until the end of August this year.

During this tough time, Han So Hee's team stated, "This was a very personal issue caused by her mother, and Han So Hee was heartbroken to hear about it in the news." They stressed that the incident is completely unrelated to the actress and is solely her mother’s doing.

Han So Hee also faced controversies regarding her mother's debts. In 2020, it was alleged that Shin disappeared with money from a savings group.

Han So Hee said back then, "As the daughter of my grandmother, I felt it was my duty to pay off the debts as much as I could before my debut. I believed that paying off the debts was the only solution, and I’m sorry if this caused more victims."

The debt issues returned in March 2022, with both Shin and Han So Hee being sued. It was reported that someone, referred to as A, deposited 31 million won into bank accounts in Han So Hee's name at Shin's request.

In response to this, the agency explained, "Shin secretly used a bank account in Han So Hee's name to borrow money. She opened the account without consent when Han So Hee was a minor, and it was used for borrowing money."

They also confirmed that Han So Hee cut ties with her mother long ago, adding, "Han So Hee has no plans to take responsibility for the debts. We will take all necessary steps to stop her mother from using her daughter's name to borrow money and take advantage of her fame."
