• Han So Hee Reopens Her Blog with a Raw and Honest Post – "I Am Reflecting on My Mistakes"

    Actress Han So Hee kicked off the new year by sharing a heartfelt message on her blog, offering fans a glimpse into her thoughts and reflections.

    On January 12, Han So Hee posted a long message titled "Hello" on her blog, marking her return after some time away.

    She shared an intimate moment from her life, writing, "This year is quickly passing by. I suddenly bought six flower pots. I don’t know why. Maybe I thought bringing life into my home would help things grow a little greener together." She even included a photo of the flower pots, showing a simple yet meaningful gesture.

    The actress continued with a deeper reflection on the challenges of the current era, saying, "The voices and news from the era we live in make the new year feel heavier for me. All I can do is send a few words of condolence and comfort, and at times, I feel powerless. Honestly, I sometimes find myself resenting the innocent sky."

    Han So Hee then opened up about her own personal growth, admitting, "I am doing well. I’ve taken some time to reflect on myself, my narrow perspectives, my mistakes, and the accompanying feelings of self-loathing. But I still feel there’s so much more to learn."

    She expressed some vulnerability, saying, "Occasionally, there are people who visit my blog, but as I keep offering these excuses, I feel like I’m showing myself as insignificant."

    In a hopeful closing, she shared, "I ask about your well-being and appreciate the ordinary days. I hope we all stay safe, feel a little less cold, hurt less, bury the tangled emotions of this cold winter, and bloom in the coming spring."

    Last year, Han So Hee went through a difficult time after a brief, highly publicized breakup with actor Ryu Jun Yeol, which stirred some speculation in the media.

    The relationship, which lasted only two weeks, sparked discussions about a possible "rebound" situation due to Ryu Jun Yeol’s previous long-term relationship with Girl's Day’s Hye Ri.

    Han So Hee made waves by addressing the breakup on her blog, even sharing a meme from Nicole Kidman’s divorce.

    After closing her blog for a while, Han So Hee returned with this new post in 2025, showing a more mature and reflective side of herself. It had been four months since her last vlog post in September.

    Fans responded warmly to her return, with many leaving supportive comments like, "I missed you so much," "I will support you again this year," and "Always love you."

    Han So Hee’s fans are clearly happy to see her back and look forward to her continued growth in the year ahead.
