Hani’s Candid Talk About Her Career and Personal Growth
During the episode, Hani talked about starting her career as a celebrity at a young age and how it affected her perspective. She described herself as “a frog in a well” because she didn’t fully understand the world outside of her work.
“I started working as a celebrity too early, so I didn’t really know the world. I was like a frog in a well.”
She also shared how recent life events made her realize that she can’t control everything.
“Recently, through various life events, I’ve realized that life doesn’t always go the way I want. I came to accept that ‘I can’t choose what happens to me.’ Naturally, I’ve let go of the urge to control my life.”
The Postponed Wedding and Personal Challenges
Hani was supposed to marry psychiatrist Yang Jae Woong in September last year. However, the wedding was postponed indefinitely after a death occurred at the hospital where Yang works. The incident led to an ongoing investigation, adding stress to Hani’s personal life.
She admitted feeling uncertain about her future, saying:
“I wonder if it’s okay to live like this.”
A Humorous Yet Relatable Moment on the Show

The lighthearted moment brought laughter to the set, showing her down-to-earth personality.
