[enter-talk] THE REASON HAN SOHEE GAVE UP STUDYING ABROAD AND DEBUTED INSTEAD

PD(?): But debuting at 25 is indeed late

HSH: I actually got admitted to a school

PD: And you didn't go?

HSH: I couldn't go... I got admitted to a school in France. But the bank under my name must have had 60M won under it...(45K USD) And I had issues with my visa. And also where can I even find 60M won?

PD: You had to have that kind of money? Just to go to school?

HSH: Because there are a lot of illegal immigrants... So seeing this, I started working part-time and if I worked 12 hours a day in a brewery bar, I received 1.8M won (1.3K USD). And then I modelled 2 hours, and they would pay me 3M won (2.8K USD). I was modelling for that clothing brand called Musinsa and got a gig for Ritz.

HSH: And then I got shocked because I suddenly had 20M won in my bank account. Because I didn't have an agency, so there was no things like sharing fees. It all went to me! 20M won!

PD: So all you had to do is pay tax?

HSH: I thought "ok this is it1' This is it! If I shoot 3 ads with them, I'll earn my 60M won and let's go (to France)!" This was how I thought, but then, things kept coming left and right. My life's turning point was that ad with Ritz.

PD: So you could've already went to your school abroad, but because gigs kept on coming, 20M won (15K USD)! 40M won (30K USD)! 60M won! You learned how money tasted like.

HSH: I saw that Ritz ad, and our Hwang Bok-yong CEO told me "try acting". But I said "I would hate it". He kept telling me "Let's just try acting once" and I said "I don't want it"

PD: Ah~ so there was a lot of persuading to do

Being a celebrity is f*cking lucrative, but seeing how she was an amateur model and received 3M won from modelling 2 hours and then shot one ad and got 20M, I can understand why non-celebrities will shoot a show then completely quit their job to enter the broadcast industry

But Han Sohee took her grandmother in and worked so hard in her part-time jobs, she debuted as an actress through her own means, I find her cool because she's self-made

This is the reality, the people who will work themself to their bones and get paid minimum wage and get to stand in front of a camera for only a brief moment at the end are in the thousands

Seriously her looks are the one feeding her... She must've had a reality check after working her part time

Being a celebrity is indeed f*cking the best, and Han Sohee has one of the best faces among celebrities
