Actress Han Ga-in Expresses Frustration Over 'Cold' First Impression: 'I Look Like a Gentle Puppy!'

Actress Han Ga-in has opened up about the misunderstandings stemming from her initial impression.

On the latest episode of her YouTube channel, 'Free Lady Han Ga-in,' released on the 6th, titled 'What Happens When 44-Year-Old Mom-of-Two Han Ga-in Gets a Full Idol Makeover? (with. IVE's Hair & Makeup Team)', the actress shared her thoughts.

Han Ga-in stated, 'I received many comments requesting an idol-style hair and makeup transformation, so I came to a salon that specializes in idols.' She added, 'Honestly, I questioned if I should be doing this and even told the production team it was inconvenient, but I decided to try and see what kind of transformation awaits, even if I'm not sure what it will be.'

She confessed, 'I rarely visit salons unless it's for an important event. In the early days of my YouTube channel, I even filmed without any makeup, but I felt it wasn't polite. While I appreciate natural looks, I decided it’s better to put in some effort.'

Furthermore, Han Ga-in lamented, 'I have the look of a gentle puppy. When I asked my husband, 'Am I gentle?' he replied, 'Our baby is such a softie.' However, people perceive me as haughty. That's not who I am at all. I'm someone who can't even say harsh words,' she revealed, expressing her sense of injustice.

Netizens reacted positively to the video, commenting, 'Han Ga-in actually has a very gentle image, so it's a shame some people misunderstand her,' 'I'm excited to see the idol makeup on you!' and 'It's refreshing to see your honest side.'
