Han Hye-jin Reveals Hidden Family History on 'My Little Old Boy': 'I Should Have Been Born a Man'

Model Han Hye-jin has revealed a deeply personal family history on the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (hereinafter referred to as 'MiWooSe'), leaving viewers and the studio audience in tears.

During the broadcast on the 16th, Han Hye-jin visited a fortune teller with fellow cast member Bae Jung-nam. The fortune teller delivered a shocking prophecy, stating, "A general should have been born into the Han family, but you were born female and raised like a son. Even with parents, your affection was taken by siblings, making you pitiful and regrettable."

She also opened up about her career as a model. Han Hye-jin shared, "I didn't initially set out with the ambition to become a model. I ended up on this path and felt I had to succeed once I was in it." She continued, "My strong personality led to success, but now I want to rest. It's too difficult. The weight on both my shoulders is immense, I'm exhausted and want to rest, but I can't. I want to let go, but I can't."

Upon hearing the fortune reading, Han Hye-jin broke down in tears, and her mother, watching from the studio, also shed tears. Han Hye-jin confessed that while she had lived intensely for 10 years, she had never taken time for herself.

The fortune teller advised, "Now you want to rest, want to lie down, but you fear you won't be able to get up if you do. You ask yourself, 'Why did I live like that?' Now, live for yourself."

Following this, Han Hye-jin disclosed hidden family details. "My father married late. He was the eldest of seven siblings but married later than his younger siblings. My mother apparently had a very difficult time because her first child was a daughter," she explained, adding that her mother gave birth to her younger brother, who is one year her junior, with the desire for a son.

Hye-jin, who grew up as the eldest daughter but always felt like the eldest son, became emotional as she spoke. Her mother expressed her remorse, saying, "Hye-jin went through a lot. She played the role of the eldest son in our family. My husband married late at 42 and had Hye-jin. When I was holding my younger child, she wouldn't come to me but would quietly touch my hair from behind, handling it all alone. She learned to cope by herself from a young age."

Furthermore, Han Hye-jin, who is experiencing her 'Samjae' (a three-year period of bad luck) this year, was startled to hear that an accident forecast is coming next year, with predictions of fractures, injuries, and casts. When asked about renovations, the fortune teller sternly advised against planting trees in the garden, warning that it could lead to accidents. The advice included not disturbing the house during the Samjae period, as the land's energy is stabilizing. She also cautioned against digging a well, placing stones, or touching the doors, recommending renovations only after the Samjae period ends in 2027.

Korean netizens reacted with sympathy, commenting, "I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Han Hye-jin," "I teared up listening to her family story," and "I hope she finally lives for herself now."
