Han Chae-young & Manager's Heartwarming 'Family-like' Bond in Spotlight Amidst Managerial Misconduct Allegations

Amidst the recent allegations of managerial misconduct involving comedian Park Na-rae, the heartwarming relationship between actress Han Chae-young and her manager is being brought back into the spotlight.

In a past broadcast, Han Chae-young garnered attention for treating her manager not just as a business partner, but as a 'family member,' demonstrating deep trust and affection.

During the MBC entertainment program 'Omniscient Interfering View,' aired in July 2021, the daily life of Lee Jung-hee, Han Chae-young's manager of five years, was revealed. The manager casually entered Han Chae-young's home and inspected the kitchen, explaining his focus on her health management by saying, "I can tell what she's eaten just by looking at the kitchen."

The manager shared, "When filming starts, she has to lose weight rapidly, which can harm her body. I usually monitor her eating habits," adding with a laugh, "When she craves snacks, she buys two boxes at once, and her fridge is always full of high-calorie drinks like cola and lattes. She even gained 7-8 kg before a drama and reported it to the production team."

Later, Han Chae-young started her morning with a sweet coffee, prompting the manager to encourage her to exercise, saying, "You need to run in the morning." While sweating on the treadmill, Han Chae-young sat on a piece of furniture that then lowered, making her flustered and exclaiming, "Proof I've gained weight," which added to the humor.

Han Chae-young also prepared breakfast for her manager herself, but her less-than-expert cooking skills provided another moment of laughter. Her manager defended her, saying, "She makes bossam too. She's not that bad."

After filming, Han Chae-young visited her manager's newly moved-in home. Upon seeing the tidy house, Han Chae-young expressed admiration. The manager revealed, "You bought me the curtains, hangers, mattress, and storage units. You even helped me find the house." He then became emotional, adding, "When I was struggling so much and was about to move back to Daegu, you stopped me, saying, 'You're meant to succeed, why give up?'"

Han Chae-young expressed her deep trust, stating, "When you work in this industry, it gets confusing who is on your side. My manager is truly on my side."

In the midst of ongoing controversies surrounding alleged managerial misconduct in the entertainment industry, the relationship between Han Chae-young and her manager serves as a poignant example, prompting reflection on what constitutes a desirable partnership between celebrities and their staff.

Netizens commented, "Han Chae-young's manager is blessed," "This kind of relationship is so heartwarming to see," and "Their mutual support for each other is touching," adding to the positive sentiment.
