Han Ga-in Reflects on Acting Career While Praising Shin Hyun-been's Path

Actress Han Ga-in has expressed a sense of wistfulness about her acting career, drawing parallels with her friend Shin Hyun-been's different life path. In a video released on Han Ga-in's YouTube channel on the 11th, titled 'What Happens When Han Ga-in, Who Has Almost No Celebrity Friends, Meets Her Real Best Friend Actress Shin Hyun-been (Update on Reply 1988's Jang Gyeo-wool)', Shin Hyun-been made her first-ever celebrity guest appearance.

Han Ga-in playfully described Shin Hyun-been as perhaps being a 'career woman who is a solo advocate,' but the video's captions humorously pointed out that she herself 'married at 24.' The two actresses, who previously worked together in the drama 'Misty,' reminisced about their time on set and the lasting friendships formed, including with co-stars Goo Jae-yi and Choi Hee-seo.

Han Ga-in lavished praise on Shin Hyun-been, calling her the 'most free-spirited and trendsetting person' she knows. She admired Shin Hyun-been's ability to secure reservations at popular, in-demand restaurants, something Han Ga-in herself avoids. While Shin Hyun-been continues to be active in films and dramas, Han Ga-in, who stepped away from acting after marriage and childbirth, admitted, "Seeing Hyun-been continue working consistently without getting married, I do feel a bit envious." She mused about whether her own path might have been different had she not married early and continued her acting career.

Han Ga-in debuted in 2005 with the drama 'Super Rookie' and quickly rose to stardom with subsequent roles in hit series like 'Bad Housemate' and 'Super Daddy Yeol'. She married a non-celebrity in 2009 and is a mother of two. Currently, she is focusing on her family while engaging with fans through her personal YouTube channel, 'Han Ga-in TV'.
