Actress Han Ga-in Reflects on Career Path: 'What If I Hadn't Married?'

Actress Han Ga-in, known for her 'free spirit' persona, candidly shared her thoughts while meeting with her close friend, actress Shin Hyun-bin.

A video released on Han Ga-in's YouTube channel on the 11th featured a rare appearance by her celebrity friend, Shin Hyun-bin.

Han Ga-in, who debuted at a young age, became a top star, married at 24, and dedicated the following decade to raising her two children, found herself contemplating Shin Hyun-bin's career trajectory. Shin Hyun-bin, who entered the mainstream later in life, has steadily built a diverse portfolio across romance, thrillers, and various other genres. Watching her friend's consistent professional growth, Han Ga-in confessed, "I told Hyun-bin that seeing her continuously working without getting married makes me envious... I wonder if I would have pursued acting steadily if I hadn't married? There's a sense of regret."

Despite their vastly different life choices, the two stars respected each other's paths, chatting for hours before parting with mutual encouragement.

Han Ga-in rose to stardom with the 2005 drama 'Super Rookie' and married actor Yeon Jung-hoon the same year. She took a break from acting to focus on raising her son and daughter. Han Ga-in made her acting comeback in the 2019 drama 'Mistress' and actively communicates with fans through her YouTube channel, 'Han Ga-in Who Barely Has Any Celebrity Friends'.
