Han So-hee’s agency dismisses false allegations “It’s true that she was accepted into a French university”
Actress Han So-hee personally stepped up to clarify the suspicion surrounding her acceptance into a French school
Regarding this, her agency officially stated, “It’s true that Han So-hee was accepted into a French school, just as she directly revealed on entertainment programs.”
On the afternoon of April 29th, Han So-hee‘s agency told Maeil Business Newspaper Star Today, “We cannot disclose specific details as they are personal matters, but everything actress Han So-hee directly talked about on the broadcast is true. She was indeed accepted into a French school.“
Recently, Han So-hee shared through her Instagram the response she gave to a netizen regarding her studying abroad in France.
Han So-hee told the netizen, “As you may know, systems involving thinking and transitions were not suitable for me. From then on, I gave up on domestic universities and focused on building my portfolio. At first, I dreamed of Central Saint Martins and Parsons, but after hearing that it costs hundreds of millions of won each year, I chose Beaux-Arts.”
She confessed, “Since I wasn’t attending a domestic university, there was no way I could get a loan. I needed 20~30 million won in my bank account. The housing and living expenses were ridiculously insufficient. Starting over at the age of twenty, I had to pour all my earnings from part-time jobs into the study abroad agency, which was like pouring water into a bottomless pit, but the story was edited and misrepresented on entertainment shows.”
Ultimately, the suspicion continued as she did not clearly clarify whether she was actually accepted into a French school, only mentioning economic difficulties at the time. Accordingly, her agency clearly expressed their position once again, “It’s true that she was accepted into a French school in the past.”
Meanwhile, Han So-hee appeared on “Nattering with Nah” and revealed why her educational background was a high school graduation. She said, “I got into school in France. I must have 60 million won in my account to get a visa. But I didn’t have 60 million won at the time.”
Han So-hee added, “So I got a part-time job. I got 1.8 million won for working 12 hours a day in a bar. But if I work 2 hours as a model, I could make 3 million won. I got 20 million won for one commercial. That’s a lot of money. ‘Okay. This is it.’ ‘This is the way.’ ‘This is it. I’ll do 3 more, make 60 million won and go to school.’ And that’s how I got this far.“
Afterwards, some netizens pressured Han So-hee, saying that her statements did not match the bank account balance that applicants need to prove to get a French student visa, and demanded proof of her acceptance or proficiency in French.
