In the 'four-person table,' actress Lee Ha-nee shared her debut story and her thoughts on her next work.
Lee Ha-nee appeared on the Channel A entertainment show 'four-person table' that aired on the 3rd.
On that day, Lee Ha-nee said she was born into a family of traditional Korean music and that she practiced traditional music during her prenatal education. In fact, Lee Ha-nee's family is known as a 'traditional Korean music elite,' with her mother being a gong player designated as a human cultural heritage, her sister winning a presidential award as a gong performer, and her younger sibling also active as a flute performer.
Lee Ha-nee, who grew up in a house of traditional Korean music, noted, "I had a lot of interest in comprehensive arts during my school years and learned various instruments besides the gong," adding, "I had great interest in dance and singing classes and was briefly a trainee at YG Entertainment," surprising everyone. She also lived as a YG trainee after entering graduate school in Korean traditional music.
Lee Ha-nee said, "But anyone could tell I looked like a graduate student, and I planned to dye my hair at a local shop for a change of image." She mentioned that the shop owner thought she looked like a Miss Korea. She then shared how her mother was persuaded by the shop owner for her to debut in the entertainment industry, saying, "At that time, I had no intention of participating in Miss Korea since I was a trainee, but being involved in traditional Korean music made me curious about how to view Korea's beauty, so I decided to compete to test myself."
Thus, Lee Ha-nee crowned the 'Miss Korea' title in 2006, and the following year, in 2007, she finished 4th in 'Miss Universe,' starting to gain recognition. After that, she coincidentally began taking acting lessons. Lee Ha-nee expressed, "I felt a catharsis while delivering lines; it was the first moment I felt liberated," adding, "Since I became an instrument myself and began to express actively, I completely fell in love with acting."
However, Lee Ha-nee, whose first script contained 80% cursing, said, "I couldn't utter a single word. I felt liberated during training," and continued, "As the breaths intertwined, curses naturally rolled off my tongue," demonstrating cursing acting on set. She mentioned that participating in musicals also became nourishment for her acting career, leading everyone to call her a "natural actress."
Lee Ha-nee, who said, "I still find working enjoyable," when asked about roles she wants to try in the future, replied, "I would love to play a role where I shave my head; I want to play a completely bald anti-social villain, a fierce female warrior." Everyone responded, "That would be so cool!" supporting her acting transformation.
