Hanni said, "I now want to let go"… She appeared without makeup, confidently addressing the reasons for her appearance changes.
Hanni from EXID has been receiving support after leaving an honest confession that seems to confront the public's gaze on her appearance changes.
On the 14th, Hanni appeared on MBN's "Oh Eun-young Stay" in a different look that caught attention. She revealed herself in her natural face and comfortable attire, not in stage costumes or stylish makeup, stating, "It was a choice to let go of everything."
Hanni confessed on the broadcast, "I started being a celebrity too early. When my contract ended, I realized I hadn't known the world and had lived like a frog in a well," adding, "I couldn't even answer what kind of person I am."
She continued, "Since then, I began to take time to find myself. I started meditating and frequently went on temple stays with a backpack." In fact, Hanni attracted attention last March by sharing her experiences in Dharamshala, northern India. She mentioned, "It was a time to find myself" and referred to her experiences during the temple stay in India.
Hanni also noted, "Today's appearance on 'Oh Eun-young Stay' is a kind of declaration," adding, "I now want to muster the courage to be disliked. I want to let go of such concerns through this broadcast." She shared, "I believe the moment I gather my heart to speak is the start of change," and noted, "Hearing from Dr. Oh Eun-young that 'it's okay to live like this' gave me strength. It feels like my small worries and doubts are disappearing," smiling.
When Yoo Se-yoon commented, "You look comfortable from your sitting posture," Hanni expressed, "I was worried that people might feel uncomfortable, but now I want to show courage," displaying a lighter demeanor.
Following the broadcast, reactions to Hanni's appearance change followed; however, it was her sincere attempts and determination for "the real me" that brought greater inspiration. Even during her time away from the entertainment industry, Hanni turned it into a time of growth. Many are sending applause in support of her honest change as she seeks to look deeper than the surface.
