Han Jin-hee, unable to grant his works for 20 years after cursing at writer Kim Soo-hyun… "I regret the conflict with that person"
Actor Han Jin-hee confessed that he was unable to grant his works for 20 years due to a conflict with writer Kim Soo-hyun. The previously unknown story of the conflict has been revealed, drawing the attention of many with his mixture of regret in his confession.
On the 29th, Han Jin-hee appeared on the YouTube channel "Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life" and talked about the trouble with Kim Soo-hyun. Han Jin-hee received accolades for his exceptional acting as a killer in the 1980s MBC drama "The Fifth Column*." At that time, he achieved significant success in a work directed by Kim Jong-hak, who reportedly tried to cast him three times.
However, the reason he could not continue with Kim Jong-hak's works was because they coincided with Kim Soo-hyun's works. Han Jin-hee stated, "Director Kim Jong-hak wanted to continue casting me, but at that time it was coinciding with writer Kim Soo-hyun's works," adding, "In the end, I gave up all of Director Kim Jong-hak's works and chose writer Kim Soo-hyun's works," indicating that choice significantly impacted his acting career.
Han Jin-hee recalled the conflict with writer Kim Soo-hyun during the production of "Lonely Relationship." He remarked, "There were so many troubles with teacher Kim Soo-hyun. It was a big deal that I could not keep up back then," revealing the conflict that arose during rehearsal. He said, "That gentleman (writer Kim Soo-hyun) was cold and straightforward. He pointed out, 'Jin-hee, that's not it. Try again,' and at that time I couldn't hold back and replied, 'What is that!'"
After that, writer Kim Soo-hyun tried to cast Han Jin-hee again, but their conflicts continued. Han Jin-hee shared, "During rehearsal, I made insulting gestures and walked out," recalling the situation with regret. He lamented, "If I had just said 'yes' back then, I would have been embraced much earlier, but it ended up taking 20 years until the work 'Farewell' came around."
Afterward, Han Jin-hee expressed, "I don't know if I would still be acting if that person (Kim Soo-hyun) hadn't existed," and admitted, "Kim Soo-hyun's dramas had a philosophy and acting guidelines unique to him, regardless of viewer ratings." He noted, "I learned so much from him back then. I learned how difficult it is to express emotions calmly through him."
Han Jin-hee believes he was able to transform the conflicts at that time into "growth as an actor," stating, "In the end, I think that person changed my acting."
