Actor Han Jin-hee revealed a heart-wrenching family story about losing his 7-year-old grandson to leukemia. He calmly conveyed the reason for keeping the filming schedule despite receiving the bad news, leaving a deep aftertaste.
On the 5th, a video entitled 'Actor Han Jin-hee's final episode (the story of his dedication to filming despite a sad family history)' was released on the YouTube channel 'Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life.' That day, host Song Seung-hwan cautiously opened the discussion by saying, 'I heard that your brother was filming when his grandson passed away from leukemia over a decade ago. Even so, he managed to complete the filming.'
In response, Han Jin-hee said, 'At that time, I was working on three dramas simultaneously. I was so busy that I didn't want to say, 'I'll leave first' because of my personal issues. I just carried on until the end.' He reflected on that time, adding, 'But I don't know how that got out. If he were alive now, he would have been a university student.'
Regarding the reason for completing the filming without informing the production team of the bad news, he expressed that 'it's my personal matter. It's not related to the broadcasting station's work. I should bury my own issues.'
Han Jin-hee also mentioned that before his grandson passed away, he had consulted with the niece of actress Lee Mi-young. He recounted, 'I have visited more than 50 places reputed to be famous for fortune-telling, and all said he would 'live', but that friend (Lee Mi-young's niece) was the only one who said he would 'die.' Then, she said, 'When that child's younger sibling is born, he will become a great person.'
He added, 'Indeed, the grandson has passed, and a few years later, a younger sibling was born. Now, in the 5th grade of elementary school, he can do anything. It's truly amazing.' Han Jin-hee mentioned that when he recently met Lee Mi-young again, he expressed his desire to consult that niece again, but she responded, 'I no longer do readings,' which made him smile with a hint of disappointment.
