Actress Han Da-gam is actively pursuing projects across YouTube and the theater stage.
Han Da-gam is generating major buzz by presenting a new format that combines sitcom and sketch comedy, the so-called "sitcom-skit project [Cantankerous Han Da-gam's diary]," on her self-run YouTube channel "Han Da-gam's Han Da-gam."
"Cantankerous Han Da-gam's diary" is a series that wittily explores realistic situations in everyday life and delightfully captures Han Da-gam's candid, human charm. In particular, the recently released episode 5 (1.38 million views) and episode 6 (1.01 million views) consecutively surpassed 1 million views, proving explosive popularity.
Set against a golf course, this episode comically portrays the realistic perspective of a caddie observing once-successful actress Han Da-gam, her manager and the director, cleverly satirizing the "reality of entertainment golf" and earning viewers' sympathy. Actress Jung I-rang made a special appearance as the caddie, boosting the show's appeal with her sharply realistic comic performance.
Viewers have reacted enthusiastically with praises such as "100% reflects reality, it's so funny," "it feels like the sitcoms we watched when we were young, so nostalgic," and "Han Da-gam's willingness to let herself go is admirable."
"Cantankerous Han Da-gam's diary" is directed by Yoon Ryu-hae, a former SBS drama PD, and features Korea Comedy Contest (SBS 8th class) comedian Kim Yong-hyun and actor Lee Seon-gu as regular cast members. Various guests appear each episode, adding abundant entertainment.
Through the content, Han Da-gam reveals diverse hobbies such as cooking, hiking, travel and golf, showing both her professional side as an actress and her human charm. She also shared a playful aspiration, saying that "wishing for the happiness of my family and friends is my biggest dream," and that she would "like to start a company called 'Google Pacific' someday."
Meanwhile, Han Da-gam recently concluded a successful run of the play A Streetcar Named Desire at the National Theater's Daloreum Theater. The performance marked her first theatrical challenge and was regarded as a successful debut amid sold-out shows and critical acclaim.
Han Da-gam is scheduled to meet audiences again for the final performance of A Streetcar Named Desire on the 17th at 7:30 p.m. at the Yongin City Lifelong Learning Center's Grand Gathering Plaza.
