Actress Han Hye-jin praised Lee Jin's beauty among the "Eun-gwang High School top three beauties."
Han Hye-jin appeared on the KBS 2TV variety program "Baedalwasseuda" that aired on the afternoon of the 26th and mentioned memories from her high school days. She attracted attention by mentioning actress Song Hye-kyo and Lee Jin, formerly of Fin.K.L, who were also mentioned as "top beauties."
Lee Young-ja and Kim Sook asked how she found out about Han Hye-jin's nostalgic favorite restaurant while delivering tteokbokki. Han Hye-jin said, "When I was in high school, I went to Eun-gwang High School, and it was the shop in front of it," and Lee Young-ja and Kim Sook cheered, saying, "The top three beauties. Song Hye-kyo, Lee Jin, Han Hye-jin are famous," drawing applause.
Jin Seo-yeon asked, "Were you in the same graduating class as Song Hye-kyo and Lee Jin?" showing curiosity, and Han Hye-jin explained, "Hye-kyo and I were in the same grade, and senior Lee Jin was one year ahead. She was very famous," she said.
Lee Young-ja asked, "Then who was the most popular?" and Han Hye-jin said, "Senior Lee Jin was really popular. Her face was pale, her lips were cherry red. She was really popular. I saw her for the first time too, and I was so surprised because she was so pretty," drawing attention to Lee Jin's beauty at the time. Kim Sook added, "Back then you couldn't catch Fin.K.L."
Han Hye-jin previously drew attention when she mentioned her Eun-gwang High School days on the variety program "Bob Bless You" that aired in 2020. At that time, Han Hye-jin said of being an "Eun-gwang High School top beauty," "Song Hye-kyo appeared in 'Soonpoong Clinic,' and senior Lee Jin was in Fin.K.L. Back then, some male students were in front of the school several times. But I was too aloof. When a male student spoke to me, I immediately said I didn't like it. I looked colder then," she revealed.
Then Kim Sook asked, "So you were famous even before debut?" and Han Hye-jin cautiously replied, "That's right."
Kim Sook drew attention by revealing Han Hye-jin's high school graduation photo. Kim Sook said, "I only took this, but looking at the people beside you, they really stand out," and Lee Young-ja also admired, "Anyone can see that she has a face for show business."
Han Hye-jin also revealed behind-the-scenes of her debut. Han Hye-jin said, "My debut happened when I was in middle school while walking down the street; the EBS stage director told me to try the program audition, so I tried it and succeeded. So I hosted for six months. But I was really bad. I was so nervous and so bad that I quit after six months. Maybe that sparked something. I had a desire to stand in front of people, so a friend suggested trying magazine modeling and I did it, but only I was selected. That's how I came in," she explained.
