Model Han Hye-jin complained of pain caused by forward head posture.
Han Hye-jin uploaded a video titled "27-year fashion model: the current state of the neck" to her personal YouTube channel on Jan. 15. In the released video, Han Hye-jin complained of long-standing neck pain.
She, during a phone call with an acquaintance, said, "When I lie down to sleep, my neck hurts so much that I get headaches. Pain runs along my ear to my head, tingling, and I can't sleep. I endured it for two years. I could bear it as chronic pain. For the past two months my neck hasn't been turning," she confessed.
In response, when told, "You let the illness get worse. The worst posture for a person is sitting and the best is lying down, I heard. It's not just you; everyone engaged in social activities is like that," she said, "When I was young I was teased so much for being tall that I used to crouch to look shorter. Grandmothers always asked if I was one of those kids who exercise, always that??" she confessed.
In fact, Han Hye-jin said she received recruitment offers from athletes in various sports where height is advantageous since elementary school. She laughed, saying, "In sixth grade at lunch I was playing rubber-band jump in the playground when the school broadcast called certain students to the infirmary immediately. All the tall sixth graders came. The nearby basketball team coach came to cast for middle school. I almost became a basketball player."
She joked, "There's a fine line between being a basketball player, a volleyball player and a model. Hye-jung became a model after playing basketball. I craned my neck to try to look shorter," and laughed while saying, "Forward head posture only appears when I walk the runway. I learned something new. After the show my neck goes back out. I'm a turtle model."
