Early life

[edit | edit source]

Han was born as Lee So-hee on November 18,[1] 1993,[2] in Ulsan, South Korea. She attended Ulsan High School of Arts where she majored in arts.[3] In her senior year of high school, Han moved to Seoul to live with her grandmother, where she worked various part-time jobs to make ends meet.[4] Han originally had no plans of entering the entertainment industry and wanted to continue pursuing higher education, stating that, "I got into a university in France, but I couldn't go because I didn't have enough money in my bank account. I had to have at least 60 million (approximately US$46,000) in my bank account to get a visa. I didn't have that, of course."[5][6] While working part-time at pubs, modelling, and doing commercials to save up money, the head of the agency to which she belonged persuaded Han to try acting.[5]
