Model and entertainer Han Hye-jin shared the story of how she changed her career path after failing the practical exam while preparing to enter an arts high school. In a video released on her YouTube channel on the 10th, Han Hye-jin revealed that she attended an art academy for about five years, from the 5th grade of elementary school through middle school, to prepare for the arts high school entrance exams.

She explained that after failing the entrance exams, she frequently received model-related business cards on the street due to her tall height, but at the time, she had no intention of pursuing modeling. However, through her mother's active encouragement after recognizing her daughter's potential and enrolling her in a modeling academy, she applied for a supermodel competition. This served as the opportunity for her to debut through the 2nd Seoul International Fashion Collection (SIFAC) in 1999, beginning her path as a top model.
