Actress Han So Hee kicked off the new year by sharing a heartfelt message on her blog, offering fans a glimpse into her thoughts and reflections.

On January 12, Han So Hee posted a long message titled "Hello" on her blog, marking her return after some time away.

She shared an intimate moment from her life, writing, "This year is quickly passing by. I suddenly bought six flower pots. I don’t know why. Maybe I thought bringing life into my home would help things grow a little greener together." She even included a photo of the flower pots, showing a simple yet meaningful gesture.

The actress continued with a deeper reflection on the challenges of the current era, saying, "The voices and news from the era we live in make the new year feel heavier for me. All I can do is send a few words of condolence and comfort, and at times, I feel powerless. Honestly, I sometimes find myself resenting the innocent sky."

Han So Hee then opened up about her own personal growth, admitting, "I am doing well. I’ve taken some time to reflect on myself, my narrow perspectives, my mistakes, and the accompanying feelings of self-loathing. But I still feel there’s so much more to learn."

She expressed some vulnerability, saying, "Occasionally, there are people who visit my blog, but as I keep offering these excuses, I feel like I’m showing myself as insignificant."

In a hopeful closing, she shared, "I ask about your well-being and appreciate the ordinary days. I hope we all stay safe, feel a little less cold, hurt less, bury the tangled emotions of this cold winter, and bloom in the coming spring."

Last year, Han So Hee went through a difficult time after a brief, highly publicized breakup with actor Ryu Jun Yeol, which stirred some speculation in the media.

The relationship, which lasted only two weeks, sparked discussions about a possible "rebound" situation due to Ryu Jun Yeol’s previous long-term relationship with Girl's Day’s Hye Ri.

Han So Hee made waves by addressing the breakup on her blog, even sharing a meme from Nicole Kidman’s divorce.

After closing her blog for a while, Han So Hee returned with this new post in 2025, showing a more mature and reflective side of herself. It had been four months since her last vlog post in September.

Fans responded warmly to her return, with many leaving supportive comments like, "I missed you so much," "I will support you again this year," and "Always love you."

Han So Hee’s fans are clearly happy to see her back and look forward to her continued growth in the year ahead.

The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
