Korean actress Han So Hee is facing another wave of public scrutiny due to the controversy surrounding her real age. While it may be true that she lied about the actual year that she was born, you won’t believe the heartbreaking reason behind this unexpected lie. So, what exactly happened to Han So Hee, and what is the secret story behind her real age?
Han So Hee Lied About Her Real Age: Born in 1993, NOT 1994 – A New Controversy!
Nothing seems to be going smoothly when it comes to the life story of Korean actress Han So Hee. Following the previous dating drama with Ryu Jun Yeol and Lee Hyeri, the Korean actress must once again face another issue concerning her mother’s gambling issues.
Then, as if everything was not enough, Han So Hee is now facing yet another controversy related to her real age. Apparently, the Korean actress has lied about her age, and recent reports proved that she is actually a year older than she claimed.
On October 31, Korean media outlet TenAsia released an exclusive report confirming that Han So Hee was actually born in 1993. All this time, everyone has believed that Han So Hee was born in 1994, whereas her real age is actually a year older.
This then caused an unexpected controversy, with many pointing out that Han So Hee has now become a habitual liar. Many fans even raised issues where Han So Hee allegedly lied about the bed scene in her drama, “My Name,” which resulted in massive scrutiny against the director.
However, the true story behind Han So Hee’s real age is nothing like you have ever expected.
Why Did She Lie? Reasons Behind Birth Year Revealed Unexpected Story
So, why in the world did Han So Hee lie about her real age, and why did it become another blowing controversy?
According to an official statement from her agency, 9ato Entertainment, everything comes back to the root of Han So Hee’s problem: her mother.
Previously, we all knew that the actress came from a broken family. She was raised by her grandmother after her parents left her. Then, Han So Hee had to take care of her mother’s unbelievable gambling debt before she had to cut ties with her.
Apparently, this birth year situation is also a part of her past life story. When Han So Hee lived in Ulsan, she could not go to her elementary school regularly as normal students would. And everything was because of her mother’s fraud case.
As a result, Han So Hee had no choice but to delay her education by a year. The actress then returned to Wonju after her mother went to prison. There, she decided to stay and re-enroll as a fourth grader, where most of the students were born in 1994. She continued living among the people who were born in 1994 through her debut in the entertainment industry.
“Right before I was supposed to start fourth grade, my mom got into legal trouble. So, we had to move to Ulsan.
I ended up staying home for a year. I couldn’t go to school. Then, after she was sent to prison, I came back to Wonju and re-enrolled in fourth grade.”

With the story revealed, we can finally understand why Han So Hee technically wasn’t lying about her age. In Korean culture, age often aligns with the year a person starts school, which makes it natural to assume someone’s age based on their school year. So when it comes to figuring out Han So Hee’s real age, basing it on her school year is completely normal.
