Actress Han Ga-in became emotional as she reflected on her childhood during a recent appearance on “You Quiz on the Block.” On February 24, tvN’s official YouTube channel released a preview titled “The Reality of Parenting and a Heartfelt Message from Han Ga-in.”
Host Yoo Jae-suk warmly welcomed Han Ga-in, introducing her as “an actress who has shed her air of mystery and taken flight freely.” She shared various stories, including her meeting with YouTuber RalRal, her resemblance to actor Kim Dong-jun, and memories from her wedding, which Yoo Jae-suk had hosted.
She also mentioned her eldest daughter, known as a top 1% gifted child. She recounted, “One day, my daughter told me she really couldn’t attend a certain academy anymore. So I said, ‘Go two more times, and if you still feel the same, you can quit.’ She replied, ‘Okay, but after two more times, I’m never going back,’” making everyone laugh.
However, Han’s tone turned emotional as she shared a deeply personal story: “There’s something I want to say today. My mother never came to pick me up, not even once. I knew she wouldn’t come, but I always waited for her. Why am I tearing up?” Struggling to hold back tears, she added, “On the outside, I had to be strong, capable, and smart at all times.”
In 2022, Han had previously revealed on SBS’s “Circle House” that she “did not have a happy childhood” and had gone through difficult times. Her emotional confession on “You Quiz on the Block” has sparked curiosity about the deeper meaning behind her tears.
Han Ga-in is married to actor Yeon Jung-hoon, and the couple has a son and a daughter.
