In the latest episode of her YouTube series Free Wife Han Ga-in, titled Could Lookalikes Han Ga-in and Kim Dong-jun Unlock Each Other’s Phones With Face ID?, Han met up with actor Kim Dong-jun. The episode featured playful banter and heartfelt parenting moments that quickly resonated with viewers.
When discussing Kim’s ENA drama New Recruit Season 3, Han shared a humorous anecdote: “My younger brother [in the show] came out on leave, so I offered him a drink.” The production crew then asked how she’d feel when her real-life son, Jae-woo, joins the military someday. Han sighed, “I’m really worried about that,” adding that her son already sports a “military cut.”
She then dropped the now-viral line: “I hated it when students tried to be fashionable before college. I’m a total boomer in that sense.” The slang term 꼰대 (kkondae)—used to describe someone with an outdated mindset—only added to her relatability.
Han elaborated, “When I was in school, I didn’t let a single hair fall out of place. But my son already hates his bangs. He asks me, ‘Mom, when can I get a haircut?’ I tell him he’s handsome and that it suits him—but I can feel he’s reaching his limit.”
Kim Dong-jun reassured her, saying, “Soon all of Jae-woo’s friends will want to copy him,” prompting laughter and smiles.
The episode prompted a wave of admiration across male forums, where netizens dug up photos of Han Ga-in from her high school days. With her hair slicked back and no makeup, she still stunned fans with her flawless skin and sculpted features.
Some of the top comments included:
- “Top-tier genes.”
- “That age when you shine without trying.”
- “Her son’s super handsome too.”
- “She’s no boomer at all.”
- “She’s the type you should marry.”
Whether it’s parenting wisdom or effortless beauty, Han Ga-in continues to win hearts, one honest comment at a time.
