In an apparition passed on the YouTube channel PinggaegoHan Ji-Min opened on his shy school days, remembering, “I couldn’t make friends easily and I had a peaceful personality. Then, in fifth grade, I had a very extroverted Homeroom teacher who became my role -playing model. I tried to become a little more extroverted after that.”
Admitted that even during the filming of All inIt was so reserved that when Lee Byung-Hun passed, he remained silent. “At the time, the director wondered how someone like me ended up acting”, he said. “But after meeting Lee Seo-Jin, I changed. He is the person who transformed me.”
Han Ji-Min explained that his 20 and 30 years were completely different, thanks in part to his time at Bh Entertainment, where he made his first true friends in the sector. Host Yoo Jae-Suk agreed, saying, “The Han Ji-Min since then and Han Ji-Min are now totally different. You just talked before.”
He then shared a carefree memory that involves Lee Seo-Jin. “One day, he sent me a message suddenly, asking me if I wanted to eat sushi. We took a taxi for the restaurant and said he had called me because he remembered how I had eaten the gold tile fish until the last time.”
The dinner came with a turning point. “He said that one of his junior would join us and told me not to worry about it. That young man proved to be what he dealt with! They joined us and paid everything.”
Han Ji-Min has concluded the story with a playful confession: “I always say that if I had to be born again, I would like to be lee seo-jin. It has no concerns and this mentality” I don’t care “about everything. I even ask myself if you ever feel stressed. What you see on TV is exactly what it is in real life.”
His hot but humorous observations have left the fans amused, with many commenting that the fierce friendship between Han Ji-Min and Lee SEO-Jin reflects the natural chemistry they showed on the screen. And while his desire to be “born like Lee SEO-Jin” has been said as a joke, it is clear that the respect and influence he has had on his life are far from a joke.
