Actor Han Ye-ri beautifully wrapped up her 15-year journey with People Entertainment by conducting a photo interview for the July issue of Marie Claire.
People Entertainment (hereafter referred to as 'People Enter') stated, "After close discussions with actor Han Ye-ri, we have decided to end our management duties with her after 15 years of collaboration. We sincerely thank actor Han Ye-ri for her time with People Enter." At the same time, they drew attention by releasing a photo from the July issue of Marie Claire featuring Lee So-young, who discovered Han Ye-ri, and actor Han Ye-ri, with a message supporting each other as they both embark on a new start after a long time in the entertainment industry.
In the published photos, the two are dressed in black outfits, gazing in one direction from a corridor. This captures the two, who have worked together toward the same goal for a long time. Furthermore, the image of the two in white outfits appearing to look at each other across a table conveys their mutual affection. Meanwhile, their friendly appearance sitting side by side with bright smiles attracts attention.
When asked whether they had any dreams they shared during their time together, CEO Lee So-young noted, "If it's a dream, I hoped that Han Ye-ri would stand in the brightest place with people who could truly appreciate her value and love her." She expressed her affection for Han Ye-ri as an actor and as a person. Han Ye-ri replied, "Rather than any big goal or dream, there was a direction we hoped for together. I think that direction was 'gratitude.' (CEO Lee So-young) thought a lot about how I could be loved in the film industry and naturally helped me find my worth. And she made it possible for others to cherish me."
When asking what hopes they hold for each other as they look at each other in the long term, CEO Lee So-young stated, "I think Han Ye-ri is the most humane actress. If I express my love to Ye-ri for the last time, I would like to say, 'It’s all okay.'" She added, "The future will be a process for Han Ye-ri to replant the love she received from People Entertainment," providing strong support.
Han Ye-ri also stated, "On a very simple level, it might seem like we are really parting ways, but from the perspective of people creating a new business, I believe it's a very positive thing. Just as I love the CEO, whenever anything happens, I will gladly be there, and as much as the CEO loves me, she will help me in every possible way. I think we will continue to think about how to grow together. We are partners who look forward to each other's growth more than anyone else."
