EXID Hanni stood before the public again with a markedly changed appearance.
On the 7th, during the 3rd episode of Channel A's entertainment program 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' Hanni appeared as a guest and revealed her deep inner thoughts.
Before the broadcast, in a pre-interview with the production team, Hanni confessed, "I started as a celebrity too early. After my contract ended, I realized that I didn’t know the world at all. I felt like I was a frog in a well."
During the subsequent 'Auto Talk' segment, she added, "I tend to be quite sensitive to others' feelings, but now I want to stop being that way. I think I was in an environment where I had to be sensitive. Recently, I have felt that life doesn’t always go as I wish; there are things I cannot choose. I have also naturally let go of my desire to control my life. I have wondered, 'Is it okay to live like that?'"
In particular, on this day’s broadcast, Hanni's significantly changed impression captured viewers’ attention. With her almost makeup-free natural face and somewhat haggard appearance clearly visible, there was a stark contrast to the lively smile and fresh energy she once showcased. Internet users reacted warmly, saying, "It seems she has been through a lot," "I still support her," and "Her natural appearance is beautiful, too."
Hanni suspended her activities after a patient death incident occurred at the hospital operated by her then-boyfriend Yang Jae-woong in May of last year. The couple had promised to marry, but the incident led to an indefinite postponement of their wedding, and Hanni also stepped down from scheduled broadcast programs.
After a long hiatus, Hanni has reemerged. Many have once again sent their supportive hearts towards her as she has experienced reflection on life, change, and pain, emerging stronger.
