On the November 17 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, model and TV personality Han Hye-jin opened up about a series of recent misfortunes, including being the victim of a hacking attack earlier this year. Cast members sympathized with Han as she candidly shared the unsettling experience, which gained public attention at the time.
During the episode, a fortune expert warned Han about potential accidents rather than property issues, referencing the traditional Korean belief in ‘samsae’ – a three-year period of bad luck based on one’s zodiac sign. Although Han was considering doing renovations on her 500-pyeong (approx. 1,780 square-meter) villa, she was advised to stay cautious as the year might bring unexpected trouble involving personal safety rather than real estate woes.
Why it matters
Han Hye-jin is a well-known figure in Korean entertainment, and her recent streak of strange events, from cybercrime to vague accident warnings, has drawn sympathy and curiosity. The segment adds a layer of personal vulnerability to a celebrity often seen as confident and composed, resonating with viewers intrigued by both superstitions and celebrity life hardships.
