Han met with reporters at a café in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on Janaury 16 to discuss "Project Y," a heist film directed by Lee Hwan. The movie stars Han as Mi Seon and Jeon Jong Seo as Do Gyeong, two women who plot to steal black money and gold bars in a glamorous city. The film is scheduled for release on Jan. 21.

According to AllKpop, the interview addressed the so-called "transit dating" controversy that surfaced in 2024 during Han's trip with actor Ryu Jun Yeol. The issue began after a social media post by his former partner, Hyeri, which read, "That's interesting."

Han's response at the time, she said, "I find it interesting, too," while later clarifying through a blog post that there was no overlapping relationship.

The actress also commented on allegations that she operated a secondary account used to post malicious comments about Hyeri.

The actress acknowledged that suspicion grew after her close friend Jeon Jong Seo followed the account. While her agency denied the claims, the controversy led to sustained public criticism.

As reported by The Chosun Daily, Han discussed how she now processes such attention. Introducing her remarks on public judgment, she stated that she feels no sense of unfairness and believes scrutiny is something she must accept.

She explained that as an actor who receives significant attention and is often labeled "iconic," she feels a responsibility to ensure her words are convincing and measured.

Expanding on her perspective, Han acknowledged the impossibility of pleasing everyone. Introducing her reflection on personal growth, she noted that repeatedly questioning why people feel negatively without accepting it would prevent her from evolving.

She added that she now treats public feedback as a form of self-analysis, helping her recognize areas where she needs to be more cautious and thoughtful.

The interview also touched on her personal blog, which has been inactive since April of last year. Introducing the topic, Han explained that frequent communication through live broadcasts left her feeling she had little left to write.

She shared that she often turns to blogging when feeling a sense of "stuffiness" or when questioning whether she truly deserves the love she receives from fans.
